Primo and hairloss?

[ironhardempress]

Good morning folks! i have a question. I'm on week 4 of my Primo cycle. I am pinning 100 mg/week. I did one 8 week cycle prior to this early in the year at 50 mg/wk. I experienced no ill side effects other than a coarsening of my voice (no more karaoke for me!) and an unwanted hair or two, nothing major. Within this past week it seems like my hair is getting thinner. NOw, i have always had very thin, fine hair, and my age doesn't help that in general. I am not noticing lots of hair coming out in the shower, or on my pillow etc. but my hair seems "thinner"? It could be attributed ot other things like too much hair product making it limp, or too much use of the flat iron making it break off. I am just concerned but since i am not SEEING the hair coming out i dont know what is up. Should I stop the cycle? should I reduce the dosage? I have no bad sides--not even "extra" hair. Advice?

I've read where 1% Nizoral shampoo is recommended. I've been using it once every 3 days. This is for shedding though and I'm not sure from your post if you mean the shaft (heheheh) is thinner or if hair falling out is making it thinner.

can i purchase the shampoo OTC at Walgreens or CVS? I really don't know what is going on with my hair since I am not seeing any extra hair coming out. Like, when I draw my fingers thru my hair i don't see lots of hair coming out that way. LIke, none, or one or two like normal. It wont hurt to try the shampoo if i can get it OTC. I am assuming that once i get off the cycle my hair will come back, if this is indeed what is happening?

I think so. I got mine from Amazon because I don't like people. But it's basically dandruff shampoo. I've read that your hair comes back after cycle. Funny how last time it didn't affect you and this time it is.....ugh...consistency would be nice.

Whatever is going on with your hair, it's unlikely that it's a result of using primo.

That's not to say primo doesn't cause hair loss, or that it won't cause you to lose hair, but 4 weeks is a little early for hair loss to occur unless you're experiencing a telegen effluvium due to a sensitivity to the compound. But that's unlikely since you're not seeing shed hairs.

Getting OT here, but just to clarify - you mentioned that your voice coarsened last time. Was it permanent? Is your voice noticeably deeper now?

it's just coarse, like I've been smoking Salems and drinking whiskey all night LOL! It got better after I got off cycle last time. It was back to normal in about 4-5 weeks. It sucked because I love to sing, even just to myself in the car, and I couldnt even do that! Like a pubescent boy's voice! crackle crackle!

i just have crap hair....*sigh*

You can get the 1% Nizoral over the counter 2% requires a prescription.

My hair got a little thinner and brittle during my var cycle, especially around the hairline. BD experienced that too, I think it is possible that it's related to your primo cycle.
Definately keep an eye for hair loss. Although, like CBS said, it's a little early.
Nizoral shampoo it's good. I used it mostly for my skin but I've read it can help w hair loss too. I was actually using it 2x a week during the last stretch of my cycle bc I was shedding like crazy.
Maybe you can try some natural hair masks with avocado to nurture your hair a little bit.

Best of luck w your cycle!

any updates on the hgh effects. I'm thinking that might help with the hair

no, no results there. I wish. my fingernails seem to be growing faster tho. I'm back to sleeping good! I didnt' refrigerate the un-reconstituted HGH tho, it was just in my gun safe, and i heard that can affect it. I hope not. I always refridge the mixed stuff.

As long as your gun safe is cool and dark you should be fine... although some brands recommend you keep both in the fridge. Check the box would be the best bet.

As for your hairloss issue, doesn't sound like just primo... it could be many things but changes in your androgens could be contributing... also age plays a role and your genes... what's your family history like when it comes to hair and balding/thinning hair, etc?

Are you on any other medications that may cause this? Have you been under a lot of stress? Maybe even change in diet and drastic drop in weight can cause hair loss too... excessive training and even injuries or surgeries and as simple as being sick...

the other one that I found being a little scary (as I personally eat a lot of it but luckily I do not have any hair issues) is Vitamin A... too much of it can increase shedding and even balding... which if you eat a lot of vit A rich foods such as sweet potatoes, greens, fish... maybe re-evaluate and change up your choices if possible and see what happens... I believe the hair, skin and eye vitamin is vit E... so almonds and avocados are great so basically...maybe you just need an increase in your good fats in your diet???
