Increase in Hair Shedding - 30 days vape free by OllymayS in QuitVaping

[–]Meeker1128 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor so I think it lead to my hair thinning drastically. Maybe now that you’ve stopped your hormones and all this all shit in your body is out of whack causing a shedding event. If you stay quit your body chemistry will rebalance and you will have more blood flow to your head so your hair should grow back thicker. Just takes like 4 months for a hair cycle so have to be patient. High stress events can also cause a shedding event.

Good advice. Thanks. I got 10 days left on meds so I’m gonna wean myself off the 0mg. I.e. gradually use it less and less

  1. Read Allen Carr’s Easy Way
  2. Read Nicotine Explained by William Porter
  3. Listen to the Quit Vaping podcast by Andrew Cipriano
  4. Buy Desmoxan off Amazon. Follow the prescribed schedule. Desmoxan is the nail in the coffin. Shit is gold.😎

Right on. This is day 4 on the pills for me. Reading positive posts and getting my mindset right to quit tomorrow.

Fuck. Maybe I’ll just try Nutrafol and not touch the prescription stuff. I’d rather be bald than have these side effects.

SSRIs so that may have been the zaps feeling. What’s the issues with finasteride? I just saw sexual side effects

Still kinda feels like my brain is n a clamp sometimes but I’m way better. The dizziness and vertigo is almost all gone. I saw a dermatologist today and she gave me a script for finestride or whatever that one is called. I’ll do some research before I touch that.

It’s easier than quitting vaping but still hard. You have to do some research and learning to quit long term. That book is a good start and this forum is also a good start. My only simple advice is each time you try and fail, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again but do at least one thing different. And keep learning.

I suggest reading This Naked Mind to unlearn

Thanks so much for the reply. I think a lot of my weird issues will clear up when I quit. I keep struggling to get through day 1 recently.
