    extremely notable improvement.. after a little more then 6 months..

    hey guys.. i"m posting my story here because I feel that I have responded very well to the treatment and i am looking forward to to seeing the full results in another 6 months time...

    I started to show a significant amount of diffuse thining around December of last year. I... like the most of you, began to freak out and look vigorously for a solution. I stumbled across this website and am sure glad i did. the support and information on this site gave me hope and reassurance and there is no other feeling like that of hope & reassurance during MPB.

    Im 25 years old and have no hereditary disposition to MPB (That I knew of) . so you can see that this took me by surprise. I researched the famous " big 3 "---( Minox ( Rogaine) fin ( proscar/finstride) nizoral (anti dandruff shampoo) ) and saw that many people have had great success with these three different combinations of treatments while used simultaneously. I paid a visit to my dermatologist and received the RX for Proscar ( a generic version of finstide at an 8th of the price of fin) and purchased a 3month supply of Roagine ( foam) along with a bottle of Nizoral. I began my treatment mid January . and waited..

    at first ( first month) i was ritualistic about the treatment.. proscar every day, minox twice a day and the Nizoral twice a week. i saw little improvement in the first month. I started getting a little lazy with the minox ( occasionally missing a day ) but have stayed the course with the the proscar. and have discontinued the Nizoral all together.

    Today i am using solely The rogaine liquid ( i feel the foam was mostly being absorbed into my hair shafts and not my scalp)usually twice a day ( sometimes only once) and the proscar once a day. i have seen a substantial increase in hair shaft diameter as well as coverage... i will re update this thread in a couple months to show where i stand. thanks again guys.

    Great results so far. Are you taking 1/4 or 1/5 proscar daily? Also, did you have any increased shedding or any other sides from the fin? Thanks for the inspiring story.

    Im currently taking 1/4 pill (1.25mg) a day.. I did see a substantial shed during the first month.. but other then that the side affects are nonexistent..

    i feel like niz is just to use as a shampoo because you need to wash your hair and might help hairloss a teeny bit, not as something that i would rely results on. what shampoo are you using now?

    Excelent results...and btw, your MPB have the same pattern as mine, crown and some "strips" to the front. Pretty much like mine.
    I have been using fin for like 10 months and minox for about 1 month. Nothing changed so far (no shed or improvement), but it is to soon for the minox the show its effect.
