Right, I've now been on finasteride for 3 months. Tbh, I would estimate that my situation is the same, although I got a confidence boost the other day when, after having my hair a bit long a frizzy for a while to hide any problem areas, I had a haircut. I have it about 1/3 of an inch long, and to my...

What is your genetic history Bubka? Do you have much alopecia in your family? How bout your father and maternal grandfather?

You should just do it dude. I had my pack of finasteride for over 3 weeks before i started, but once you take the first one its easy. It's just that first one that gets you scared, because I think it's the moment you finally admit to yourself truly 'I have hairloss and I'm doing something about it'...

Dude, I can't believe that, you've TRANSFORMED yourself. You don't even look like the same person there. Good for you and keep it up. I started on finasteride because of this story and I've been it for just over 2 weeks now. I know I have a while to wait before I see any results, but I don't have that...

Well, looks like its a fact then. finasteride does affect acne - to me it seems like the finasteride offers the same kind of skin control as a birth control pill for women, in that it lowers the amount of hormone which causes it. Another thing I was wondering about finasteride, was, if it lowers DHT levels (which...

Well guys, I've been on finasteride two days, (I know its a pathetically small amount of time but I'm not referring to its use in hair maintenance) and my skin is great! I've been an acne sufferer for the past 6 years, since I was 12 years old, and have not had clear skin since, but since I took my...

hmmm - I meant that your body becomes accustomed to the finasteride, so the effects wear off. When you say natural maturation and loss, are you saying the loss and maturation of the hairline that would normally occur in someone not suffering male pattern baldness, or more extensive loss?

Hey Guys, been wondering, since I'm only in the very early stages (so much so I can't actually decide whether or not I actually have any hairloss) I wanted to run this poll so you can all give me your opinion on what would happen if i were to start taking propecia now before the major onset...

Well, I have my Propecia. However, I'm still paranoid in thinking that I may not actually have any pattern loss. I don't seem to be losing hair anymore, and haven't been for a couple of weeks now, and my hair is certainly not getting any worse - even when I'm looking for an excuse to take...

Just wondering, have you ever (or ever considered) growing your hair long since you started on finasteride? Do you think you could get away with it? Hehe, I just realised that I've never had it long ever, and I'd really like to experience what its like - and seen as my days apparently not...

Oh dear, Now I'm back to wondering if I even have thinning again... This is stupid - totally messing with my head, maybe its all psychological, maybe its not... Anyway, went to the Doctor, she didn't even know what finasteride was! I had to explain it all to her! Anyway, I've got a script...

Well, to be honest, I'd get on finasteride at first, because you've only just lost the hair in those particular follicles, you have a good chance of reviving them, and restoring your terminal hair which stems from those that are miniturised. Personally, I think an aggressive topical regime...

Well, I think your right, but i'd still rather do all that with a full head of hair! It's thinned dramatically over the last few weeks so I'm just going to get on with preventing it. As soon as I start I know that I can just get on with my life because I know that I am doing everything I can...

OK guys, I've calmed down slightly now. I've ordered the stuff because i figured i'm better off buying finpecia at half the price anyway. The order said it should take no longer than 7 days, but typically only 1-3 days to get here, in which case i will already have the meds to take as soon as...

AAAAAAARRRRGHGHGHGH! i DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED, but over the last day or so like half of my hair seems to have fallen out - at the front, on the top, everywhere - there is hair everywhere! how can this be normal?! Two days ago I was beginning to wonder if hairloss was all in...
