Nene - Yeah, that's what I was planning to do. Only problem is I'm not very good at explaining myself plus I'm a bit of a pussy. If she says no then I might not have the bollocks to stand up for myself... We'll see. Enden - I checked out that website. Looks good. Thanks. If worst comes to the...

Okay, so I've been on propecia for about five months. So far I've been very, very happy with results, no regrowth but I haven't lost any hair since I started taking it, and I pretty much don't worry about my hair anymore. Now on to the problem... My GP. She says that she's not happy with me...

Been on propecia for three months now, no side effects (Had an initial panic over "brain fog" but that passed), and I'm fairly sure my hair loss is, at the very least, slowing down. I'm tempted to say I'm maintaining but I don't want to go overboard. I should probably say at this point, I'm...

I just wanted to add, been taking propecia for over a week now and 'the fog' if indeed there ever was any has gone. No other side effects to report. Fingers crossed it works.

Ive been taking 1mg propecia for five days now and since yesterday I've noticed a change. I feel dull. I can't think, can't concentrate. Does this get better if I perservere or not? I'm thinking of giving up. I want to keep my hair, course I do, but I'm a writer (trying to be anyway) and I...

Ok, after a bit of hasstle and waiting I finally got my GP to prescribe me propecia. Unfortunately you can't get it on the NHS and it's going to cost me £50 every two months. That's a lot of money for me. Do you think its worth it? I don't mean taking finasteride, I'm definitely doing that, it's just...

I was using liquid. Now I think about it, I often applied minoxidil to hair that while not wet exacty was greasy so it wasn't perfectly dry if that makes sense... Anyway. It's about two weeks since I stopped minoxidil. My skin is still bad so I'm not sure what's going on to be honest. It might still be...

Okay, so I saw my hairline retreating and I panicked. I've taken three tablets now (one a day for three days). I'm just wondering though...how can I tell if they are what they're supposed to be? Just wait for the side effects? So far nothing. How soon do the sides start?

I went to my GP today really hoping for a precription for propecia however she's still reluctant to precribe coz I'm on other medication. She's going to get back to me. Should I wait and see or should I just start taking the stuff Ive got off the internet? Im just not sure if I can trust it. I...

Well I was using the regaine liquid. I stopped about a week ago but haven't seen any improvement in my skin yet. I'll give it another week or so then I might just start it up again.

Nobody? I've been off regaine for a few days now, Ive seen no improvement in my skin. I'm not sure whether to start again. To be honest I think it was just destroying my hairline anyway.

Nobody else?

I think, think mind you, not sure, that I'm especially reactive to rogaine and it's causing me skin issues, sensitivity etc. My derm says it's possible. So I'm stopping rogaine for a bit to see if indeed that is the case. Im just wondering though, if it is rogaine, how long do you think before I...

I'm just about to start propecia, next week or two hopefully, but my hairline is getting further and further back, seemingly by the day. I was just wondering when it starts to work. I mean just maintaining, just stopping hair falling out, I'm not bothered at the moment about regrowth. Is it...

I went to my derm today (for my skin), red, painful, irritated face, and raised the possibility that regaine was causing this. I thought this because my skin symptoms started same time I began regaine. The derm said, possible, stop regaine, doesnt work for temples anyway. He also said there's...
