Not sure if this will work for everyone, but I recently started taking a hair, skin, and nails multivitamin every day and cutting out all sugars before I go to bed and I haven't had an itchy scalp in weeks. I used to lose sleep due to my friggin irritated scalp so maybe this will work out for...

I stopped using this after the first few weeks because of the headaches(dunno if headache is the right word to describe it but its a weird cloudy feeling) that it caused. This might have been because I was using it every night and sometimes even twice a day. I really feel that it did have a...

That stuff looks pretty interesting. I wish they had that at cvs/walgreens so I wouldn't have to buy something with a vaginal anti-fungal label on it. Anyone know about other miconazole nitrate creams sold at cvs/walgreens that aren't specifically for vaginal infections? I don't know if I...

Sorry guys don't have any pics for ya right now. Gotta find my crappy digital camera first(it has terrible resolution so I'm not sure if it would be of much help). The sides seemed to have dropped drastically as of now. I'm just trying to apply it to my actual hair follicles right now and...

Sup fellas, been a while since I've posted here. I was on finasteride for about 2 years with no luck so I dropped that about a year ago. Can't say that I have noticed an increase in shedding or anything since I've been off it. I did get some mild sides on finasteride, after a year I dropped down to...

Just wanted to update since it's been a while. I think it's been around 4 months or so since I've been off finasteride and I haven't noticed any increased shedding. Maybe a little more temple loss but my temples were receding at the same rate even while I was on finasteride. I still don't think finasteride did...

I was in the same boat as you and I decided to quit finasteride a little over 2 months ago. It seemed like finasteride wasn't doing anything at all. I haven't seen any increase in shedding yet but I know it still hasn't been that long since I've been off the drug. I'm not saying my hairloss has stopped...

Re: Fireman's Story - (21 yr old NW7 destined) Update 5/3/09 Alright it's been a little over a month since I've been off finasteride. I haven't noticed any increase in shedding or anything as of yet. If anything, it seems like there has been a decrease in shedding although it is very likely that this...

Jus playin :gay: Merry Christmas!

Hmmm I wonder how many merck plants frequent this board :dunno:

I've been on finasteride for about 2 years and have only lost ground since I've been on it. Never even noticed a decrease in shedding, just pretty much the same as before the meds. Been off it for about 2 weeks now, so we'll find out if it really was slowing down my loss or not.

Re: Fireman's Story - (21 yr old NW7 destined) Update 5/3/09 Well I started this thread when I had already been taking finasteride for around 6 months, and I'm pretty sure that the itching was not a problem before I started the medication. Hair wasn't too bad when I started finasteride but it still...

Re: Fireman's Story - (21 yr old NW7 destined) Update 5/3/09 Not gonna be hopping back on finasteride anytime soon. I'm pretty sure I was getting some gyno from it since my pecs were pretty sore occasionally. I also had gyno from puberty so I'd rather not mess with the drug anymore. I also haven't...

Re: Fireman's Story - (21 yr old NW7 destined) Update 5/3/09 Alright I finally quit finasteride after about 2 years because my hair has only gotten worse since I've started it. The top has thinned a little bit and temples keep on receding. I just keep a REAL short buzz now and I kinda like it...

I've been taking finasteride for over a year and a half now with a goal of just maintaining. I took 1.25 mg for about a year, which may or may not have slowed it down. After a while I experimented with different amounts to see if it had a different effect. I've even tried .625 mg EOD for...
