Re: Fanjeera's Story - ( 17-year old balding! Started BIG 3!) Oh for god's sake just quit already. What's sad about this story is that you allowed yourself to get mind effed. There are sides with Propecia for some people. You might actually be experiencing some sides right now. But you know...

Month 7 of finasteride, month 4 or 5 of min, just made the switch, but I haven't really noticed any shedding lately. Sticking with Proscar in 5ths.

As recently as monday I switched from Propecia in .75 mg dose to Proscar in fifths. I think I might be shedding. Tonight when I put on Rogaine I noticed small hairs coming out. Has anyone else here lost after a switch like this? I almost rather avoid it all together if I can and just go back to...

Re: Fanjeera's Story - ( 17-year old balding! Started BIG 3!) Thickandthin is 100% correct Fan. I experienced sides and had a mega-freak out like you and stopped taking finasteride. I thought I had ed- I couldn't get it up for sex one time, and I had a flip. Then months later, a doctor told me that if...

Re: 32 months on the big 3 and counting... (32month pics update) FWIW, my mom (not knowing my secret hair routine) made a comment the other day that my hair has gotten much darker. Then she said, "It must be because you're getting older... Isn't that funny how your hair changes color?" You...

Re: Fanjeera's Story - ( 17-year old balding! Started BIG 3!) DON'T STOP TAKING MINOXIDIL IF YOU HAVE ALREADY STARTED!!!! Sorry, but depending on how long you have already been on minoxidil, you'll probably lose a lot of hair. What you might be experiencing is "brain fog" from Propecia. You're...

A little update: I haven't taken pics yet, but I think I have seen my hair get a little better since the last update. I'm most surprised at my hairline, which continues to come in :hump: . Relatively no sides still. I did have problems with the Rogaine foam. When I apply Rogaine foam I like...

I just sent you a message. After reading this post, I think you should give the Big Three (finasteride, minoxidil, Nizoral) a try and maybe ditch the toppik for a while. There are users here who use minoxidil and toppik, so you can do it but applying Rogaine twice a day is enough of a pain in the ***...

Re: Fanjeera's Story - ( 17-year old balding! Pictures!) Try another doctor and get on Propecia. Hair transplants aren't temporary- they should last forever, but our other hair around your transplanted hair will continue to fall out at the same rate. IMO, it's completely useless without...

Toppik? I don't think so. The Drew Carey Show was in the mid 90's. So, he really would have had to have held onto that hair. Anyway, I'm digging the do :punk: Have you watched more recent Price is Right shows? He's not all that bad. His first couple of episodes were rough.

Suddenly he has this amazing wavy hair. It still is a bit thin, but he does look pretty good, and I remember his hair getting pretty receded and thin in front. They did somthing to him on the price is right, I guess they wanted him to look a bit more game show host-ish. I don't think it's a hair...

Nope I'm in the US. Yeah, it's primary use is for prostate problems. I really was hoping for Proscar, but this should be the same thing and it is probably going to cut my costs into nearly nothing so I'm pretty stoked. Anyway, how is Finasteride? Has anyone here at least switched off of...

I went to my home doctor and finally was awarded a cheaper finasteride. I asked for Proscar but what she gave me was called "finasteride" (self named generic I guess). It comes in 5 mg a pill. Is anyone familiar with this particular finasteride? Is it effective? Is it the same thing as Propecia? I'm not trying...

Re: A 17-year old balding! Pictures! Dude just try the finasteride. Really its worth it. Go to the doctor and get your prescription and start right away. I can't comment on that photoshop pic because I think you'll look a lot different shaved then that picture suggests. I don't think you need to go the...

I think I'm going to write a letter to MTV about this. I'm sure that someone had to come to MTV who used the big 3 and had success but MTV just ignored them because they wanted a better story.
