Just as an update to this thread. It's been about a year since I started taking propicia and it definitely does work! I stoped using the mixodel because of the rash it was giving me and tbh I didn't see much gain in it anyway - I was only applying it to the temples - which I understand is a...

There's probably a lot of confirmation bias in the reports of side effects with finasteride. ie, only those with something terrible to say will relay it on forums. I've been on finasteride for over 4 months and have not really noticed anything. A small amount of testicular ache about 3 weeks in - lasted for...

Best of luck. I've been on finasteride for just over 4 months and "I think" the hair loss has slowed or stopped (diffuse loss). I just a few drops of mimoxidil around my hairline (which is still pretty full) just to see if it does any good there - so far nothing - but I'm not really expecting it too -...

Thanks for some great responses - very interesting stuff. I've always had quite fine hair and indeed thought I was going to have problems at a young age - you could see my scalp at the crown but it never materialised until recently and I really notice it now so there has been some diffuse...

I completely realise I've been lucky and my problems are not in the same league as most peoples in this...

After lurking for a while I've finally decided to do something about my hair... (I guess everyone says that at some stage). In many respects I've no right to be here as I still basically have a full head of hair but I've definitely noticed it thinning recently. I know this for a fact as I have...

Best of luck with the regime. I've been on finasteride for nearly 3 months and had minimal side effects - so minimal I suspect it was imaginary. No change in libido or performance either.

Been on finasteride for nearly 3 months. No real side effects to speak of, though no real evidence of improvement either. This is a long term thing tho.

I'm not convinced that a lazer comb does much more than a good head massage would.

Best of luck with the regime.
