Hey man, just want you to know your not the only one in this cursed boat, I'm 5 months off of my 18th birthday and have been on finasteride and nizoral for exactly one year this month (started it when i was like 16 and 7 months or something), my hairloss must have started a few months after turning 16 and...

I have discussed the option with my mother and she was for the idea however even if i could hold onto this amount of hair that i have until im in my early 20s not alot of surgeons would be willing to do a transplant for anyone under 25 apart from dr armani ?, i found a forum post on another site...

I'm a bit confused, so your saying / think that I will be fully bald soon regardless of if the current regimen of finasteride and nizoral for thep ast year has pretty much stabilised my hair?, Or will my luck run out soon?.

Hi guys, I thought I would pop in for a one year update, I haven't been on the forums for pretty much at least 8 months and have been trying to just put the hairloss to the back of my mind and get on with my life. I have been on 1.25mg finasteride every day for exactly a year this coming week and...

Maybe so, I have noticed my hair does look a lot 'thinner' atm. It could be shedding but i havent noticed any shedding, theres no hairs coming out in the shower or anything like that.

I in the past have been sensitive to certain things, like soaps etc, that all seemed to pass. Maybe it could be the shampoo I am using?. I shampoo my hair everyday, sometime twice (usually because in the night I have a shower after the gym etc and need to be clean). I will get some Head and...

Hi guys. Recently made a post a few months back before i started a regime (you can check it out in my previous thread posts). Anyways, I have had no side effects really. Apart from a reduced ejaculate amount maybe 75% of the time and within the first week or two no morning wood however that has...

I would say my hair has thinned out to this state over a year maybe and it only got very noticeable within the last 3-4 months. So that would be considered pretty aggressive right ?. But my temple recession is not that bad at all really, more can pass off as a tad receeded 'mature hairline'...

I do agree digi, I feel back to normal now. I think I was just having a terrible week and was tricking myself into thinking finasteride was causing me to become some emotional zombie where it was just the other surrounding environmental factors. Will finasteride be good enough to atleast maintain what I have...

Just another update. Saw an endocrinologist yesterday and he looked over test results and did a physical examination aswell. he said I am pretty much 90% developed regardless of my age and stated that starting finasteride now would not bring on any 'development problems' as Im pretty much already at...

Haisen, to some extent i do agree and know thoroughly about the nocebo effects and what not. Thing is i didnt even know finasteride could cause "emotional blankess" and what i am experiencing currently, it hit me before i even knew anything about it possibly causing that. I also think other factors...

Hi guys, just a quick update once again. I have been on finasteride for 17 days now. So far I have no physical side effects and feel normal apart from one thing, I mentally feel a bit 'off'. Feel a bit anxious in certain situations for no reason and worrying for no legitimate reason, even if i...

Fred, I would love to only have to stick with minoxidil at the moment, however even my dermo agreed with what the people said on the forums, so far its been really fast acting and if i wait till im 18 I could have lost so much hair, My test results show that i am properly developed, under my dermo's...

I just started taking it (about two weeks in) and if anything it has given me peace of mind that i can atleast drastically halt my hairloss through my 'peak' social years and then when the time comes, i can just let nature take its course , finasteride will give me enough time to get my body prepared...

I am definitely balding, I have pretty bad temple recession (Norwood 2) and on the top of my head my hair is SUPER sparse and thin.. the dermatologist confirmed it was male pattern baldness. All the males in my family on both sides started losing their hair around mid 20s, guess i was just the unlucky one
