What do you guys think about this stub from wikipedia? "Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is an herbal DHT inhibitor which is cheaper than most commercial drugs and is claimed to have fewer side effects than finasteride and dutasteride. Unlike other 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, saw palmetto...

Thanks man! I just ordered the Fincar pills, and I'll switch to a regimen similar to yours once they come. I really hope this works for me. Even though my hairline has stayed relatively the same since I've started Minoxidil last year, I really just want to bring it down as much as possible.

Hey dude, good luck with the Fincar! I just ordered my first 60 pills a few hours ago and I'm just trying to stay positive about it, since I've read so many horror stories on this forum. The decreased sex drive is really scary but hopefully it doesn't happen to me. I've been on 5% Minoxidil...

Hey guys! I'm a 22 yo who needs some suggestions. I usually have my hair cut short (1/2") and squared off in the front (sharp angles at the temples, straight hairline). But early last year 2006 my right temple started to recede and my hairline started to rise a few cms. I noticed this...

Hey everyone. I haven't been on here recently but I wanted to post about my progress. I've been using 5% Rogaine and Tricomin 2 in 1 shampoo twice a day for a little more than a month now, and I'm starting to see results! A few weeks ago I was kind of disappointed with my treatment...

Thanks for the replies guys! I was about to schedule an appointment with my Dr. to get a prescription for finasteride, but I decided against it. Since I just started treatment this week, I'll be sticking to Minoxidil and Tricomin for awhile to see if they work. I'll look into spironolactone if those two...

I have the exact same condition. I'm 21 and wear my hair short and have a squared off hairline but recently I noticed that my right temple was thinning out. I checked out some recent pics and it's been visible since January, but I only noticed it now. :shock: I've been reading about...

Hey guys! I've been looming around this board for a few days now, and I've read alot about "facial side effects," "bloated ankles," etc. while using Minoxidil. I just started using 5% Rogaine a few days ago to help my thinning right temple, and I was hoping that some people could share some...

Hey everyone! I'm 21 and have just noticed that my right temple is starting to lose hair. It's nothing too dramatic, but compared to my left temple, there is definitely a difference. To help illustrate, my left temple makes a perfect 90 degree corner with my front hairline, and my right...
