@raj47 - I did read up some stuff about dutasteride....weighing all the pros and cons, i decided not to have it in my regimen.. Still don't feel like adding it to my regimen.. @Tyler_Durden - thanks! ..moving to a new city really helped..i purposely decided to lose my caps..and decided to just...

@??? After I got success, i basically screwed up my regimen ...like taking the finasteride tablet and applying minoxidil only 2-3 times per week and stuff like that.. this was mainly bcos I had just got in my new job and things were a bit hectic for me...and also bcos my hairloss levels were very very...

As you can see from the above pics, the state of my hair now is slightly better off than what I had started of with towards the end of dec 2006. Consider the fact that I lost that much hair(in dec 2006) from a norwood zero (or no hairloss) in just a span of about 3-3.5 yrs. After I started the...

Re: 7 months on Big 3 (pics) Hi everybody! Its been quite a while since I updated this thread...close to about 2 yrs actually! But its not because I'm one of those ppl who experienced a little bit of success and decided to leave this site behind!! Nope...Its because of quite some changes in my...

Hi all, I've been on a regimen of the big 3 for more than 1.5yrs now. Started with 2% minoxidil. Then shifted to 5% after a few months.I had used 5% minoxidil for around 7-8 months before switching to 10% about 5 months back. Currently I'm losing lots and lots of hairs per day :( . This has been...

Re: 7 months on Big 3 (pics) Hi easynow, Nice to know that my story has been of some help. Your recent pics look pretty good. Good luck with your treatment. As far as being 'screwed in the hair loss department', I still am pretty screwed although it could've been a lot worse had I not done...

You dont have male pattern baldness from that pic you've shown. As far as the highlighted area is concerned, try using a normal comb. :)

By saying 'good responders' I actually meant people who are 'early responders' like myself who got very good results within the first 3-4 months of taking propecia. If I remember correctly, I experienced shedding very soon after I started taking propecia and I believe I've read many people who...

Its all about symmetry. At least thats what i understood from watching this show. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Face

I think you should follow what you Doctor says. You've been on it for 11 months now. Just give it some more time. What you could gain from it is a lot more that what you could lose.

You are on the right track already. I guess your Doctor is right about the shampoo because its very important to maintain your scalp in good condition to get good results from the treatment. As you said give propecia some time. Seems like you are a good responder since initial signs of shedding is...

Looks like you've got a mature hairline now. Its good enough that you've caught it early. Get on propecia asap. Thats your best bet.

I feel for you man...Good luck

Hi, My suggestion to you would be opt for just 2% minoxidil and nizoral for the time being. If you dont get any side effects from minoxidil i recommend stepping it upto 5% minoxidil which would give you a higher chance of regrowth. Stay off finasteride for atleast a couple of years. Till then give minoxidil...
