JDW et al, here's the update: I'm almost a year into this treatment and am only using the 2ml 5% 2x/day minoxidil plus nioxin. The saw palmetto had a similar effect on me as the 5-AR blockers, mild depression & loss of libido, so I stopped using it. On the plus side, I've gone through a couple...

Almost 1k views of this thread but not much discussion. Please add if you can. 6 month update: WarLord, as I imagine you usually do, you hit the nail on the head thus far. I started too late. I've seen some regrowth on the back of my head where minoxidil is supposed to work but the thin hairs...

sfc2010, any recent updates or photos you would be willing to share? I happened upon your thread today and have been using the same routing for 4-5 months. I'm 30 and at about 27 started noticing hairloss in the temples and frontal area. At around 29 I had noticable hairloss on the entire top...
