I checked out that thread.. the pics look promising but when things seem too good to be true they usually are. Not saying this guy had a hair transplant, but i'm pretty sure he did. Through a little bit of detective work, I decided to check out the folder those pics were uploaded to. If you...

I'm also interested in seeing if topical only approach can work for me. i'm having massive brain fog / anxiety / depression issues recently and i've been on finasteride for 4 months. The mental numbness starts about an hour after taking the pill and usually goes away in 10 hours or so. So for example...

Just got a hair cut, I think finasteride by itself is working. My hair seems a lot stronger and thicker. What do you guys think?

Looks good mate. The big three are really working for you. How old are you?

nice man. you're a success story already. your hairloss pattern in the front is just like mine. I'm only on finasteride (1.25 generic proscar) and now i'm wondering if i should be using minoxidil as well.

Hey Guys, I've been lurking around recently and read a lot of negative posts about finasteride. I just wanted to chime in and give an update. I'm almost 3 months in to starting finasteride (1/4 generic proscar per day) and I have noticed new/thick hairs growing in pretty much everywhere, but especially along...

Re: Highgarden's story Hey Highgarden, My hairloss looked just like yours 3 years ago when I was twenty. I wish I had started sooner, but I was afraid of the sides of finasteride and get over denial. Your progress looks pretty good and i'm sure it will only get better. Hopefully I didn't wait too long...

I use neutrogena t gel. Despite the smell, it works very well for scalp irritation. Give it a shot, its OTC in every drug store. FWIW, I believe t gel was also the shampoo used during the finasteride trials

Re: djarr's stpry - (Just started treatment) i would be down to reduce the dosage, if not to make treatment more cost effective. I just don't think i can cut the pills in more than 4 separate pieces without crushing it completely. Current pic as requested. I seem to have lost the baseline pic...

Re: Just started treatment About 2 months into finasteride now, and 1 month using Neutrogenia T-Gel (coal tar) shampoo. Besides watery semen, I haven't felt any sides from the finasteride. Still taking 1.25mg /day of generic proscar. I have also noticed dark/strong hairs are poking out all over the hairline...

Re: Just started treatment I just received the 6 month supply of kirk 5% minoxidil. Not sure I actually want to start now though... please hear me out. I've always seen hairs growing on my hairline - they have just usually been getting thinner and lighter than the ones that came before them. It's...

Hey Guys, After much denial, I must admit I'm losing it. Started off noticing my temple recession about 3 years ago (sophmore year in college) but I let it go because the middle was still very thick and i had longer hair which mostly covered my temples when styled. I've been lurking on here...

Just wanted to upload acvfan's progress pictures directly to the thread. Progress looks legit, might start putting this stuff on my temples.

Hey its nice to see another person with the same exact thoughts as me. My dr wrote me a script for propecia but I really can't afford the cost and can't accept the side affects it causes. I just started taking saw palmetto, biotin, a b-complex vitamin, and grape seed extract. I'm going to do...

I started in 7th grade (when I was 12) and thats about the same time i started getting horrible acne. I'll be honest, I overdid it almost twice a day every day. Ive been doing it up until like two weeks ago and I noticed the acne has gone away. I also have had a very healthy feeling scalp since...
