Great! My plan is to get my hands on the prescription and see how it affects me. Later on I could probably try to boost it with Minoxidil, as I know that it works great on me. The important thing is to not start them both at the same time, as I then can't confirm which of them really has an...

Thanks for your help! Do you know if there is a thread about the percentual success rate to get a prescription for this medicine or a thread about methods to convince doctors etc? Of course it varies from country to country, but it would be good to get an overall image of the situation.

I meant that if he decides to leave my condition untreated, I will probably get so anxious about my balding that I'll have to hop back on the anxiety medicine. So why wouldn't he just prescribe finasteride for me?

Thanks for the tip. I am a person that has a tendency for anxiety and I used to take medication against it. It could work as an argument, because in this case it's either the anxiety medicine or finasteride that is going to be prescribed.

Do you think that the doctor will prescribe Finasteride for me? I have a feeling that they maybe won't do it, because they may have a lack of information when it comes to this medicine. I heard that you can get it without a prescription, but I think it would be better to get a prescription. The...

Sounds like it is just in your head. It is good to learn the possible negative side effects, but you shouldn't focus too much on them. You will notice if you truly experience them, so try to forget them for now (even though it is easier said than done). Lycka till!

Good to hear. I have to ask my father about his balding pattern and when it started. Maybe I can get some indications from him. I bet the balding gene comes from him (or actually from my paternal grandmother). My father and his brother have the same balding pattern and even my paternal...

Okay! Thanks for the information, dude!

Thanks for the comment. It could be true to a certain point, but I don't think it is completely about that. A regular pony tail isn't that tight and I have always used that hairstyle without problems. I heard that there is a company in my city which offers hair root examination services of some...

No need to be rude. Which pill are you exactly referring to? I've heard of so many different variants. Hmm, I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. Yes, I've definitely noticed that my hair tends to get oily much easier. I think this started in like early Winter. I somehow connected it to...

Yup, it is quite interesting that my hairline has always been quite unique. I wouldn't call my hair that thin. Long hair can kind of make any hair look thinner and especially when I've brushed it like this so that there is no "extra volume". By they way, I heard that Kirk Hammett has been on...

Couldn't include all pictures in the first message so here are a few other pictures. One picture is with short hair from approximately a couple of weeks after I cut my long hair in January 2013. I'll also include a facial hair comparison here. I always shave the hair on my cheeks as I don't get...

Hello. I am 22-year old long-haired metal music fan. I'd appreciate if you'd take the time to read my story and probably even help me. I first started to grow my hair when I was about 12-13. I grew it for over about 7-8 years until I was 19 and cut it off because of conscription in my country...

I think that might just be a maturing hairline.

I think your hair looks very full. Maybe there is some slight thinning by the hairline, but that might just be a maturing hairline? I wouldn't start any treatment yet.
