I love these questions... been on since summer 1994, so that makes it 12 years. and YES - it works. although i have thinned along my temples, my hair is completely thick elsewhere. much thicker than it was when i started (and i was 23). modern living through chemistry, boys...

i started nism about 10 years ago now, and it definitely halted my hairloss. It was anotheryear or so before i started on finasteride, but i had very positive results with this shampoo. Just make sure you wash twice with it, and let it sit on your scalp. And you the oil for 6 months as well. but...

yes, it's the revitalize series of shampoos. I also use the spray, which i understand has quite a bit of copper peptides in it. My first attack on my hair loss was with a shampoo made in canada called Nisim. It contains saw palmetto. I must admit that after about 5 months of use, my hair...

So I asked a billion questions about starting minoxidil in January / February. Thanks to everyone who responded. The "net net" is that i've had good results, especially with the SLIGHT thining of my crown, and limited but some success along the hairline. Here's the history: Started finasteride in...

i started it 2 months ago or so, and don't mind it. I haven't noticed any real change in the "thickness" of my hair, but we'll see.

If you believe the "press" (or, rather, the pr people who write the press), this is the greatest thing since credit card debt. Shiseido (spelling?) has just released it. Does anyone know anything about the mechanics of it, or have any exposure to the product at all? I'm very curious.

i take MSM every night, whcih is great for strengthening my nails (which are otherwise terrible) and also speeds up the hair cycle, so your hair grows faster. Might have an effect on response tiimes to new treatments, but this is only conjecture.

ya - that's me. started in 1995 or 1996 (college years, don't remember much). It was a clinical trial for finasteride on male pattern baldness, that a friend of mine got me involved with. Funny, about 2 years ago i was sitting with this old fart at a golf club, and he was going on about all the pills he had to...

hey guy - i've been on finasteride for almost 10 years, and I didn't have your reaction to the drug at all. I would propose that you speak to a qualified doctor about this issue. I think it's HIGHLY unusual for a drug to cause side-effects at this stage, and you may be experiencing an inter-reaction...

Either 9 or 10 years - perhaps memory loss is a side effect! I regrew a substantial amount of hair, maintained it very well, and only recently added minoxidil to the mix. I have MORE hair than i did at 24 - 10 years ago.

well, we do TRY to be different from you US folks. Less guns, more school, better government, and no 5% minoxidil over the counter. I dunno, maybe the kids were drinking it. But we're the land of OTC 2% nizoral, so there.

I just started minoxidil about 3 months ago, and bought 2% here in Toronto. Luckily, i get to new york city about once a month, and stumbled into a drugstore where they had 5% for $16 USD for a 2 month supply. I've been using that ever since, and will buy it on a regular basis - assuming i see...

Stax - i started Nisim about a year (or maybe more) before starting finasteride. And i noticed that my hair loss stopped - although i would struggle to suggest that i actually managed to regrow any hair. My mom actually bought it for me (i was maybe 22 at the time) and i was super unsure about it...

just started american crew as well, after years of using nisim. Seems pretty legit, and does feel quite good on the scalp. Let's see if it helps at all!

I've been using minoxidil on my temples for almost 3 months. I'm praying that it starts to work, as finasteride has otherwise been incredible, except in this touchy area. fingers crossed!
