Nizoral hasn't done jack for me. If anything, my hair has looked its worse whenever I've used it. Best thing for me has been simple baby shampoo.

Any advice? Don't panic and quite without giving it a fair shot. There's a good chance things will get worse before they improve.

I agree with sadscalp 100%. Laser is a complete waste of money. Been there, done that. Even though I don't have interest in dealing with minoxidil. I too agree it is really the only viable growth stimulant. I've chosen to just take finasteride and slow the progression down. I'm also not a real fan of...

If I miss a morning dose, I take it when I can. Say 5:30. Then the next day I take one later like noon. Then work my way back to first thing in the morning the 3rd day.

Laser comb = Waste of time and money. FDA approved safe to use, not to grow hair. I continue to learn that all treatments are pretty much useless without finasteride.

I sure hope you are correct with the up to 2 year thing, but I have yet to find any support of it. Most say they have seen results withing the 1st year with continued improvement throughout year 2. Haven't found anyone who didn't see improvement until the end of year 2.

I will be keeping an eye on your progress Maelstrom. 15 months for me and battling with the decision to add foam or not.

To put things into perspective. There was recently another topic here regarding that site. One of the observations was that there were approximately 1400 members on that site. and approximately 2/3 of the members reported serious sides. So lets just say 1000 reports of serious sides. Now, it is...

juanfran123 At what point did you start to see improvement? I'm 15 months on and still holding hope. Nothing good yet. Although I am 43.

Try again. Sounds like you missed the hole. :woot:

I'm still holding out hope that my hair will improve. Just don't know when to give up. i have another 3 months left on my current batch of proscar.

So, where are all the Rogaine experts?

Sorry to say I'm right there with you Patrik. 15 months also for me and my hair is noticeably worse. No major sheds for me. Just constant thinning. 4-5 in shower and 4-5 when I comb. Nothing is getting any better. I seem to find more stories like ours than I do find stories with positive...

If any of you are familiar with my story you will know that I have been driving myself absolutely nuts over the decision to try Rogaine or not. I'm 43 and have severe thinning throughout the entire male pattern baldness area. My worst area is directly behind my hairline, directly at the top front of my head...

Fights like this always deserve a rematch.
