    Time to give up on propecia?

    2% nizoral (just the OTC stuff). The hair on the sides is as weak as the top, but the back is fine. I guess I should be thankful that I had ridiculously thick hair growing up, or I probably would have been completely bald by now. (Up until about age 22, barbers had to constantly thin the hair to...

    Time to give up on propecia?

    I started taking it about 3 years ago at age 28. My hair loss was fairly gradual but I've definitely been paranoid about it. Every doctor I have talked to and everywhere I read online states that it works, and that without it I would be worse off, but it's honestly seen to do nothing but speed...

    Zax's Story - ( 29 / frustrated)

    The thing is, I've been on propecia for about 5 1/2 years, and my hair's gone from starting to notice balding to how can I combover while hoping there's no wind when I go outside. It's never gotten thicker, infact, it was when I started procpecia that the shedding started to happen rapidly...

    Zax's Story - ( 29 / frustrated)

    Up until about the age of 23, I had extremely thick hair, to the point that the barbers I went to always had to thin it just to be able to cut my hair. I started noticing temple recession, and went to the dermatologist who prescribed propecia. At that point, it seemed like my hair loss went...

    If you had to choose?

    Receding. Front to back. Why? Because I'm a diffuse thinner, in my 20's, and unlike a receder, there is nothing I can do to hide the fact that I'm going bald. At least receders can do combovers. No matter which way I comb, part of my head shows an obvious problem.

    Propecia and Mood ...

    Hmm, guaranteed depression without finasteride because of looking at my hair falling out at record speed, or a chance of depression with finasteride and a chance to slow down the baldness. To me, this is a no brainer. Though, unlike other people, I have honestly become more awake and aware after starting...

    signs of gyno & hyperandogenic reflex? whats up

    How much you lose is unique to each individual. 2 years ago, my hair had to be thinned just to be able to cut it. Just last June I could barely see my scalp when wet. Today, you can see my scalp under dry conditions. And it's all over. Unlike a Norwood person, I can't even comb my hair in...

    Poll: Diffuse Thinning or Norwood-scheme ?

    Well, honestly, I believe diffuse thinners worry more because its extremely more obvious. A receder looks at his hair and wonders whether his hairline is higher than it use to be. A diffuser looks at his hair and wonders where it all went.

    shut off my balls

    Even if you become a eunich, your body still produces testosterone. The adrenal glands produce about 10% of testosterone of your body. It also produces DHT (at the zona reticularis). Besides that, as other people stated, you'll become more feminine. Your muscle mass will decrease, your...

    newbie here some questions about propecia

    I just started propecia today. Just getting sick of how fast my shedding is happening. 2 years ago my hair was extremely thick. Everyone stated that I would never go bald. I mean, I must have been losing hair by the hundreds every day in a shower. It's all over diffuse thinning. And it...

    Time to start worrying?

    Well, only 23, and its only been in the past 8 months that things have really gone down hill (basically when I started my new job and moved). The day before, had gotten my hair cut, and they were always saying my hair was about the thickest they've ever seen, and chances are I'd never go...
