What's up guys. I know many of you like myself have searched high and low throughout various sites throughout to find out information for the problem we all entail, hair-loss. I've decided to write on behalf my experience thus far in order to give others some perspective, and also to receive some constructive criticism.
Background Info: 22 years old, diffuse thinner. I started noticing hair-loss around when I was 18. I decided to started to use Biotin for a period of time, which work pretty effectively, but then the inevitable started to happen, hair-loss began to creep more and more.
What I did: Age 20, after Biotin stopped working for me, I decided to start (June 2011) using Minoxidil (Kirkland Generic 2ML Daily), the results were minimal but I decided to keep at it. The results didn't vary for me I still didn't see any tremendous regrowth but continued with Minoxidil topical.
Current Situation: Age 22, I had decided to make an appointment with my doctor to get a prescription for finasteride (02/2014), keep in mind I was still using Minoxidil daily (1ML). After filling out the script at Costco, (02/22/2014) I've decided to start using finasteride and Minoxidil in combination hoping for the best. For me, I'm at the 3 1/2 mark for using both simultaneously (finasteride 1MG. M-W-F and Minoxidil 1ML Daily).
Results so far.. The results are minimal, though since adding finasteride, I have notice more hairs sticking up and I'm hoping it will get better! I'm going continue with M-W-F b/c I believe ED is a bit over the top, though I think at the 4 month mark, I will start using finasteride EOD.
Conclusion: Results vary throughout, for those debating on weather to start or not, I say the choice is yours honestly. I think starting for me is still trying at the least. I haven't had any side effects regarding the usage of finasteride itself.
Regards: If those out there have any questions or suggestions in regards, please feel free to comment! I know my post isn't a "Success Story" as of (yet). I just wanted to give my perspective thus far on the combination of using finasteride and Minoxidil .
