i take 1mg proscar daily
nizoral 2% 2-3 times a week
minoxidil 5% twice daily on hairline and crown
MSM between 2000-3000mg a day

Can you post some photos so we can see how your hair looks? This is extremely important in determining what treatments you need. Without pics, we can't comment much.

I can tell you that if you're just starting to lose hair, you do not need all of that. At the most you can get by with Propecia and Nizoral. If you have been losing hair for 10 years and have lost a significant amount and can see skin all over the old hair-bearing areas, then I would recommend the approach you are taking.

Only thing it will do is increase your side effects. Wont help the hair.

Expect it and ride it out. It will happen.

Saw Palmetto can cause side effects very similar to propecia but we dont have any data showing that it works for hair loss when taken orally so ... yeah probably not going to help much. If you want to double your chances in the whole "antiandrogen" "dht" realm, and money isnt a factor, I would suggest using Topical spironolactone 5% Lotion with your regimen (must be used twice a day) or Revivogen. I think you dont need to though. That regimen is solid.

You are not guaranteed a shed, but if you experience one due to minoxidil, this is the time. Mine was very noticeable. Do not freak out, it happens.
