Hey ya'll! Hope you guys are keeping your chin up, I'm in a minor dilemma (if you could call it that. ;)) and would appreciate some guidance!

Well, my attitude has changed from "Oh well, ze baldness, it 'appens! Even if at a young age... not the end of the world." to "Oh well, ze baldness, it 'appens! Not the end of the world... but why not try some regime thats low maintenance simply to prolong?"

I sort of want a "Get on with life but take some pill in the morning, and never look at hair after that." sort of thing. Best for the sanity I believe!

Anyway, I was thinking of (when I'm 18 in a couple of months and get a credit card) ordering some of that 5Mg Propeia (sp?), it's cheap, (and well, I'm not prepared to spend all my money on something silly like Hair), and cut it up into 5 Pieces and just chuck a piece into my mouth every day. Also, instead of buying normal shampoo, I was thinking of buying Nizoral- I need Shampoo anyway, eh, so no extra expense. Problem is :

a. Some people here scare me, going on about how Propeia killied their hair~! How it makes you grow breasts! So on, and so forth. Then again most of these comments are from those people who really seem overly worried about useless chains of amino acids falling out of their scalp. Any truth to this?
b. Some people here scare me, going on about how online pharmacies give you fake stuff. I was thinking about using United Pharmacies...is it "legitimate"...?

So watcha all think? If someone could guide me through problem a and b, i'd be much glad!

Side effects are a possibility, but breast enlargement (gyno) affects only about 1 in 300 men on Propecia - roughly the same number of men taking a placebo also got gyno! I've heard that fatter guys are more at risk, due to their already elevated estrogen levels. That's purely anecdotal, however.

As for online pharmacies, there is no way to tell whether they are selling you genuine meds, because they are totally unregulated. Importing drugs without prescription may be illegal in your country. Nevertheless, if you are going to go this route, UP has a good reputation with a number of posters.
