Did i catch it early enough?

Ok, here is my story, i would love some input if anyone has any. Im 20 years old and never had any serious thinning/balding until the about a month, maybe slightly more. im currently a norwood 2A or a norwood 3. Ive always had a large forehead and a high hairline w/ a bit of a recession. with that in mind my hairline began to receed about a year and a half ago. anyway, i started lossing significant amounts of hair about a month ago and didnt mess around. last week i went to the dermotoligist and he said it was the beginning of male pattern baldness and perscriped me propecia. im also taking fish oil, which ive taken forever, thanks mom! and multivitimans and vitamins that are supposed to make your hair stronger and enrich them with needed amino acids and proteins. im about to buy the nizoral shampoo 2% and do a shampoo regiment of that and a thickening shampoo. Do people think im doing the right thing and was it smart to take propecia so soon after noticing thinning. also does starting all this so soon increase my odds of maintaining what i have, which is the goal, and maybe even thickening up my hair. Also any other suggestions would be great. I found this site a few days ago and have been on it a lot, there is fantastic info here and its a great support system. good luck to everyone and as always, f*** male pattern baldness.

it doesnt matter if it's been a month or 15 years since youve been balding to take propecia. I dont believe in 'thank god! caught it early!' It's never too late unless you're Tele Savalas

Can't say for sure what your outcome will be, but at least you are hitting the ground running in fighting your male pattern baldness. You might wanna ad Minoxidil to your routine to increase your odds of holding off and possibly even reversing some of your hair loss. :wink:

If you're a Norwood 2-3, you did That should be early enough.
