I've been crawling threads here for few weeks, about the possible propecia side effects and success stories with 'Big3' .. I'm 37 years old, so i'm not expecting any miracles to happen, most of the success stories were written by much younger people than me .. :$
Anyway, decided to fight back even if it's a loosing battle. Went to see a doctor last week, told him about my hair loss and finasteride. He knew the drug and asked when did I notice the balding process (last summer) and said propecia is usually pretty good for most people to stop the MBP process and i should expect to get zero side effects from it. I had chance to choose between original 1mg propecia or 5mg gefina, gefina is cheap, i think it was around 30eurs for 100 pills (400days) so i took that one. He said i could just bite 1/4 of the pill everyday, or get a pill cutter, which i did.
Asked him about minoxidil and he said that's OK too, but his opinion was that finasteride is more effective. How ever i'm loosing hair very quickly and can see difference almost every week, so i want to do the Big3 immediately for best possible results. Ordered few bottles of rogaine foam and took the ketonazal shampoo while getting the 5mg gefina pills from the pharmacy.
Still waiting to get rogaine foam delivered, probably next week or later this week, but started the treatment with finasteride+ketonazol 7 days ago. No sides so far.
I've basically had good hair until around a year ago, after i had been on heavy painkiller/opiates for 1 year due accident. I guess that didn't help and things went FAST to the point how my hair looks at the moment - very thin and shedding all over the top. Now i've been free from those drugs for 3 weeks.
Here is the baseline, dunno what Norwood i'm at (?) but i guess it's pretty bad by now.. First pic under the fluorescent lamp and other one a meter away from it.
(EDIT: 1day difference between photos, first photo was super blurred so took new one)
