Hello, this is my first post and after reading a lot from this forum I decided to post to get some opinions... basically i'm looking for some help and to see what you guys would do in my place.

I started noting male pattern baldness when I was 17 and now I decided to do something about it before it's too late. I use nizoral EOD and use a little toppik so to be sure the scalp does'nt show.

Question 1. I'm scared to go on proscar or similar tablets and I would prefer to use an alternative such as a DHT blocking shampoo... would such a thing work enough for me to stop loosing hair?

Question 2. I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed me rogain. I used it for 3 months and then stopped. The reasons were cuz it's too much of a hassle to do it twice a day, it leaves that white residue on the hair, over here its expensive and the fact that you loose all the hair u gained once u stop. My goal is to keep the hair I have... can I go without minoxidil?

Thanks in advance for your help.... what would u guys do in my place?

I use the shampoos nizoral and i just started nano....but to tell you the truth my thinning was never bad when i noticed it...I think for the most part I have maintained with some thickening of the hair....I never lost much so there was never much to regrow...

So finasteride is the way for me to go... so correct me if i'm wrong or add if tere is something i forgot...

The cheapest source of finasteride is proscar, I should split it in 5 and take it every other day... so i take 0.25mg

Iv read about the harm it can do to pregnant women so il be careful about that... AlsoI read that the beneficial effects last between 5 to 10 years ... and about the side effects... less sperm count, loss of libido, acne, man boobs, increased wieght etc.

Is there something else i need to know?
And im in the EU... where can i buy proscar online for a good price without prescription?

Thanks...

Not sure if this helps but when I took 1mg it seemed the itchiness went away and when I moved it down to .5mg a day due to libido issues it seemed to have returned. Itchiness is a sign of the balding process and if .5mg doesn't help that I may stop taking the drug. I will continue for a few more months and restrategize. BTW I am around month 3.5.

As bryan has already stated, 1 MG (for hairlosS) is a fairly arbitrary figure. Im sure the difference between .5 MG and 1 MG wont make the difference between bald or not for you.
