[MARTINSTERN]

hi ive been losing hair for a while,and ive tried rogaine which didnt really work for me,

im 23 yrs old,and have been losing since im 19,

i want to start a regimen to at least maintain what i have,and maybe grow some back,

im currently only taking some natural stuff,like msm,biotin b12,zinc,

so now i decide to try propecia,but i want to start with Finpecia,

i just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with it,

also do i take a 1mg dose or 5mg dose of finasteride?

also has anyone heard of this website and know if they are reliable?

No way to tell when ordering meds online. There is always a risk. Best bet is to go to your Doctor and get a legit script so you can rest assured what you have is real.

thnx for that,

now im totally new to propecia,and im lost as what to take 1mg or 5mg,
and should i take anything with it,what can i expect etc?

 

[OverMachoGrande]

The amount you should take is 1mg daily. The results vary for everyone but the expected time to see results is from 6 months to 1 year.

ok is there any supplements to take with propecia,and should i Expect side effects?

 

[OverMachoGrande]

Well most (NOT ALL) people here use the big 3.

1. minoxidil 5% twice daily
2. Propecia (Finasteride) 1mg daily
3. Nizoral (or any Keto based shampoo) 3 times weekly.

As far as sides are concerned, everyone is different. Most people do not experience side effects but there are some who do. If you do experience sides you should stop all meds and consult your doctor.

I did not have sides with any treatments.

i tried rogaine and it did nothing for me,

ill try nizoral too,

any natural supplements that are good?

thnx for all your help btw.

If you´re not too far in your hair loss, propecia alone will probably go along way in mantaining. How long did you use rogaine, by the way?

 

[MARTINSTERN]

i use rogaine for like 3 months at least.

Not trying to highjack the thread just trying to add some insight. I was on finasteride for 3 years and i couldnt tell if it worked, since i had enough hair. I did experience pain in the left testicle, but it would subside. Now my hair is thinning in the front, was thinking of starting again. I dont think finasteride will maintain the hairline, temple area? Dutestride might, but again not sure.

Yeah, I did too...
Looking back, though, I should have stayed on it longer. Usually it takes 12 months for any treatment to really kick in. I´ve read a study saying that rogaine´s effects peaks after two years, then wanes off slowly. So slow, in fact, that users who had used it for like 5 years reported "little or no further loss".

Wow. I guess finasteride maintained better than you thought. I remember I experimented with lower doses, a year and a half ago. No change until almost 9 months, then all of a sudden I started shedding like crazy. Upped the dose, and in three months time the sheddig ceased.
Good luck in regrowing your hairline, it´s the hardest thing to regrow. I say, hit it hard with the big three, maybe even add copper peptides, and only do dutas if notheing else works.

yeah i probably should have used rogaine longer but tbh,its annoying as hell,i got the foam,and had to smear 2 times a day,and it makes ur hair horrible...
