I give up

[gotthair44]

I tried fincar for a year, with not much luck. however i died get all the side effects, so i know it was good. Rogaine gave me insane headachs, so i gave that up. Nizoral was ok.

Does this mean i am skrewed. Im 26 years old. :dunno:

No.
Nizoral, if used on a regular almost daily basis could still have a pretty good effect. At the least, it´ll slow things down.
It takes a while longer than propecia or rogaine, but it´s still worth a shot.
The combination revivogen/topical spironolactone is a popular alternative to propecia, but I don´t know how well it works...

it takes 2 years for finasteride to reach its peak, by no luck do you mean you didnt maintain?.

if finasteride doesnt work on him nizoral will just be an anti dandruf shampoo.

ok, i am thinking about going back one finasteride, but i don't think i can handle the rogaine headachs. what about dutasteride? should i mix that in with the finasteride.

dutasteride is stronger than finasteride. so if you already get sides with finasteride, then i dont know how bad dutasteride will affect you. you can always try to see what happens (and get off it immediately if the sides are too bad). or you can try going down the spironolactone route. its a topical anti-androgen, like nizoral. a lot of people who cant handle finasteride use spironolactone. but, be forewarned: spironolactone is mostly good at maintaining and not so good at re-growing

Dealing with sexual side effects with diminish your confidence more than hair loss! If you get sides from finasteride, I would not get back on it.
