I'm screwed arnt i.

C'mon jeff! You've been on propecia for 5months? You need to wait a year to make that comment.
You started treatment early - so you set yourself up for a better chance at success. Stressing over it and thinking about it too much can make things worse.
EDIT: Read one of the latest success stories, the guy was shedding so bad that his t-shirt had hundreds of hairs on it each day. He toughed it out and stuck with treatment and had great results after the 1year mark.

well you'd think that you'd see the slightest improvement in the amount of hair lost by now. seems to be getting worse, not better.

Jeff get out of the house and go do something. It probably will come back, with fervor, but like another poster said - you're making matters worse for yourself.
If you knew that stressing out so much about your hair made it fall out faster, would you quit? Perhaps it is?

i have about as much hair as you do. diffuse thinning ALL over.. including sides like you mentioned. longer hair does look real bad. keep the sides short at least and for styling use a 'styling gum'. then tend to add volume. in my case i cant style my hair using any product, my hair is just so thin in diameter it'll stick to my head and i look sick with short here, might as well be bald so its not an option for me.
on my 7th month now, and no decrease in daily hairloss. getting thinner and thinner.
i'd advice you throw in msm into your regimine. it wont help with your hairloss but whatever regrowth you might have will definitely grow in faster with its help. msm is pretty much the only thing in my regimine i'd swear by. my hair just wasnt growing before i took it.

show us some pics of the top of your head dry without any gel or styling products.
I've only seen pics of the front of your head and it honeslty doesn't look all that bad at all.

Jeffss,
First piece of advice: You've been on propecia way to short of a time to see any progress. Why? Because each hair cycle takes much more than 5 months. They thin hairs you are finding in your comb were thin before you popped your first pill. Give it time. Things will get worse before they get better.
Second piece of advice: Either propecia will work and you hair will all grow back and remain on your head forever or you will be bald in two years. The only thing certain is that you have hair right now, so take advantage of it and go live your life.

re:
Jeff - Grow up. You can't deal with male pattern baldness, how are you going to deal with all the other dissappointments in life? Gain some perspective and give us all a break. You need some tough love.
Rest of HairLossTalk.com - Stop pandering. Remember the obnoxious needy kid in middle school who only acted like an idiot because everyone laughed at him and gave him attention. Well Jeff is constantly in need of attention and you are all pandering. I would have more pity if this was an isolated thred but this situation has gone on too long and must stop.
Jeff, it sucks having male pattern baldness but it is not going anywhere. finasteride may help a little but you will most likely eventually be bald. Deal with it. Stop obsessing, take your finasteride, hope for the best and goddam it move on.............at least post your pity party threads somewhere else.
What am I kidding, threds like this will never stop. The real question is why did I just waste my time writing this?

re:
"That isn't tough love. "Most most likely will eventually be bald."" Not
What the hell is meant by that statement, not to mention you take my words totally out of context which pisses me off. If you are refering to some sort of idea that finasteride is going to save everyone's hair for life, that is just not the case. Anyone who thinks finasteride is going to turn the clock back 10 years may be devastated if they set expectations that are too high. finasteride effects everyone in different ways with variable results and people need to accept that fact.
Every study I have read indicates that a best case has you hit a "peak" increase in hair count (I think around year 3) and then have a slow decrease from there on out. This does not even account for the men who just maintain (no hair count increase) or those who have no results from finasteride. The point I was making is that finasteride is simply a tool that has proven to at least give us a chance at either growing back a small amount of hair, slow down male pattern baldness or maintain what we have. For me, maintaining what I have would be the greatest thing on earth, but the same cannot be said for all.
We have a guy here (Jeff) who is an emotional wreck from his male pattern baldness and he not only has to come to grips with the fact that he has male pattern baldness but that even with treatment he may still be bald in five years. That is tough love at its finest.

Re: re:
You have made the mistake of assuming everybody deals with male pattern baldness the same. Different people have different emotional responses to different situations. Clearly male pattern baldness is a major issuse for jeffsss, but something that jeffsss may see as trivial may seem a big deal to you. Everybody response to situations differently. Your post wasnt "tough love" it was ignorance.

re:
I totally disagree and here is why. First off:
from websters, ignorance = lack of knowledge
Well, I have been reading Jeff's post for a long time know and it is the same pathetic posts over and over again. My reply was directed at him and based on a knowledge of how I have coped with my hairloss at a young age, talking with others about dealing with their hairloss and reading the countless posts from Jeff that are totally rediculous.
Are we to continue pandering and saying "it will be ok Jeffy". This is a grown man who has to start acting like it. Most of us experience certain degree(s) of depression/anxiety over our hairloss, why else would we be taking medicine to fight it, but this dude is on another level. For months now there are posts from him that are just totally nuts. I am a liberal democrat who has pity for most people who are suffering but I feel that too many are pandering to Jeff.
At what point do you say enough is enough? We have to put some sort of expectations out there. Long ago, if someone gave Jeff some tough love then he could now have had the strength to deal with his male pattern baldness. However, as this is an open forum, I expressed my opinion on this matter and feel as if many others on this site would agree with me. I do pity Jeff, myself and all others who are learning to cope with their insecurities but I am certainly not ignorant.
Brit, I believe you have only been around for a few months. I have been posting and/or reading this site for about 1.5 years and in that time there have been a few isolated posters who are clearly crazy and eventually get kicked out or go elsewhere. You watch, unless there is a change, Jeff will soon be joining that group.

My only beef is the fact that he has been reading these forums and its emphasized in this community that you need to wait a full year to make a legit assumption on whether treatment are working or not.
I believe Jeff said venting on here is his way of dealing with the depression/anxiety over his hair loss. And I know that some people are just naturally more vocal about things and tend to blurt out whatevers in their mind instead of keeping it there, so I give him some slack when it comes to the panic-posts. Although I wish he would be more positive about treatment, for the sake of the new members who show up on this forum.

I apologize for posting about this, I am done with trying to empower people about male pattern baldness. I apologize to those who have wasted their time reading this and to those who were frustrated by my remarks. I will only talk male pattern baldness science from here on out.
