Hi Guys,
I have been lurking around these forums for around 5 months now and i have been taking propecia since 15/11/2007. I am 22.5 years old- started losing hair around 18- hair gone thinner, receeded alot and crown is thinning. It has been around 4.5 months, I wanted to post at 12 months but decided to ask your opinion on a couple of things:
Regime: 1.25mg propecia daily, Nizoral 1mg 3x Times a Week-
Family History: Dad- Massive Recession in mid-late 20's prob NW3 then held onto it... He's 60, thinning on crown but is not slick bald, just looks like recession. He's done well considering he receeded early
Grandfather on Mums side- Slick bald by 30. I believe he was diffuse thinner, not to certain.
Anyways my genetic fate is sealed- balding on both sides- depends on severity.
I believe I can see new growth on temples- its exciting, pictures I believe however do not show much difference if any!
My main problem is the following: Since 1.5 months ago I have been experiencing difficulty to achieve erection and libido problems. I am open minded, and believe that these did not occur in the first three months. Please do not tell me it is in my mind. My question to you guys is this: Is it ok to stop for 2 weeks to see if sides disappear? Or is it better to reduce the dose to say .5mg (I dont mind paying for normal propecia and cutting it). The third option is to drop it totally and thats up to me but i'd rather get your opinion for the first two questions:
Here is a pictoral diary:
4 years ago (18-19)
Baseline (Before Propecia)
Month 2 (Propecia)
Month 4 (Propecia)
All comments welcomed
It's a bummer that I am having sides because I dont mind propecia at all. Would like to keep going but consider my sexual future more important.
