Re: Lain's story - (31 year old Aussie with a NW2)
******** FINAL UPDATE ********
I quit all treatments 3 months ago. (around february 08).
I tought id come and let you guys know what my experience has been after quitting as when I used to come here regulary some people expressed their desires to quit (because they felt treatment did nothing) but were afraid of the consequences.
After being on minoxidil and propecia religiously for over a year and my hair still thinning at the very slow pace it has been for many years, I decided to quit for 4 reasons, possible health benefits of not taking medications (I had no side effects when I was on them), paying for nothing (it was not much, but its still money), it was a slight bother to apply minoxidil for me in the mornings before styling my hair and of course my feeling that it was doing nothing.
If the treatments worked for me I would not mind to put up with it.
Just like when I started treatment I had no sheds or notice any substantial thinning. Yah, hair is still getting worse, but not at any increased rate than before.
Feel free to ask any questions and good luck guys.
