Hi all,
I just happened along this site after thinking about taking dutasteride, and looking for good forums where I can reference people's experience on this drug. It took me a while to decide to post this.
Anywho, getting started:
I am 20 years old, and male pattern baldness runs in the family, on both the mom's and dad's side. My oldest brother, whom I seem to resemble a lot genetically, has become very VERY bald in the past few years.
About a year or two ago, I started to notice that I was having significant amounts of hair left in the shower. After that, I had used minoxidil on and off, with little commitment to it. Sometimes I would notice a reduction in the amount of hair in the shower, and other times I would notice a significant jump. I have since stopped using it, and tried saw palmetto. I am kind of regretting this a bit.
Right now, I am at the initial stages of hairloss, with the M-shaped hairline creeping up higher and higher, as well as thinning at the vertex.
Right now, I am very financially constrained (school is expensive), and have been looking at various generic dutasteride supplements. I want to reduce this problem before it would be frivolous to attempt, so the sooner I get cracking, the better.
Additionally, my father is a pharmacist, whose job is basically to know the newest information about all drugs. So I have a higher than average level of understanding on the subject of pharmaceuticals which I have weaned off of him. Also, I might be fortunate to convince him to write me a prescription. ^_^
Well, that is all that I can think of to say right now.
Thanks to anyone who can propose ideas for what I should do, or even ask me questions.
