On Propecia for a year and a half. Rogaine since Oct 02

and damn it I didn't think i would be back here looking for another solution so quickly, but anyways here I am. I had great success with minoxidil for about 8 months and then started sheding and decided to pick up Propecia. So far I don't believe it has helped as my hairloss is getting worse quickly, and am thinking about adding Xandrox15 from Dr. Lee. Does any one know how long it usually takes to go through the whole process. . of getting a consultation and then your shipment?

ohh, and just my opinion. . .but I truly believe that there are a lot more people that have had success with their hairloss regime but don't come back here to post (which is a shame) because I was one of them. . . I used to lurk this website obsessively when I first noticed my hairloss and then once I had some success I totally abandonned it. I just felt like it was such a relief to not have hairloss on my mind constantly. . .my hair looked good and I was finally able to enjoy life and face the world feeling like I looked my best. . .and I sure as hell didn't want to come back and be depressed by other's peoples struggles. . .but all good things come to an end and here I am. This time though I'll stick around and let others know if i have some success with XAndrox. .maybe it will bring me good karma to give some feedback and help others with their hairloss struggles.

cool.. that gave me some hope...

how much did the minoxidil do for you? maintaining or also regrowth? and were on the scalp?

I had pretty bad recession at the temples. . and a tiny bit of thinning in the back, and it really filled in the balding spots well . .and my hair felt stronger and fuller. I got back the natural curl, that I didn't have since I was about 16 or 17. but like i said it was amazing for about 6 to 8 months than I started to shed. . and jumped on Propecia, which i have been on for the last 1 year and 4 months. i think all in all if i look back to where I was when I started my regime in Oct 02. I would say I've maintained slighlty the same hair count. ..maybe a little bit less. . .you know how it goes. . one day it looks better. . next day looks like sh*t.. and on and on.

ok.. did you fill in on your temples to??

and did you have any sides for the finasteride ?? and what dose did you use?

I think i filled in my temples pretty decently, but my biggest gain or noticible difference was the crown of my head. . it got really thick. Intially I had a lot of small velus hairs sprout up all over in the temple area. they are still there, but I've lost the overall thickness everywhere else. I guess now I'm a diffuse thinner. . before I just had recession.

I've been taking 1 mg daily of the propecia since Feb 04. . .and I don't think its done much for me. . it surely hasn't worked as well the minoxidil initially.

As far as side effects. . minoxidil: dry scalp, flaking, a little bit of itching, but nizoral helps with that

no noticable side effects from Propecia.
