Propecia.. are quick results/thickening possible?

Hey guys, I'm 26 and I posted here about 1.5 months ago about my crown thinning randomly after a haircut, and it became quite visible. I always had fine hair all my life, so maybe that's why it became so visible so quick.
Anyways, for about 1 month now I have been on 1mg Propecia daily and have used Nizoral twice a week. I have noticed that my hair became strong really fast and I can't even pull any hairs out for the life of me now. While before a quick sweep of hair and a few would fall out. Now, from your guys experience and with most of you being these forums longer than I have.. has there ever been a case where a person responded really well to propecia and noticed hair thickening this early in
(1 month mark)? Is it even possible? I'm trying to stay optimistic while trying to be reasonable with how the pill can work at a progressive rate. Please fill me in, maybe I am just excited. :)

P.s. I saw that one 15 month propecia result on that one guy on these forums, but that took some time. Just wondering if people can notice anything 1 month in reasonably speaking, if the hair can even work at a rate that quick.

Thanks all

i had the same experience with propecia. my hair went from straw/frail like to much stronger in a very short time.
i'm not sure if you can see it in this pic but this is the before/after.

Dang, yeah I can definitely see the difference. So there is a chance that it can start working really early then. Unfortunately my hair to start with had visible scalp near the crown so it will take longer no douby. Also, how quick were your results in the photo's listed? And one more thing... like many others, would you advise me to stay on propecia for 1 year to see if it alone helps my situation before adding minixodil ? Thanks again for the quick reply.

the photos are about 5 months apart. i started propecia 2 months after the (before) pic but the increased strength in my hair came rapidly.

minoxidil is a pain in the *** to use at the moment. i started min when my hair was shorter and it wasn't too bad to apply.
i think it depends on the length of your hair / lifestyle. if you want lots of hair on your head in the long run; stick to internals / shampoo treatments if you can.
it is a tough choice whether or not to use it at the start

Ah alright. Well, currently my hair is very short, keeping it well under an inch for the time being. Still, I think I may let propecia do its thing for 6 months to a year before I jump on Min. Just because like others said, if I use both I won't know what's helping and what I can go without. Hoping propecia delivers as I heard it works great for younger people. Hope 26 is still in that category :)
