Hi everyone, I’m a 21yrs male who started taking propecia on December 1st. Joined Boots pharmacy hair retention program in the UK and they were awesome! Sat down with a pharmacist who went over my options and took photos of my current hairline which he reckons is still Norwood 1 but is beginning to thin. All I can say it was great to talk to someone about it and he clearly knew a lot about the subject. I have read most of the science on the subject including the effects of dht etc and he explained what I had already researched in great detail. Anyway hopefully this med will have some affect on my hair even if all I do is keep my baseline.
To the users of this site, great to get information on treatments on the big 3 etc some people have been real helpful! However there is way too much negativity out there!! Remember its only hairloss your not dying. Reading on here about people feeling suicidal, moving away from family etc? where’s the fighting sprit? I view this more as a challenge and besides Regaine and Propecia are around 80-90% successful in most people! Side effects appear minimal... few people on here being way to precious. Even if they fail there is always hair transplants etc... try reading Lance Armstrong’s book if you want to read about someone facing up to real problems.
Anyway will check in with progress in 3 months time, keep up the good work everyone we are the lucky ones who are at least being proactive in our hairloss fight!
