Ok, I'm not an overly active member on this board as I am on hairlosshelp but I felt that I should post my success story here to help "balance" all the negativity that always haunts these message forums.
I'm 26yrs old and started to noticed an unusual shed Jan. 2002. Of course I was in complete denial and just wrote it off as "stress" and bad living.
By Dec of 2003 I could no longer deny I was loosing my hair. It was hard for me to accept because I always had super thick hair just like my dad who is 52yrs. Everyone always told me I would never go bald with all the hair I had.
Anyhow, I wasnt receding just diffused thinning. More specifically, my hair all over my head was getting thinner and thinner... Even though there was no "bald" areas I went from no scalp showing in direct sunlight even if my hair was wet and combed back to scalp showing in direct sunlight when hair was dry and combed forward.
I jumped on Finasteride (Propecia at the time later switching to Proscar for money) and used it for the last 10months.
Like most men on Finasteride I got no side effects nor did I get a shed. Quite the opposite in fact! My shed rate decreased by half.
I was still loosing ground though (albeit much slower). So I added Zix w/ Azelaic acid and Nizoral 2% shampoo. Within a month my shed stopped 100% and within 2months my hair was looking thick and strong.
I have been able to maintain my results now using 1/4th a tablet of Proscar, Nizoral every third day, and zix once a day to every other day.
This routine has been so effective for me I'm going to grow my hair long and wear it back again.
The reason I am making this post is because I want others to know that treatments **DO** work. So many people here whine and cry about everything under the sun it makes me nausious. A drug that is safe and effective is made to seem as if it will cause you to turn into a sterile, limp dick, mutant with no mind. That is just outrageous!
I am not a unique individual. Granted my end results are also largely due to the fact that I caught my male pattern baldness early and didnt dick around with "natural" remedies and "magic" potions.. However, the fact remains that it was an effective treatment that can give benefit to 80%+ of men. It has an excellent safety profile and side effects are RARE.
