Appreciate Your Advice!!!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my story/ post. I am here to ask for advice, educate myself and certainly hoping to receive some recommendations.

I am 29 yrs old. It seems I began balding some years ago but much more noticably within the last two years or so. I find myself thinking about it very often (understatement). Sure, I know there are other things in life more important and I shouldn't let it overwhelm me.... nevermind, who am I kidding, I borderline obssess about this all the time. I'm always in the mirror and when I'm not wearing a hat, always look at peoples eyes to look up there and can tell some just don't say anything, but then, there's your a$$hole friends who have to make a comment and I quite dislike that. I am also in sales and it's hurtin my confidence a bit, and other areas of my life.

I am currently only using Rogaine Foam and Nizoral. No more Propecia for me. I am one of those people who have been severly, negatively affected by it. Please, I don't want to start that arguement/ debate in this thread. I know myself and my body and there has been a major change coinciding with the time I used the drug. But, let's just not go there.

So anyway, now that I've probably lost half the people who opened this thread, I would just like some info about the other products available and what your experiences are with them. I never knew there were so many until just the last few days!

So, now I'm lost with all the choices/ options of products!

It seems some information websites/ forums really push the use of Nizoral. Does this product work as well as those claims? I use it every shower (the whole time), 3-4 times per week. Could it help to fill the void of not using Propecia somewhat?

Can Rogaine work without Propecia, but with Nizoral?

Please take a look at the pictures and tell me what you think I could add to my 2-product regimine. Also, do you think it would be more, or less noticable if it was cut shorter? I'm just scared if I do, it will look so much more thin and all that will be seen is scalp.

Does it look as if I had a sudden Rogaine shed from the pictures dated 7/5 compared to the pictures dated 6/30? Or is it something else or just me...

Are there other products that have a similar effect of Propecia that don't screw with my body? That I can use in place of it? What about Revivogen, Crinagen, folligen? Can they pick up the slack of not using Propecia? <--Main Question

Many thanks!

Unfortunately Rogaine and nizoral are minor help with hair loss. The big guy is propecia which understandably a prescription medication is not something people want to use, but its the only real option so far. None of those other things such as revivogen or crinagen are proven to work but they probably wont make it any worse.
I would use all 3 of the proven treatments you might be able to get some hair back.

I figured that Revivogen, Crinagen, folligen were not as effective but was desperate to try something else out, hoping that some others might have had a positive response before considering finasteride again...

I dont think you will find many success stories for those other products even though plenty of guys try those because they fear the sides of propecia which is understandable. Revivogen or topical spironolactone is better then nothing but they pale in comparison to propecia.
