Hi Guys,

I am 27 right now and started experiencing male pattern baldness a year ago. Went to a dermatologist and he recommended Fina and minoxidil. I got really bad sides on Fina so i stopped. Minoxidil also caused headaches but they stopped shortly. I continued using Minoxidil for a year and got great gains. Hair became very thick. But since january this year, i have been feeling very fatigued and tired and sleepy all the time. Just to add, i use minoxidil once a day and not twice. I didnt attribute it to minoxidil as i had no side effects earlier. Went to many doctors, did many test, but nothing came up. Also, started getting dark circles and forehead lines despite my sleep being great and me being fit and working out. Also, i started feeling dizzy and a drunk kind of feeling since January. Couldnt concentrate properly and sometimes had difficulty forming words in my mind. I have stopped minoxidil since 2-3 days and i already feel a little better.

I really dont know what to do now. Should i go for PRP or just wait for all my hair to go and get a transplant?

I am uploading pictures of how my hair look as of now. Please advise, guys.

Either take finasteride and min again or go bald. Not much other options, u could try topical finasteride or another topic anti androgen like ru58841 or breezula but i highly suggest u keep in the minoxidil if u go that route.
