    starting to learn on hair pieces

    Check this out mate. http://www.toplace.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=168 Toplace's forums are spectacular, and that particular thread is everything a newbie would want to know.

    Yup. It's all about a well done lace hairpiece I think, that's the best way to solve this problem. There's a place in Toronto called New Roots -- they have extraordinary pieces there.. similar to JA. They can do European hair, and there's something about their lace and attachment methods that...

    Ha, you might think I'm kidding, but I'm stunned at what can be done with lace hairpieces now days. Gonna get me a souped up one, and move on. Obsessing about hair loss sucks. Either go bald, or get a piece, is my new mantra.

    This thread hijacking has annoyed me so much that I'm giving up on everything and buying a wig.

    I must say I agree with Petchsky, Route 66, while I admire your passion on the subject, I don't quite understand how you can be so certain about this stuff. If hair loss is still uncured, it means we don't know everything about it, plain and simple. Which makes any matter-of-fact assertion...

    Petchsky -- I'm not sure if DIM would help with the mental side effects though, probably just sexual side effects, which I didn't seem to have. Route66 -- I agree that if Panic attacks start happening again, I will certainly be going off the stuff. Though there is a good chance that initially...

    I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that a hair loss forum would be filled with cynics. I've been there too. But I'm not givin' up, god damn it. Thanks to the poster regarding panic attacks. Yes, I agree, it's the worst thing in the world. But I'm quite certain that it was due to an overload of...

    Re: Scot's Fancy New Regimin. Follow my story if ya like. Are you a scientist? You're right about one thing -- they'll make me healthier. And if any of my loss is not related to genetics (which I think is more than likely), I think it will create an optimal environment for hair health, at the...

    Hey all. You might have seen me posting about my mental side effects from 1mg of Propecia, my questions about getting a hair transplant, etc. Well, after speaking with Joe over at Hasson and Wong, it seems they don't really want to operate on me unless i can stabilize the loss first. I...

    A trillion fears about taking the hair transplant Plunge. Please help me!

    I'm doing Nizoral. And I'm 90% decided on trying to do 0.25mg of Propecia. I'm just waiting for a few more success stories on removing sides with lower dosage, before I pull the trigger.

    Propecia mental effects

    Hey Joe, I'd really recommend cutting it into quarters and trying 0.25 EVERY DAY, from my research, it's more important to keep a steady flow in your system. Please do keep me posted on how this ends up working for you. If you avoid side effects, that's a majorly important thing to communicate...

    Propecia mental effects

    I haven't tried it yet (i'm nevous about it). Did you have side effects at 1mg, and ahve you avoided them with 0.25?

    Propecia mental effects

    The mental effects of propecia *are* real. I suffered from serious effects a few years ago, and without a warning on the box of pills, i never connected the two, and continued right on taking it. However, there is also the chance that this could all be a pre-existing condition, or all in your...

    Off Propecia after 4 1/2 weeks

    That might be the nail in the coffin in convincing me to try a lower dose. Though i think i'll start at 0.25 and ramp up to 0.5. How did you manage to get 6.25mg? That seems like an uneven pill split?
