I don't measure it exactly anymore so maybe that explains the lack of results. I'd use approximately 80mg daily. Yes, I order through Anagen. No problems but they're a bit slow. If you can estimate when you're close to running out it's best to order well in advance.

I've been using RU for almost 2 years. It definitely does something because I notice a huge change in shedding. At first daily shedding drops off to almost nothing. Barely a dozen hairs a day. Then after 4-6 months I get a huge shed where it feels like I'm going to lose it all overnight. It then...

Again it's been a long time since I last posted but I wanted to make a quick update. A lot of people read this forum and I want this to be completely truthful. In my post above I think I understated the sexual sides of finasteride. Last year I stopped taking finasteride for about 6 months. I ran out...

finasteride has a short half life but DHT has a slow production and turnover. There is a graph out there from one of the journals a while back showing that a single dose of finasteride kept DHT levels lowered for days. As far as I know there are no clinical trials comparing finasteride daily to every other day so...

It's been about 4 years now since I started posting on this forum and began taking finasteride. I'm very happy with the results. The panic, terror and humilation I felt at losing my hair is all a distant memory that almost seems silly now. Four years on my hair is still much thicker than when I...

There's Hair-A-Gain (5% Minoxidil) 4x60ml for $90 at epharmacy.com.au which isn't bad compared to $130 for 3x60ml Regaine.

I'm sorry, I didn't read the whole thread and I hope I'm not too late. Mate, stay away from A&M. Your first impressions were correct. You simply cannot trust them. By all means get a second opinion, but have your GP refer you to a dermatologist. Don't go back to A&M, Advanced Hair or any of the...

Oops, hairsucks already posted this. Sorry.

Over on regrowth.com they dicussed an article that showed topical garlic might help treat alopecia areata. Not the same thing I know, but still kind of interesting. http://www.regrowth.com/hairloss-forums ... =5&t=18637 There was also some discussion somewhere (maybe it was here, sorry I can't...

I think sometimes people forget that you can lose a lot of hair very quickly. There is an inclination to blame treatments in these cases but unfortunately it can just happen. You know how you hear that someone 'went bald overnight?' Well, it probably can't happen that fast but you get the idea...

I don't know for sure but yes, there is certainly a possibility that ultracarbon will prevent your propecia from being fully taken up. The good news is that you don't have to worry about missing one or two days of propecia. It won't make any real difference. Personally though I wouldn't...

I guess I'd prefer it if agencies that regulated medication had a more advisory role. I am glad that they exist and I appreciate their guidance but I don't believe their recommendations should be binding.

Personally, I agree with you. Providing they're honest about what they currently know about the product, they should be able to release it if it's safe. I think we should be able to make a choice to try something that may not work if we want to. The point above is fair, that it might not be...

Yeah, a second opinion is definitely the way to go. Good luck.

Yeah, it's a small sample size. It's also not randomized or controlled and obviously not blind. It certainly doesn't inspire me to go out and spend $600 on one. But then when you consider that these things can be cheaply made at home, maybe it's worth trying as an experimental treatment. ----...
