The past 3-4months have been terrible! I started a year ago on finasteride and Nizoral. I was just shedding, no way to tell I was losing hair though...but the past few weeks it shows, terribly i am afraid. I am 30 and balding! :( ugg! finasteride just aint cutting it...I am doing minoxidil too now, but...

I'm newly turned 30... Also, is nizoral that important, or is Head and shoulders an acceptable alternative? I don't use min yet because i want to see if finasteride alone will work for a while...when i start showing bald spots then i fit the min. Since t's a once you start you never stop process...

Can we focus on me since i started this topic? :) I guess my question is, what should I expect with finasteride? i am starting to get the bald spot ( not visible yet but i feel a halo of thiner hair around the back of the head) after being on finasteride for 1 year?! thus, is it time to get off?? Please...

Last year I started noticing my hair thining. From this site, I was told it was never to early to start Propecia...even though those close to me said they noticed virtually no change in hair. After 1 year on propecia, (mostly in the past 3 months) I notice more hair loss, thining on the...

Nizoral causes shed? This is news to me...I noticed I am shedding lately. Which makes me ask, what does a shed consist of usually? I mean, how long do they usually last?

Wondering what a good 4th product would be if interested...I'm on big 3 now.

I am using minoxidil on my front mainly as my recede is the big issue...but i am not sure where the original hairline was. Should i be careful? What if you apply it to part of your forehead that never had hair in the first place, will hair grow there??

Probably not much, just need to vent! I started thining 6 months ago and the past 3 months hve atsrted receding...but recently seems more. Not to people, but to me. Have been on propecia and doing minoxidil for one month..i know it's too soon, but what else can i do in the meanwhile? I also do...

The minoxidil bottle (kirkland) i use says "may cause hair color change", anyone ever experience this? That worried me a bit at first.

I just started using minoxidil along with propecia. I use minoxidil only at night now, and only on the front of the hair line, as that seems to be the area in most need, but from what others have said, I will probably start using it all over to help keep the hair i have now? Also, on the minoxidil, it...

How has this worked for you, along with the finasteride? Seems like a very aggressive routine, has it produced good results? How long have you been doing it, etc? I'm a newbie just starting...and also in SF! Thanks!

Thanks for the info! Two questions left, do I need a prescription for the 5% minoxidil? I am headed to the Dr. friday and will get propecia (to start) from him. Also, when people talk of growing hair on here, is it just stuble, or does the hair grow long? I guess I am just young at this...

If you read my last topic from about 2 weeks ago, you would find that my doctor said I shouldn't start propecia yet as i he didn't see male pattern baldness yet. Well, what a difference 2-3 weeks makes! I have zero question now! I have gone through a major shed, with no my hair receeding to a showing point...

How is the proscar working for you? Some have stated on this board that they are stopping it because of side effects. As a 29yr old, of course those side effects concern me! How long have you been on? Has it helped?

Really Bruce? Wow, you have given me hope from some of your posts in here. Can you tell me more about why off finasteride? I am just starting to thin on top and receed a little and so I was considering finasteride as my first step. What do you suggest now? I have no visual signs of losing hair, but i...
