    Am I Going Bald? / What Are My Options?

    A year and a half later... I've taken Avodart and used Minoxidil every day since my last post. What do you guys think? Better or worse?

    Am I Going Bald? / What Are My Options?

    Hi, things were going really well on the Dutasteride/Minoxdil 5% and my hairdress even commented how thick my hair had become (not knowing I was on anything)...until about a month ago when I began shedding a very large amount. My hairline is now at it the worst it's ever been. I did experience...

    Am I Going Bald? / What Are My Options?

    Hi, It's been almost 2 months since I started Avodart, Minoxidil and Nizoral shampoo. This is my hair when I started. This is it now. Has it got worse? Should I be worried?

    OK, I'm about 5 days in. My hair is starting to shed quite a bit, if I stroke my head I'll have 10+ hairs on my hand each time. Is this a good sign?

    Am I Going Bald? / What Are My Options?

    Am I Going Bald? / What Are My Options?

    Just for comparison, I can get Avodart for £20 for a month's worth of tablets...cheapest for propecia is £49. It says somewhere on the internet, you can't get it on the NHS, which defeats the purpose of my doctor refusing to give me a prescription for it even if he was dead set against me...

    Am I Going Bald? / What Are My Options?

    Hi, I saw my doctor. He initially wasn't going to prescribe any of the three but after some pushing he prescribed Minoxidil in the form of Regaine for Men 5%. He warned me it would affect my blood pressure though so to be careful. He would not prescribe finasteride/propecia as it would...

    Am I Going Bald? / What Are My Options?

    I've had an online consultation this morning with Pharmacist and they recommended "Avodart (Dutasteride)" instead of Propecia (finasteride)...which should I use?

    Am I Going Bald? / What Are My Options?

    Hi, Firstly I should mention my Granddad was completely bald apart from the sides at aged 22. I am almost 27. My Great Granddad on my Grandma's side had a high hairline from an early age but a full head of hair when he died aged 92. I do not know my biological father. My original hairdresser...
