    BIG SHED! REVITA or PROPECIA?

    Same here. I've been using it for three weeks (4-5X per wk) and my hair is thinning and receding faster. MAN I really hope it is because bigger and thicker hair is on the way, or I'm phucked. 36YO - NW2

    Nizorol alone

    I have used nizoral shampoo and creme for 15 years, starting when I was 21, for Seb. Dermatitus and rosacea. I am now 36 and an NW2, heading to a NW3. I only started losing my hair about two years ago. I believe it was the nizoral that held onto my hair over the years. I am now using Super Zix...

    any one went from Norwood 5+ to Norwood 3-

    Nooc... I'm 35 and in the same boat as you are.... the only diff is, I haven't used Propecia yet (have been using Saw P.) and I use Nano instead of minoxidil. I'm a NW2 diffuse and I think I was able to fend-off the progression for a little longer because I've used nizoral for 12 years. However...

    Alphastat- Saw Palmetto/Astaxanthin combo

    It's pretty cheap. I can sit here and watch the hairs continue to fall, or I can add something new. What the heck? I even had some of the same sides as Propecia users, so there must be something to it.

    Alphastat- Saw Palmetto/Astaxanthin combo

    I just ordered this shizzle. Ever since I dropped SP 6 months ago my hairloss has increased. It's the only blocker I have ever used. I guess I shouldn't have dropped it. Now I am using Nano, a multi, and nizoral...we'll see what happens now that I am adding SP again. I lost a full Norwood...

    Shedding of thin/fine hair

    I've been thinning for 3 years now - but quite a bit over the past 12 months. I am losing mostly thin hairs. I think they grow back thinner and thinner till they just don't grow anymore. DEpending on which shed you are on, or what your regimine is, will depend on how long it will keep coming...

    topic treatment for hairloss (seb dermititis)

    nizoral 2-3X week has kept my SD at bay. Be sure to use a little on your face as well. Every once in awhile toss-in a T-Gel/T-Sal 1X week.

    Anyone as crazy as I am?

    I would suggest that those who are suffering from depression take up, or participate in a hobby. Go to the gym constantly, or golf, or poker...whatever! If you are spending your time doing *something* else, then you won't have time to worry. :)

    Thick & strong hair, but still balding??

    The same thing happened to me. I started to receed and used minoxidil and I think it accelerated male pattern baldness. About a year later I went off it and the condition of my hair improved for awhile, but then started to grow-in more and more miniature than before. I realize this is the natural progression of...

    PLEASE BRAINSTORM-HOW TO AVOID/DELAY minoxidil TOLERANCE

    The Mental Side One more benefit of minoxidil would be on the mental side. If you see the hairs growing it does wonders for your confidence, and confidence could equal better results! It's the whole mind over matter thing.

    Prox-n and looking worse.

    Shed Since Nano contains "natural minoxidil" - wouldn't it induce a shed just like regular minoxidil? I suppose there will be folks that use Nano who can comment on this. I plan to use it as soon as it arrives in the mail.

    Advice

    Yeah I think I stayed a 2 from using nizoral for the past 15 years on my face and head. Too bad I had to suffer from skin conditions in the process though, but I still have some hair. lol My hair sure has been going quick the past 2 years though and especially the past year. :(

    Advice

    Thanks guys! I know finasteride is the best choice, but I am truly freaked out with the horror stories. I might go with Dr. Lee's minoxidil without the PPG if the Nano doesn't seem to help.

    Advice

    Howdy! Looking for comments on my regimen. I am 35 and have been shedding for 2 years now. I'd say I am a 2V with a decent hairline, but am thinning and the hairs are getting thin as well. Current regimine: Multivite/Multimineral 2X day Fish/Flax/Borage Oil Caps 1X day...
