    Do You Need A Monthly Prescription For Finasteride?

    Or do you just need it (the written prescription) once and then it automatically refills? I can't buy it over the counter apparently, I can do the referral once but cannot imagine having to pay to go to a hair loss specialist every month to get a refill. The issue being that one needs to stay on...

    Need Some Help- Late 20s, Receding/thinning Badly, Pics

    Where does one get an easy prescription/steady supply of finasteride from? It'd be hard to be referred to a hair specialist by a gen. practitioner and then go every month, for the rest of my life, or risk missing a dose.

    Need Some Help- Late 20s, Receding/thinning Badly, Pics

    This would be the only side effect, maybe some weight loss. Dosage is a bit high tbh. I guess I have to live with it if it's male pattern baldness, just can't tell if I've lost gradually since 2014 or if it all started at once in last six months, which tells me it's the gabapentin. Any opinions...

Pics are in chronological order from 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and today, with a couple of shots of the back of head. Compared to how I look now in...

    Need Some Help- Late 20s, Receding/thinning Badly, Pics

    Going to try the treatments, already on Rogaine although it says to not use for receding hairlines. Don't know if I should apply it "all over" my head to help the patchy thinning spots. Could an of this be caused by a medication called gabapentin? It's an anti-seizure med. This hair loss all...

    Need Some Help- Late 20s, Receding/thinning Badly, Pics

    What parts specifically, like what is the 'tell'? I think I want to determine if it's like Sladewilson said and just a maturing hairline that'll stay where it is before I do anything. That's why I wanted to solicit opinions based on the pics.

    Need Some Help- Late 20s, Receding/thinning Badly, Pics

    Hi, I'm in my late 20's and in just the past six months have noticed really dramatic hair loss. I always had really thick hair, but now I have absolutely no volume and the hairline has just receded horribly. My father and grandfather both had tons of hair so I don't know if this is natural loss...
