Ok, so it's come down to me using Propecia.

Hi all, glad to be here. I'm 25, soon to be 26 and have been suffering with losing my hair for some time now (around 4-5 years), however it was on a generally slow level and one that I used Minodoxil for intermitten periods. However, it's now increased within the last 6 months and now I can't even bare to go out the house without a hat on or applying nanofibres now frankly and its making my life a bit of a mess in terms of routine and denting my confidence.

So, it's time to try propecia, simple pill form and see what happens in the next few months towards a year.....fingers crossed huh?!

Anyway, the propecia is on it's way and I've chosen a three-month supply but my main concern is as to when the pill should be taken each day, is there a particular routine or time thats best? I was going to take it just before bedtime in the hope that sleeping on it for 7-8 hours might be better than at the beginning of the day before loading myself with food...

Also, is there any other tips for me whilst on this, such as shampoo's to use etc? I generally use l'oreal for men thickening shampoo or tres-semme shampoo for thinning hair...I take it these will be okay.

Sorry for the rambling by the way, just feel like I'm at a bit of a last-chance saloon here and at the age of 25, it's not where I wanted it to be....

it doesn't matter as long as you take it around the same time each day, so pick whatever time that is for you.

makes no difference day or nite........they suggest taking it at the same time daily so as to develop a routine to guard against missed doses. Food doesn't matter, can be taken with or without food (tho a glass of water is suggested)

oh yeah I forgot.........recommended shampoo is Nizoral 2% (or 1%) two to three times a week. Personally I recommend Head and Shoulders, contains zinc

It doesn't matter but its best to do so you remember to take it. I take mine right away in the am. I always wake up thirsty so its a good time for me to take it.

jeeze, I was told by the Dr and extremely hot, young pharmacist that It works best if taken in the morning each day :dunno:
