Hi Everyone -
I am a 28 year old male who has never taken any medication in my life, and in good shape. I noticed crown hair thinning in 2008, and read a lot about Minoxidil and Finasteride, but took a while before starting either. I have been using Minoxidil 5% for 17 months - saw results, but then took a break last year and had extreme shedding so started back again for the past 7 months.
After having an unfilled prescription finally started taking 1.25mg of Merck Proscar per day yesterday. I took so long to fill the script because I was terrified of the side effects. Hoping to hear people's realistic experiences with 1.25mg per day and the timeline of expected side effects if any. As well as the results you seen or problems you have experienced.
Considering switching to 0.675mg per day to minimize potential effects as 1mg is recommended for male pattern baldness and I am still taking Saw Palmetto and minoxidil and very early in hair thinning.
Looking for honest and open responses.
Thanks in advance!
