Starting out: propecia or rogaine?

[Ecto1]

Hi all,

I'm 25 and I first noticed my hair thinning about 8 months ago. Mostly on top, both vertex and mid-scalp; hairline in front is fine. I tried Saw Palmetto, it only inflamed my scalp. Now I'm at the point where the thinned hair is noticeable unless I comb it just right.

I want to start using Rogaine, Propecia, or both. Any recommendations for which one to start first? I was hoping to see how well I do on Rogaine for maybe 4 months and then add on Propecia if needed. Or should it be the other way around? Any thoughts?

I agree. Start out with propecia. Supplement with nizoral and (if needed) rogaine later.
But only if it´s needed.

Agree with the above.

And dump the Saw Palmetto. Waste of money.
