Essentially what you're taking is pharmaceutical grade amphetamines to boost your dopamine output to make you feel better about yourself. How is that any different then purchasing amphetamines of the street such as meth to feel great. very similar in structure, all though a lower drug output. Aside from that, the only difference is these drugs are prescribe by professionals, and are medical grade. Surely they must be safe, and beneficial


All these yipees think they need to pop these drugs like skittles to feel good about themselves.


Perhaps my mental fortitude isn't on the same level as other's, but I can assure you not being able to accept yourself doesn't require drugs.


I rely wish people could think outside the box about what they are doing for themselves rather then leaving their judgment in the hands of a 'professional'



go join a gym, communicate, and talk to people. these are ways of naturally boosting your dopamine, and feeling more open minded, and better about yourself.



Make something of yourselves, and you wouldn't be so 'depressed'. :roll:



I was poor, Skinny, bullied, and balding, but guess what I MADE SOMETHING OF MYSELF. I developed an amazing physique, I earned a career in the trades, Fixed my hairloss, and FEEEL great about MYSELF NOW. I laugh at my former self, and the people who put me down because now I'm laughing at them.

Perhaps I could of taken drugs to mask a situation that needed to be faced, but I didn't because that will get you now where. Just a pill poppin druggie with hope, and a dream

Man, I've always been extremely skeptical of these pharmaceutical pills in general. I think they are just pushed upon us to make these large pharmaceutical giants insane amounts of money, despite the fact that many of these pills either do not work and/or can cause serious side effects. I live in the USA, one of only 2 countries in the world where direct company-to-consumer pharma advertising is not illegal. I am watching TV as I type this and within the last 15 minutes, I saw 4 of these types of advertisements, each very slick, transparent, and disingenuous. It literally makes me want to vomit.

Shookwun, I too was once poor, skinny, and bullied. I went to an absolutely terrible high school. Yet I went on a serious weightlifting regimen (something that I keep up to this day) and not only did the bullying stop, but I received incessant compliments about my size, which was a major asset in attracting women. I was poor, yet I went back to school for computer information systems and fixed that so to speak. But unfortunately I cannot find an adequate remedy to fix my hair loss. Unfortunately my hair loss did not stop at an Norwood 2.5 like yours, and finasteride gives me terrible side effects.

And that is why I funded Hellouser's trip to Miami. To let these scientists know that most hair loss sufferers are absolutely clamoring for much better treatments, despite what the other hair loss forum will lead you to believe.

Oh, and let's not forget the special kids with A.D.D who apparently need amphetamines because they can't concentrate, and have a hard time learning.

I was diagnosed with this. Did I take the pills, no? What I lacked was discipline, guidance and routine in my life. That was the culprit towards me failing not a drug that most these yipees cycle on, and off as they please. Eventually they all come off.

I hit my problems head on. I developed routine, and habit which eventually forwarded into me excelling in my studies. I believe it's called initiative not Adderal.
People who lack critical thinking skills are usually the ones who let other's choose their path. 'oh Doctor said I'm depressed because I broke up so he decided to prescribe me zoloft' :innocent:



Did you know the cure for rehabilitation is actually being loved, and cared by someone, not so much attending sessions, and taking copious amounts of drugs. treatment is having someone to look forward to, a reason to be with someone whether it's your family, dog or significant other.

ask her to have laser hair removal in a horseshoe pattern and if she accepts and does it THEN and only THEN they are allowed to say "it's just hair."

she will pull the "it's different, I'm a girl" line but tell her it feels just as crappy when you're a guy.

Possibly the most ridiculous post i've ever read.

Bullsh1t! We have to fight these hypocritical comments HARD!

As bad as it feels for some guys who go bald, there are millions of men walking around bald in a horseshoe pattern, there are not millions of women who have lasered their hair off in a horsehoe pattern. Comparing a natural process with the deliberate removal of hair in an unnatural pattern for a woman is just stupid. Sometimes i think people here need to just get more of a grip on reality and not the depression driven thoughts floating around inside their heads.

I'm not even sure if laser scalp hair removal is a thing?

It's only stupid if the person says hair loss is nothing. If it's nothing, surely they can easily do it, right? Otherwise, they should ****ing agree it's a pretty big deal.

It's like a fat dude saying running a marathon is nothing. You tell it to do it otherwise he's full of ****.

That's the way! There is nothing I hate more than expedient hypocrisy.
Sure, the lazer hair removal for a woman is obviously over the top.

But these hypocrites and lazy/ill informed opinion givers need to be hit hard. Not literally, of course.
And if "hitting hard" means spewing some hyperbole, then so be it.

At least it will likely get their attention.

Strange how some family members are actually making a big deal out of a little thing as taking finasteride. My parents didn't care, they were actually kind of happy I did something against it. Not that they wanted me to do it, they were ok with both accepting or fighting my hair loss.

Did it work for you? Do you feel you're happier now than if you would have been had you just accepted it?

They say the practice of psychiatry is all just an attempt at pathologizing normal human behavior, giving them scientific sounding names and then profiting $$$ dolla dolla billz.

That's been my attitude with my son too. I am worried about the sides--a lot--but in the end, it's his decision.

As far as Norwood One's sister, ask her to have at least half of her hair removed in a diffuse pattern, as that's how most women bald. It shouldn't bother her since there are other women walking around like that, and she won't be the only one, right? The fact is, no matter what bothers those we love (big nose, excessive body hair, e.g.), we should support their decisions to either accept it or try to fix it. We shouldn't be compared to those who aren't (or appear not to be) impacted by their imperfections, and we shouldn't be judged either. I don't think it's wrong for her to be concerned about the possible side effects. However, cosmetics, shampoos, lotions, perfumes, etc., contain possible carcinogens too, and I'm sure knowing that wouldn't stop her from using them.

Did it work for you? Do you feel you're happier now than if you would have been had you just accepted it?

Tough question. I am kind of a strange case due the fact that, next to male pattern baldness, I also had to deal with Acquired Progessive Kinking of Hair. Finasteride has improved my hair. I am still losing hair, but very slowly.

I guess I am happier, at least I can cut my hair short and it looks okay.

Accepting it, in my case would have meant shaving/buzzing my head at the age 21 (those kinky hairs are NOT what you want on your head, it looks hideous), that is just something I cannot accept.
