thanks for the help bu what other treatments can i use instead of rogaine and proceica.
I would be good if you could post a picture of you hair/scalp condition so people will know how bad your situation is.
Go and see your doctor about the Propecia he could say it's fine to use.
Propecia should be ok to use in 6 months/a year or so, but being just 18 (or nearly) is putting you right up against the threashold of what would be considered safe.
You can use Rogaine right now with little to worry about in the way of side effects. But rogaine is greasy, can take 2 or three hours to dry and you need to do this twice a day, this has to be kept up for the rest of your life (untill a new medication or proccess hits the market), so Rogaine comes with you on holiday, when you stay at your girlfriends house, when you go fishing/deer hunting in the mountains, when you go on a bussiness trip, when you go to college/prison (delete as applicable) etc etc.
If you stop using it (for whatever reason) you will lose all the hair it has grown, quickly.
That's four hours a day with this stuff drying on your scalp, 4 hours every day, every week, every month, every year for the forseable future (we are at least talking 5 or 10 years).
Whatever regimen you chose you it must fit in with your life.

you know i'm young but i want to stop he problem before it gets worse. So those tablets don't work, sh*t i spent 20 bucks for nothing.
Everyone here gets caught out by a scam or two before they learn the hard facts of what actually works and what does not. I spent good money on some chinese herbal crap in a pink bottle :lol: I rubbed that cat piss/soy sauce combo into my scalp for months with nothing to show but a stained head.

Vitimins are only going to help your hair if your diet is severly deficient in nutrition, which is unlikely.

I see people with thick *** hair and i'm like why the f*** can't i have hair like that but thanks and please help me out.
Well if you sort out a good regimen, eventually including things like Propecia (in the coming months) you have every chance of having kept the mojority of your hair for when things hit the market like hair cloning and improvements to already avaliable treatments like HM, FUE and so on.
A typical regimen would be:
Propecia 1mg once a day
5% Rogaine twice a day
Nizoral shampoo 3 x week
Propecia stops DHT killing your hair follicles.
Rogaine stimulates these poor follicles to grow
Nizoral keeps your scalp healthy and does a little against the DHT
First go see your doctor, second post some pictures up here.
good luck
