Concerns...Need support

[BABA]

Ok I started to notice my receding hairline a few months ago and it is bothering me very much. I went to the Derm and he gave me a rx for propecia which i have yet to fill.

I have read so many stories on here about the horrible shedding period. I work in an office and can't wear a hat to work. MY question is, is all this really worth it over a receding hairline?

Will finasteride even really help my hairline? I have read good success stories but also some bad ones. Any inspiration would help at the moment. I guess I am afriad of a shed and having my receding hairline look so bad people start to actually notice it dramatically. It has been a hard time and i thank you guys on here with all your knowledge.

The main thing is it is mostly my templets that are bad and im not sure oif finasteride will even help and worth the sheds. Would rogain serve my purpose for templets? Thanks guys you all know how hard of a time this is to go through...

From what I understand.. there are no guarantees.. it works for some and not for others. I'd say it really comes down to how desperate you are and whether you are willing to gamble on retaining/ regrowing your hair or in the worst case damaging it even more.

I suggest you try it. I think that most bad-case scenarios are non-responders who blame their aggressive hair loss in finasteride. No offence to anyone I am not sure about this, just how I see it. I strongly believe that finasteride can only do you good, and even if there is a possibility to damage your hair, studies show you have the chances on your side.
