Apologies for creating another thread, but I've had a rethink, and the hassles involved with applying Zix or Rogaine on a daily (or twice daily) basis is a little off-putting. Especially when you consider that you can't really come off them for fear that you're going to lose a lot of hair when you do. So, drugs it is then, maybe.
1. What would you regard as being the safest drug available in the UK? I'm tempted by Propecia but some of the side effects sound pretty f**king awful, but also quite rare. I'm maybe/probably/hopefully just about to enter a relationship for the first time in quite a while, and I don't want to f**k it up. I'm guessing I'd notice a lot of the side effects through, umm... regular habbits, as opposed to getting down to it one day, and suddenly finding things aren't working as they should?
2. Is it okay to come off this stuff? As I mentioned above, I know there are treatments that work, but as soon as you stop using them, you're pretty much screwed. I can't emphasise how much I want to avoid this. At the moment my hair is kind of receded, but whether it's getting worse I'm not sure... I really, really don't want to risk using something, and losing hair I could of potentially kept.
Any advice on these issues would be fantastic; I'm very seriously considering getting into this, but don't want to risk messing things up, either in terms of my hair, or with this girl I like and any other girls in the future Thank you!
