My hair started falling out when I was 14/15. I would shower and lose 50-100 hairs, comb my hair and lose dozens. I really didn't think much of it though, my hair was thick etc, I put it down to stress and ignored it.
It continued though, and when I was 18 was when I really started to look into the problem. I went to visit a doctor during September 2009 (I was 18 at this time), and she refused to give me Propecia because of my age- she told me that my only option was "to go see a councilor if it was getting me down".
March 2010 (now 19), I went to visit a second doctor, who told me that I could use propecia, so I started to use that, and applied Regaine (5%) twice a day.

Was taken at the doctors, with a different camera than the rest of the photos.

There are very very thin hairs growing around the bottom of the temple here. I'm hoping they will grow longer/ thicker. can also see the skin is flakey where the regaine is being used.

Again, can see some small hairs growing at the temple/hairline.

The hair is much thinner on top now than it was 6 months ago, you just cannot see it well here. Will try get some new pics showing this.

It looks alright after I mess around with it I guess, but it still makes me feel so depressed and self conscious.
I have experienced nothing from using the meds so far really. I continue to lose large amounts of hair every day. Some days it does feel like less is falling out, but then others I will still lose many. I've had no side effects either. There are small, thin hairs growing around the hairline/temple area (which is where I use the regaine), but they're very sparse and useless really.
My doctor said within the next 3 months is when most see some benefits, so I'm really hoping to see some changes soon..
