Hello,
My name is Simon and i am 20 years old student. I live healthy life do a lot of sports etc...
And here i was thinking life couldnt get any better(just kidding) when i came across pictrue of me and some friends...i couldnt belive my eyes. I was losing hair for certain. It is even more difficult for me because i am known for having "insane" hairstyles. I used to wear dreadlocks for about 2 years and lately i was all into the asian hairstyle(the spikey one). Well untill i figured i can't keep combing my hair over my forehead, because when wind blows(this happens often if u do any sports) the impact of my big forehead is even more devastating. Maby you think i am exaggerating..but you have all been in my situation so you know how disturbing it is. Well i looked up more pictures and i can say that i have been losing hair for past two to three years. In the last year or so I was using vichys dercos aminexil s***... you can guess it didn't help. Well not the way i wanted it to...it did however make my hair stronger i can say that. But today i decided i need to act more directly because i DO have a problem. So i went to doctor and got myself prescription for Propecia 1mg. I am about to take my first pill tonight before i go to sleep. I am adding photos of my current hair state. Any comments, tips, wishes are welcome.

Well here is my update at approximately 3 months on finasteride 1mg, Regaine 2% and B-complex pills =) I can say i have noticed excessive hairloss in the first one and a half months after that i almost completely stopped losing hair. By now there are no hair on my pillow when i wake up and only few hair in the bath after shower. So i can say that the hairloss has been stopped, as for regrowth i did get denser hair on the back of the head in the front there seems to be something going on, but i cannot say for sure at this time. I did get some regrowth in front, but those hair are kinda thin. I would also like to state that my hair are becoming darker on the areas where i use Regaine, not that i care as long as they are there=) So overall i am happy with the results which i am gettin, i only hope that i get more regrowth in front.

you are doing the right thing by taking finasteride.... you might want to also consider minoxidil and nizoral shampoo....

good luck :)

Re: Siamon's story

I was thinking about using only finasteride for about 1 month so i make sure there are no sideeffects...after that i will include minoxidil in my treatment aswell. Or you think i should start on it asap?

you should get the 5% minoxidil it's much more effective than 2% .
you should get nizoral shampoo too . MSM is a good supplement to go with the vitamin c.

Sounds great! Keep up the good work..

One question though.. Why didn't you start earlier? You hairloss seems quite aggressive , you would have had better results if you started earlier , I would think I'd be in the same stage of hairloss as you if I didn't start finasteride at 18.

I can't answer for Siamon, but for me it was an issue of money. I don't know about you guys but I was broke in college.

It wasn't until recently that you could get generic Proscar so cheaply without a prescription.

you can get proscar without prescription? Please more info about that. I am still paying 46€ 1 month supply of propecia, then i pay another 40 for regaine.

@Townsend
I wish i had...
The reason is i used the f**** Vichy Dercos with aminexil for about 1 year before...clearly no results besides softer/stronger hair. But yes, i was aware of the problem and i wish i wasnt such a lazy *** and acted sooner.


EDIT: I think i red it somwhere on this forums, it goes like that: If i had i would get an extra job delivering pizzas, do some casual work etc... It's worth the effort, if the meds help that is!

Hey man,

I don't know much about Dutasteride...so I cannot help you there...though from reading posts on here, it looks pretty intense.

It is my understanding that Finasteride is Finasteride is Finasteride aka...whether you take Propecia, Finpecia, Proscar, Fincar, it is all the same. With Fincar and Proscar, you just need to make sure you take the correct dose that you desire. I cut my Fincar into 5 pieces and take it every day.
