Hi everyone, im new in this forum. First off i would like to say, though my hairloss is relatively minimal and started just a few months ago, it affected me greatly as im very very vain and hair is of utmost importance to me. It happened one day while i was checking my hair out in the mirror that I discovered my crown is balding, i could actually see a lot of scalp and also the mid head area is thinning out a lot. That explains why i cant style my hair as i wanted nowadays. It affected me a lot, and i spent more than 4 hours sitting in front of the mirror trying to convince myself it's not happening. Finally i accepted it and started to go on a frenzy reading on hairloss forums and what should be done regarding my problem. Once again i must stress my condition is at a very early stage so i still have lots of hair, therefore please dont flame me or something cause i see that happening in other posts( i just wanted to ask a few questions and share where i bought my products )
Questions:
-I have yet to start on finasteride, i'm actually getting 3 months of propecia sent to me soon. I was just wondering would the custom officers check whats inside and have it thrown away because it's a drug only available via prescription? It costs quite a lot ($50++) per bottle. I only ordered 3 mths worth as i dont wanna risk having all of them confiscated.
-Also, shipping costs to canada would cost a lot. (EG nanogen $27-29, shipping $21.99, and thats USD). Is there any place i could order nanogen or dermmatch for a reasonable price and minimal shipping costs? I'd checked a lot of sites via goggle and most give $18-$22 for shipping , that alone costs about 3/4 of the item itself, it's way too expensive and I'm still a student.
-Where could i get cheaper finasteride in my area?
-Does generic ones work as well?
-I only notice hair falling out when im showering, when i wake up in the morning there's no hair on my pillow and dont really drop hair when my hair's dry but once i hit the shower, especially when using nizoral, i lose a lot of hair, every run through would end up with 3-5 on each hand... Is this normal?
I would be starting on this regime once i get my finasteride... ( do comment )
-1mg finasteride/day
-nizoral2% 3x/week (im current using that as i could purchase it in-store)
-Aveda pure abundance shampoo and conditioner
-dermmatch and nanogen (website says go a shade darker for dermmatch but the long time experts here says to go a shade lighter so i dont really know what to get now -_-!!
I wont be using minoxidil for a while unless condition gets worse as im scared of the shed and i dont want to depend on 2 products everyday for life (finasteride and minoxidil)
Btw, anyone who's living in vancouver or near and wants to get AVEDA, toppik, nizoral, nioxin i could direct them. It's much cheaper to get instore and it saves a lot of trouble..
AVEDA pure abundance - got mine at lougheed mall but i know you can get it downtown or at metrotown too
nizoral 2% - london drugs (no prescription needed)
toppik - facove.ca ( their in-store shop is in vancouver itself )
nioxin( again lougheed mall, metrotown and downtown )
would appreciate any input, especially one on getting cheaper finasteride, preferably in-store in canada, and what brand to get, there's simply too many generics out there
