Started propecia about two weeks ago. I have always had a mature hairline since my mid teens which really worried me. Now that I'm 28 I have notice my hairline slowly receeding a bit. It has probably been doing so the last several years. Anyway, I went to a derm. and got a script for propecia. My question is, should I add something else to the regimen? The good thing about my hair is that is very thick, and I am not thinning anywhere else. I'm wondering if there is another product that my help, or should I stick with just propecia for now.

well if your hair is thick, you don't need rogaine, though 1/4 mL twice a day would be needed as part of a regimen to regrow your hair line.
If your hair starts thinning more even on propecia, switch to dutasteride and add an SOD. I would use folligen because it is very cheap when diluted.

What do you dilute your folligen with?
I dilute my folligen with tap water.
Apply minoxidil to areas you want big improvement in. If you are happy with an area, or it is close enough to good that propecia might regrow it, then wait on the minoxidil. Minoxidil regrows more hair than propecia. Both strengths do. Bryan wrote and article on it, quoting different studies. He and I even posted about it recently. It is little known, but minoxidil is strong. It just does not maintain your hair. You get a lot of hair fast, and continue to bald just as fast. You need propecia to stop the balding and regrow some hair.
Minoxidil does not grow a lot of hair, but about 50% more hair than propecia does, concentrated in a smaller section of the population, though I'm not sure on that last part.
