Ok, since I dont have anyhting to report regarding, what is now my official first month on Propecia, I figured I would talk about someone else I know who WAS almost bald. Actually, I am experiencing pains in my nuts at times, but thats another post...

I just learned from a good friend of mine that he has been using Propecia and Rogaine for the last 4 years. The reason this is so shocking to me is, when I saw him he didnt look remotly balding. I mean nothing. He could stand in the bright summer sun and it didnt penatrate his long spiked hair.

What makes this even more shocking is that when I spoke to my sister about him on the phone, she told me that my buddy was losing his hair in the worst way a few years ago and that you could easily see his scalp! She said his head looked like sh*t, to be quite honest with you guys. Now she cant tell that he was balding either! Man, I would have NEVER guessed in a million years that he was almost bald! I dont impress easily either but his hair is looking way better than mine is now.

I spoke to him about side effects. He mentioned the only thing he felt was a decrease in sex drive. Nothing else. No gyno, no watery semen, no dick falling off, etc.

See, there is hope for us balding dudes. We may not get our hair looking as great as my buddies but even half that good is fine by me. The sh*t works!

Propecia, minoxidil and Nizirol. He also said he uses Nioxin because it made his hair feel/look much better. He says he swears by it and anoth guy at my gym says he loves it too.

Best of luck.
I saw it with my own two eyes.

Good news, the fact is, minoxidil & Finasteride (when combined) work very well, with the exception of those with the most severe cased of male pattern baldness. I've had around 15 weeks on minoxidil, and finasteride for just over 6 months & i've made very good progress already!

My only side with finasteride is a slight decrease in sex drive. No sides from minoxidil. :)

Anyone getting the urge to piss all over the place? My bladder has breally been working overtime. I have to take a piss every 2 hours. Must be from the propecia anyone experiencing the same?

Guys, Ive been using finasteride/min/nizoral for almost 5 months now along with Nioxin shampoo & conditioner and my hair is 1000 times better then it was before. I am seeing new regrowth in both my crown and my temples, but what I like the most is how much thicker and healthier my hair is now. It feels so thick and strong, I love it. HOPE IS THERE!!!

Yeah, I have noticed that I have to piss a lot more frequently now that I am taking propecia. Maybe it is because finasteride is also used for the treatment of prostate problems?

I'm not urinating any more then normal. Does this mean the finasteride is not working?!? :freaked2:

Cheers for the positivity. Having a thick head of hair after 4 years of treatment is killer.

No point in arguing opinions boys. Everyone's got one. The statistics show that well over 80% of people see COMPLETE cessation of hair loss and minor regrowth on Propecia Alone. Add Minoxidil to that and you're toying with 100% results of at least something.

There will always be nonresponders.

To the fellow regarding peeing - yes finasteride works a small number on your prostate so you could see some fluctuation in urination patterns. Typically this is temporary.
