Hi Friends,

I am 29 year old and I m loosing my hair at vertex and top.
I noticed it 1 years back and tried some homeopathy but of no use. Loss is not rapid but it’s getting worse (noticeable) day by day.
I want to stop it asap. (if possible re grow to what I was having 1 year back)
I started using Minox 3 months back and feeling little better with thicken hair.
But still afraid of loosing hair, I read here taking propecia along with minox will give better results.
But I found people saying propecia having side effects like sexual and mental; I am in great confusion what to do?
I just want my hair, I couldn’t able to concentrate on my work. I even feel like why to live with out hair?

Pleas suggest me what to do?
Should I go for propecia?
How long these side effects will take to appear, if any? Means, if side effects are there then in how many days we can notice them? And are they referable.
Should I go for any hormone or blood test before taking propecia?

Please….help me.
Thanks in advance.

What ever you decide to use give it at least six months to evaluate whether or not it is of benefit to your loss.
Also life is a lot more than just hair my friend.

HoToStop, Propecia has the best chance nowadays to slow or stop future hair loss. I have had no side effects that I can measure and most people don't. If you start taking it, you don't see any change for atleast 7 months. Hair keeps falling out like usual, then you may start to see less hair on the bathroom floor, but again, it does not start to work for many months and don't miss a dose!!! That's the best starting point for getting a handle on hair loss, and from there you can see where it's going and know if you'll end up getting a hair transplant like most of us do.

Thanks dabuski & its752,

I've no other option.
Lemme try propecia and see will it work for me(with out side effects).

HoToStop, One more thing: Look into/compare the price of Propecia vs. Proscar. I switched to Proscar and I pay with S&H $80.00 for 30 tabs which I cut into fourths with a pill cutter. The last time before that when I ordered Propecia, I dropped like three or four hundred dollars. But look for yourself to be sure.

One more thing friends,

Do i need to consult good doctor before taking Finasteride or is it ok to take prescription from any normal doctor.

- Thanks

HoToStop, I feel certain that a regular doctor will give you a sript. Call ahead just to be sure. Good luck.
