Like the others said, I would definitely stick with the Propecia...I have a good friend who's hair really thickened noticably using it...it may also prevent future hair loss. So even if it does not grow more hair, stopping more hair loss is so crucial. Minoxidal may or may not help...you may want to start with propecia for about a year and check the results...if you still aren't satisfied, you can add minoxidol. This way, you know how effective each treatment is. I will say this, Minoxidol is a pain to use, is very messy and have heard that if you stop using it, you may experience a shedding...not sure, but check into it.
