  1. Thanks for the encouragement, but I've been getting mad bald comments lately by girls. I'm not trying to get married till my mid 30s, so trying to mingle and find great looking women is almost impossible now. When you're in a bar, personality is not most important, law of attraction is, and there are dozens of good looking dudes with hair and a good personality. The only way I can do well is in a Jazz bar where girls are in their 30s.
  2. Wow this is old, I wish I listened to you people when I was younger. Damn propeciahelp.com to hell. Here's my story: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/showthread.php/62293-MGZ-Story-(FIN-1mg-DUT-0-5-once-a-week-Quit-minox-PICTURES)
  3. Yes or Dut, this site requires a prescription? Anyways any other can/american sites
  4. Can someone who has HAD good results please refer me to a site. I was going to go with drmpharmacy.com but the pounds rapes me. Thanks so much!
  5. My regimen, personally I dont think it's too crazy. Morning with breakfast Proscar 1.25 Folic Acid B6 Biotin Multi VItamin Omega 3 Acai Berry with greet tea extract Evening with dinner Omega 3 Multi Vitamin Acai Berry with great tea extract I'm thinking about adding another folic acid and biotin at night. I may also add Dut once-- twice a week, I'm aware it may be pointless since it inhibits both DHT's but think it can help. Thanks!
  6. Several Biotin capsules to choose from, not sure what I should grab.. 1000mcg, 5000mcg, etc Current regimen: 1.25 generic fin from doctor (going to change to proscar for name brand relief lol) Rogaine foam twice daily Omega 3, multi vitamin, green tea, acai berry - twice daily Folic acid, vitamin b6 - once a day Thanks guys
  7. Nobody trusts the FDA fully, they just trust it more than no FDA.
  8. I'm thinking the shampoo, I'm not growing my hair out until after a year and a half on Proscar 1.25mg. Also taking minox daily with nizoral twice a week, so should I just hold off with this stuff? Right now I'm using head and shoulders, but it makes me look even thinner with a shaved head, also when I used to have hair. I was thinking about using Main and Tail. Please link me to a cheap bottle so I can order online, or recommend an everyday shampoo, thanks!
  9. I see all these stories about splitting the pills in quarters, like I'm doing, but no one really mentions if it's by Merk or not. I would love to know, as I started 1.25mg of generic Finasteride 3 days ago. My pharmacist said the ingredients are identical, but then have had other people say that Propecia is better and prescribed by most HT clinics, and that something with way it bonds is more efficient, which is kind of believable since propecia is SPECIFICALLY for hairless, and proscar/generic fin is for prostate. This is what Im taking, prescribed by family doctor and from a reputable laboratory in the Toronto area. It costed around $30 for a 4 month supply (cut in quarters). Propecia 1mg would cost me over $100 a month, which is expensive and worth the price with some hard evidence to making a difference.
  10. Rogaine foam has been alright for the past year, no real results but has maintained. I started minoxidalmax 3 days ago, and an hour after every application I get white flakes that I can easily rub off my scalp with a damp cloth. I have no irritation or redness, it's just flakey, is this a bad sign? I feel like it will kill my follicles, I guess 3 days isn't enough time to tell. Here is a link to what I'm using: Top row, middle Buy 15% minoxidil|10% minoxidil, Your Trusted Supplier I'm currently using this at night and rogaine foam in the morning. Fin 1.25mg every morning as well. I've done some research and apparently this absorbs better than the foam because of the A.acid and P.glycol. Thanks!
  11. I'm trying to find the 2% online but it's very difficult, don't know which site to trust. Also there is cream, shampoo, and generic from both. Not sure if I wan't the brand name CREAM or SHAMPOO? If anyone knows any good pharmacies let me know, or should I get a prescription for the 2% from my family doctor and visit the local pharmacy? Cream or shampoo... hmm. I should add I'm currently about to begin 15% minoxidil after a year on 5% with no sides. One last question about this product, I've read to apply it after using regular shampoo, in my case head and shoulders shampoo/conditioner. After letting it sit, do I rinse with water or shampoo again? Thanks!
  12. Anyone have experience with this product? The site still works in Canada, and I thought the Glycol might be a nice change since regular rogaine foam has given me little results over the past year. Also, I find it weird how with shipping it was under $50, less than rogaine foam. Thanks!
  13. My doctor clearly stated today that there is nothing specific to look for in the body, and that there won't be a difference in 3 months for a follow up. I even asked him about testosterone and estrogen levels and he brushed it off. This seems unacceptable, and I think most family doctors would say the same. In face I went to 2 different doctors and they said the same thing in regards to a follow up. This makes me more nervous about beginning my regimen, incase I do suffer serious side affects. Also, the hair restoration clinic in my area does not provide blood work, and is not a very credible clinic anyway. Not sure I'm willing to drive to Toronto or fly to Rahal in Ottawa to be evaluated just for Finasteride. Please share your experiences, did you all have blood work done before taking Fin? I asked the doctor to just run more tests than I usually have done when I get a physical, hopefully it's enough. thanks!
  14. Hey Anouar, Great results man, I'm also considering Rahal, I'm from Windsor and have really had an eye on his clilnic. Have you noticed a difference in your sex drive while on FIN? Please feel free to visit my thread in "Hair loss Drugs" forum. Trying to build up enough confidence to try the stuff. I read your bio, I also recently broke up with my g/f and my confidence has been digressing. You're a good looking dude, and sometimes men just don't look so hot with a shaved head. Very happy for you. Thanks
  15. I'm asking if HT doc's will still give the procedure knowing the patient is a heavy smoker, it seems counter active and possibly have negative results. It was just a curiosity of mine. Yes I know, terrible habit that I've been battling for quite some time, I've cut down immensely and am going to try to quit before tomorrow, May 1st.
