I have maybe missed around a total of 3 days over the course of the 8 months of use.

I have just started biotin, so the effects are hard to gauge at this stage.

I thought about taking saw palmetto, but figured whats the point if I am currently using a clinically successful anti-androgen like finasteride?

I use Revita every day, yes. DS labratories recommend using Revita at least 5 times a week for achieving optimal results.

Sorry to hear that if true, but sounds like it may be exaggerated a bit IMO.

What reason would I have to exaggerate? I am only divulging information about a case that I understand to be 100% true.

Take it or leave it, pal.

My brother had a hair transplant at your age. He didnt go on finasteride. He ended up losing ALL his hair.

Even his transplanted hair.

Food for thought.

Do you take any steriods? If so, that would definitely be a contributing factor.

I recommend finasteride, it is by far the best hairloss drug out there. My only regret was not getting on it years ago when I first noticed thinning. I too was scared sh*tless because of the side effect horror stories. My hair would be WAY better of if I hadnt been put off by hearsay and slander touted by internet snake oil salesmen.

I havent experienced any side effects.

If you are one of the unlucky 2% - yes, thats right ONLY 2% - of people who suffer from side effects, then discontinue. At least you can always say you gave it a try.

Taking propecia is for life? if I stop taking propecia will the regrown hair be lost? Thx

According to Merck's official website, if you stop taking propecia, you'll lose the regrown hair as well as the hair you saved within a year of stopping.

I've been on the big 3 now for 8 months, and over the course I hadn't experienced any noticeable shedding, ...that was, until, just last week when I added Revita to my regimen. Since then, the amount of hair I am now losing in the shower and on the comb is more than I've ever known.

Prior to switching to Revita on a daily basis, I'd been using Nizoral (2%) twice weekly.

It just seems weird that a shed would come about this late in the game.... Is it caused by Revita? Did the Revita trigger the other big 2 into action? Usually when I hear about shedding, it seems as though it happens to people within the first few weeks or couple of months of starting meds. I've never heard of a shed happening this late in the game.

Has anybody else heard of cases like this?

Should I discontinue the Revita or ride it out? Does shedding after just a week of Revita mean that it's more effective than finasteride and minoxidil?

I just hope I am not losing more ground. At times this hairloss prevention treatment seems like 2 steps forward and 1 step back.

I never knew the 1% was off the market. There was never an apparent shortage in my neck of the woods.

Anyway, I use revita every day except tuesdays and fridays when I use nizoral 2% ketoconazole.

Does nicely.

Nice Jamie Foxx job.

Biotin is supposed to help. I'm not entirely sure about the mechanism of action.

"Biotin has been shown to

regrow hair and even reverse premature

graying."

"Studies with biotin supplementation of

500 mg a day have shown results in hair

restoration and reversal of hair graying."

Taken from an article about Biotin from the Natural News website.

If i felt that taking finasteride (propecia/proscar) brought on sexual side effects in any way, shape or form, then I would personally discontinue immediately. But I've been on the drug for nearly 8 months now and I havent experienced any of these side effects.

Long may it continue.

But unfortunately I dont qualify for that 20% discount.

Even if I HAD 200 posts to my name, the overwhelming majority of them would still be unhelpful. :-P

Concealers are not practical for me. I live in a tropical country with soaring heat and humidity all year round. On top of that I ride around on a motorcycle with a helmet on. I dont want to end up like Jason Alexander in "Shallow Hal".

I just ordered a bottle of this. Pretty pricey at 300,000 Indonesian Rupiah.

If it helps with my regimen and the bottle has good mileage, then it's money well spent.

Been using Nizoral twice a week. I like how it leaves my hair feeling full and easy to style.

Havent tried any of the other ketoconazole shampoos yet.

I would like to give regenepure a go, but it's helluva difficult to get a hold of. The bloke from the hairlossfromsteroids highly recommends it.

I've just ordered Revita, which is pretty expensive. So I hope it's worth it.

Do any of your shampoos contain ketoconazole?

You should get on finasteride. When I went on it my loss slowed to a stop. Try if for a while and if you dont get any sides then it will really help. Go to your doctor and check it out. Do this before you get any ideas for a HT.

That would be my suggestion too.

Young looking hair.... First World Problems.... lol

Haha.

I feel bad at times worrying about my hair when I think about people who dont even know where their next meal is coming from.

Puts our problems into perspective.

He seems genuine. If he is just promoting scalpmed alone, why bother mentioning the various other products he uses on top of scalpmed?

He also says he uses a silica suplement. Has anyone here included silica in their regimen? Did it produce any results?

I like how this guy went from a cueball to a furball in 4 months.

If his case is real, it means that hairline restoration is possible without the need of surgery.

Nice barnet buddy. Top result. You dont need another HT in my opinion.
