  1. I know there is a clear division of views on the issue of propecia, but I'm happy to say I really feel comfortable going bald rather than risking its sides. but I have to say I am quite surprised to see how easily you guys direct others to a potentially life wrecking medicine. considering that people who come here are often quite vulnerable, I think everyone should exercise some caution in providing such advice without any reservation. in the end, it's easy to risk someone elses wellbeing.
  2. Reading this dissuaded me from getting involved in Propecia. It's too high a risk to take in my humble opinion. Propecia Lawsuit - File a Propecia Side Effects Lawsuit
  3. Hey FUE2014 thanks for the reply! I really don't want to get in the bed with finasteride. I tend to have side effects from everything as can be seen from my extreme reaction to minoxidil. I just don't care about my hair as much as to risk my well being in general. Just as I would be pissed off if I had a transplant and the transplanted hair ended up falling off, I would, in fact, be even more pissed off if .I took this pill and the side effects persisted for a long time. The testimonials and the facts of the law suits against Propecia seem to indicate that there is a real possibility that this might happen. I think the best course of action for me to wait for couple of years to see if my hair loss stabilizes and if so consider a transplant. Otherwise I'll just buzz it off. Thanks again for the sobering replies tough Peace
  4. Hey gillenator, I'm sorry if I came across wrong. I'm not offended or anything, it's just difficult to hear that there is no way out from this thing! I'll take your advise and wait to see how it will go. Let's just hope that miracle cure comes around in the meanwhile I suppose again thanks for the input, cheers!
  5. Wow, that was a slap in the face... Not much to do other than waiting and seeing I guess Thanks for the reply!
  6. Hey guys, I literally just became a member to the site. I have been following it for a while and I find all your comments very helpful. So would like to thank you all in advance for that! My situation is the following: I am almost 26 years old, have been noticing hairloss for the past 4-5 years but became really noticable in the last 2 years I would say, especially when I wear my hair short. I gave Rogaine foam and other brands of minoxidil a shot, but I all I got was an instant inflammation of the scalp. I have a mild case of seborrehic dermatitis on my scalp, which I can treat with medical shampoos, but I guess minoxidil is just too much for my scalp to handle. I do not consider using finasteride due to the number of horror stories I've heard. I just don't feel comfortable with messing with my hormones for hair growth to be honest. I have been using Keratin and Collagen booster pills of the brand Reserveage for couple of months and started drinking and doing green tea rinse on my scalp every evening. I am also using the Zenagen shampoo once every three or two days. Not that I think any of these will help greatly, but the feeling of doing something about my hair loss helps me cope better I have contacted Dr Hakan Doganay (I am Turkish myself) and asked for some advice from him. He said that I should wait 2 years or so before considering a hair transplant. My main issue is with my vertex, which is in a quite bad stage I guess. I am afraid the thinning have spread to my donor area as well as you can see from the pictures which is slightly worrying. What do you guys think? ps: These pictures are almost 10 days after I had shaved my hair down to 2 mm.
