  1. Not reading a single sentence until OP posts photo's and a dr. name. until then fukc off for trolling. Or if this is real go do some research
  2. I also think he should be on fin. But i'm guessing what happened is that he tried it out and got side effects. So he just decided to take the shot and get a HT regardless
  3. I am on fiinastiride for 7-8 months. I had sleeping issues from months 3-5 while o the drug. I thought the same thing that fin was causing my sleep issues. Turns out it wasn't. Around the 3rd month I was reading stories online about how evil fin is and it scared me shitless. That combined with the loss of my grandparent, I was depressed. 3 months after I found my sleep again. I still have sleep issues sometimes but I think that's with my depression and anxiety. I would recomend getting on ZMA, melatonin, and L-Arginine. (srs) Sleep issues are more rare than ED issues. and if you do get sleep issues it could be to due anxiety of the drug fin (reading stories online)
  4. I'm currently 23 years old. I want a HT but not anytime soon. I'm currently a Norwood 2. I've been on finastiride for 7-8 months and have seen my hair stop receding. I'm going to wait 3-5 years to see if finastiride stops hair loss or slows it down. Might move to dutriside if finastiride doesn't do the job. I was thinking about staying on finastiride/dut for 3-5 years before considering a hair transplant. If Fin/dut halts my hair loss than I would get a hair transplant but if it doesn't the I'd wait a few more years in to my 30's to see where my hair loss would stop or not. Hair loss is a big thing on my mothers side and non existent on my father's side. My father is 64 years old and is a legit NORWOOD 1.5. (fml). I think I got my mother's side genes and I am currently a Norwood 2. My goal hair transplant would be to NOT lower the hairline but even/thick it out. I've been looking at hair lines similar to mine and I was thinking I'd only need around 1000 grafts. Is this a good plan? Live my life stop worrying about my hairline and see where it is 3-4 years and then consider getting a hair transplant if I have no sides from fin/dut and hair loss stops? What age should I really be looking for to get a HT. Any advice from individuals who got a HT in their 20's/30's? Any advice from doctors?
  5. Why would you deplete your donor area more? Have you ever even tried finastiride? Without fin, you';re basically never going to be pleased with the density in your hairline
  6. I've been on propecia for 6.5 months. Rogaine, about 2.5 months. I instailly saw regorwth FROM BOTH fin and rogaine but due to it's massive shedd, I lost most of it. I used nizoral for 4 months and used it 3-5 times a week. 1% Nizoral. It dried upo my hair and made it extremely weak and thin.
  7. After using Nizoral, my hair has thinned substantially. I'm off nizoral and I want to recover my thickness. Whats the best shampoo and conditioner for hair thickening?
  8. If you can only choose one surgery on a normal individual, which surgery will produce more grafts over a life time?
  9. He's highly regarded on this forum. I've been doing research and here are some doctors I've also added to the list: -dr. Mohebi, Feriduni, Bisanga, and Keser One doctor i would look into further/or avoid is Rahal. I have 3 separate users on this forum that have PM'd me to avoid him and have had botched/messed up procedures. All three have had FUE. I will not list there names because they wanted to remain private and I want to JUST INFORM YOU ABOUT THEM.
  10. I disagree. if you donor area is depleted go for your Body hair if its thick enough. here are some amazing videos of patients who had donor area depleted and dr. used Body ahir to fix it:
  11. Thank you for your response. I've been off of nizoral for 7.5 weeks and I've been ON finastiride for 6 months and 1 week. What is MSM? and I am already taking biotin. IS there anything I can do to my hair to make this shedd stop? Like shampoo and condition? Specific conditioners? So far I've only been washing my hair with water and then shampooing and conditioning once a week. That is all. IS there anything else I can do? Thank you for giving me hope <3
  12. Thank you for the companionship and kind words. I've been on finastiride for 6-7 months. I inistally saw great results, heck, I even saw regrowth of my hairline at 14-15 weeks. But ever since I over used nizoral and got off of it, I have been shedding 100 hairs like crazy. It's freaking me out. My hair has gotten so thin that my scalp is visiaul in almost every direction. I have a dermotologist appointment in 1 month but thats too far away. I need to know what to do. And I will contact spex
