@Melvin- Moderator Thanks for the reply. I am currently not on any medication. I was on topical fin/min for ~6 months, and then switched to oral Fin (1 mg) for a couple of months. I've now been off all meds for 2 months. I happened to develop a serious anxiety disorder right around the same time I started the topical Fin, and it has persisted to this day. I assume it was just a coincidence because I had no other side effects from the topical or oral Fin. However, I wanted to get off the Fin just in case that was the cause of the issues. After 2 months off of it, I still have the same anxiety issues, so I think it is unlikely that the Fin was the cause... but I'm still hesitant to get back on just in case. Have you ever heard of Fin causing serious anxiety issues with no other side effects? I am currently trying to decide whether or not to pursue the transplant I have booked with H&W for later this year. I think it's probably a mistake to do the transplant without being on Fin, so I think it'll come down to whether or not I decide to get back on. I'm also considering just accepting going bald. I tried shaving my head, and while I obviously prefer myself with hair, I don't think it necessarily looks bad shaved. I'm wondering if getting the transplant is just going to set me up for a life of constantly stressing about losing further hair...

I am a 31 y/o with substantial hair loss in my frontal third and crown areas. I've attached an image showing my hair at various lengths so you can see the full picture.I'm sure I can expect to see additional thinning in the areas that have already thinned, but given that I still have full density in the surrounding areas, I am wondering if the hair loss area is pretty much established, and unlikely to expand to a larger area.I am considering a hair transplant to fix the frontal third and maybe add a bit of density to the crown. However, I want to know if there is still a strong possibility of the crown loss region to expand or if I am likely to just eventually develop a bald spot of the same size as the currently-thinning region. Thanks so much!
