just been doing a bit of further reading on peoples experiences with rogaine and ive received the impression that for those people where rogaine was not effective and they quit, that their hair loss almost seemed to be accelerated after they stopped using it as opposed to just continued loss at the previous rate. am i wrong in getting this impression, or is this just a risk one takes if rogaine were to fail?

thanks alot for the advice guys took special note of what you said petesman, the whole 'oh its not really that bad, i can wait' mentality. thats probably my biggest danger. think ill probably go the rogaine (though will research a bit further first) as it i dont need a prescription and seems a little less extreme. anywho once again thanks for the advice

Hi Guys, have been reading this site for a little while but have just joined up. Just wanted some advice on whether rogaine and procepia are really suitable options for me. I'm 19 and have experienced only very mild hair loss thus far (slight receding of the hairline at the temples, no loss at the crown and hair still evenly covered and thick). However i still wish to adress the problem early as i hear it is the best way of acheiving lasting results. The problem is ive read that rogaine and procepia are only fda approved to treat hair loss of the crown and mid-scalp regions. As it stands, it is only the my hairline that troubles me. Even if these medications will supposedly not help undo some of the receding, will they stop it from receding further? Or will these drugs be of little use to me until i have begun to experience hair loss on mid-scalp and crown regions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
