kevin i really feel u bro, but my eperience with propecia and rogaine 5% is positive, they have stopped my hairloss completely. at least no more furthur hairloss !!! stay with propecia and get on rogaine and use rogaine all over ur scalp, u will see RESULT !!! i`m willing to use rogaine for the rest of my life if i have to, just give it time and combine these two drugs. i`m sure u will see some result. about the GF,simple, screw her !!!!!
