  1. Stop the medication. Preserving hair is not worthy of depression.
  2. Interesting study regarding the usage of demal papilla cells in 3 dimensional growth cultures injected in lab mice:
  3. Thanks for the information. This is very valuable.
  4. No offence but... Can you subtract? 2009-2006 is 3 years, not 10.
  5. I know Rocky Balboa is not a psychiatrist, but this is my opinion on the bullying subject matter: I wouldn't recommend a hormonal disruptor such as finasteride, especially because it may worsen your depression. Sometimes, solutions are simple, like getting a girlfriend or hanging out with people whose company you enjoy. Take care.
  6. Be smart. It causes gymnecostasia(breast enlargement), erectile disfunction(which may be permanent) and depression(many suicide victims have been reported as Propecia users). The only reason why it is still being sold is because of the money it generates for the drug companies. Some people do not report side-effects, they are blessed, but I am sceptic about the long term users (no study has been done for more than 5 years usage). Shave your hair, or if you have the money, visit a hair surgeon for advice.
  7. Is that a sign of craftsmanship from your surgeon?
  8. If after reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone_disruptor, you still believe that hormonal disruptors are save, then go to a psychologist.
  9. I have substantially lost a lot of hair due to the cessation of propecia and Minoxidil %5 application. I experienced much better mood after cessation as well. Let alone the other known side-effects.
  10. Yes, green and black tea are excellent anti-aging drinks.
  11. Piece of advice: Leave people that do not appreciate you just because you are going bald. Don't adapt to ludicrous and frivolous societal expectations even if they are standards or norms.
  12. What should be prohibited in this forum is people suggesting newbies to buy finasteride without Dr. consultation nor any knowledge of the potential side-effects. I've seen that and it is not funny at all.
  13. Your reading skills are quite lacking. I implied that Propecia's safety must be put to a test with a wider range of samples and for a longer period. The effectiveness is undisputed in the majority of cases. I doubt that in our case (acid reflux, mine is because of a hiatal hernia), the best solution is Nexium or any other Esomeprazol compound. I think the best solution is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissen_fundoplication I think that a healthy lifestyle is the best solution for health issues, and medicines with severe side-effects are not as efficient as one would like. Of course some people have no option but to take medicines perennially, again, they have been informed of the pros and cons and have decided that the pros outweigh the cons.
