Cheers for all the replies, some great advice in there! As Sorleyboy imagined, stuff doesnt come cheap over here at all, its not known as rip off ireland for no reason!! Il have to see what i can afford,im just finished college, so money is tight at the moment. For now i suppose the best thing is to make an appointment with my GP and see what prescription he could write for me. hopefully things will stabilise and i can look into restoration later on. Thanks again!

Hi Everybody, this is my first post here even though i've browsed through the forum on many occasions before now. I just have a quick few questions for anyone who can help me.... Il just give you a bit about my situation at the moment first: Im 23 and from Dublin, Ireland, and i have noticed within the last year or so that i'm starting to lose my hair at the front of my head. At the moment, its not too bad and some days it doesnt bother me as much as others, but it is inevitable that i will go bald if i do nothing as i seem to be following in my fathers footsteps! Can anybody tell me in their opinion what is the best treatment to either stop the process/slow it down? I have read up a bit on propecia and this seems like the best option available, does anybody have other recommendations? I have also read somewhere that minoxodil is not very effective against hair loss from the temples as opposed to the crown area, is this true? Also, due to reading posts on this board, i would not think about having a hair transplant at this stage, due to my age and stage of hairloss (Also the fact that there are only two surgurys in ireland that specialise in this area as far as i can see doesnt help !!)Any help as to where to start would be great. Thanks!
