First of all, I am a 22 year old guy that has been rapidly losing hair since highschool. First of all guys, this is a brutal and painful human devastation. NO ONE should have to go through looking 26 when you're only 21, or evenlosing your hair in general. It's not fair that we spent so much money on something so unnecessary except for how ohers view us and how we feel about ourselves. I have been told by many people I've encountered in my life that I look old for my age and even my friends joke around about my bald spots. I've been doomed to a life of hats and false promises hand spooned to us like cereal from advertisers who only want our money. I have spent a couple nights crying myself to sleep because my ex girlfriend had actually BROKE up with me because she thought I resembled her father. Harsh.
Anyways... sorry about that
I am currently taking Propecia. I have been now for over a year. I have tried mixing Saw Palmetto berry extract with Propeica with little and/or no added effect. Another promise that I heard that products with Saw inhibit part 1 of DHT while Finasteride blocks type 2, the more coherent form. Well, I have been going in and out of more shedding phases and have noticed hair in my brush and in my bathtub drain. I'm only taking the recommended dose of 1 mg per day and have spent hundreds...
I know you guys have said to stay on the Propecia for results, but after a year is it worth keeping on it?
I have also tried Minoxidil 5% in the back part of my scalp but was wondering that if I do receive the desired result from Propecia one day, if I stop taking the Minoxidil will I lose that hair if the Propecia is doing what it is supposed to and blocking the DHT in my scalp?
Any comments to my post would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, so much
