Regular Member ahlender Posted October 10, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted October 10, 2006 I AM 24 YEARS OLD AND NOTICED MY HAIR SLIGHTLY THINNING AROUND 21 JUST IN THE TEMPLE AREAS. MY FATHER HIT ABOUT A NW 3 OR 4 AT ABOUT 40. I AM VERY ATTACHED TO MY HAIR AS MOST OF US ARE. I HAVE BEING SLOWLY RECEDING AT THE TEMPLY AREAS FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS NOW. NO HUGES LOSSES JUST REAL SLOW. ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO I STARTED AVODART AND ROGAINE. ABOUT 2 TO 3 MONTHS IN I HAD A SOLID 2 MONTHS OF SHEDDING. NOT A HUGE SHED BUT QUITE A BIT WHERE I REALLY NOTICED. THIS LAST MONTH MY HAIR LOSS AND SHEDDING HAS ALMOST CEASED. I MAYBE LOSE 1 TO 4 HAIRS A DAY IN THE SHOWER. I HAVE HEARD SO MANY BAD RESPONSES FROM YOUNG GUYS USING AVODART/DUTAS SHOULD I STOP? HAS ANYONE YOUNG HAD GOOD RESULTS? MY HAIR IS SEEMING TO GET THICKER AND THE LOSS HAS CEASED, WHAT SHOULD I DO? SHOULD I SWITCH TO PROPECIA?

Senior Member hairbank Posted October 10, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2006 Propecia or Avodart is a choice only you can make for yourself. After doing the research on each, I felt it was a little risky for me. I would have opted to try Propecia before going with Avodart but that's in the past. If you've only been using Avodart for 5 months you may be able to switch to Propecia and be okay but I'd get some professional advice from a HT surgeon or Derm.
