Senior Member MrJobi Posted July 3, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted July 3, 2007 Get on Propecia ASAP Shampoo's cannot regrow hair but a new shampoo came out called Revita which has a lot of good ingredients in it. Certainly can't hurt but don't bet on it JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations.

Senior Member its752 Posted July 4, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted July 4, 2007 23newjersey, Like Mrjb said: Propecia for sure. If it works for you--no bad side effects that is, and do not, do not give up hope even if you lose more because transplants are only getting better and if you persist, I'm betting someday you'll have a full head of hair again.

Senior Member scooping around Posted September 17, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted September 17, 2007 I'd suggest you get a prescription for the propecia, and maybe consider getting off those weight lifting supplements as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member MarylandGuy Posted September 17, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2007 What prohormones were you taking? Many of them are legally classified as prohormones to skirt the Class 3 category of most steriods and have slightly different chemical make ups, but convert to an actual steriod once in the system. Which is why many of them find their way onto the governments no-no list fairly quickly. If getting on propecia isn't an option for you, get to using rogaine. Often many steroids and prohormones convert to DHT, so you want something that's going to combat the DHT. Sounds like if your twin's hair is just fine and yours isn't, it could most definitely be a result of what you're taking. Rogaine is super cheap now so get that and I'd look into propecia as well. Now that I'm no longer taking any form of supplements (aside from a buttload of caffeine, and occassionally ECY, and things like Super Pump, NoXplode), I plan on getting back to Propecia as I never had any adverse effects while on it.

Guest Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 If you do consider taking Propecia, keep in mind that it only helps with the crown area of your hair and not the hairline itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member giants Posted September 21, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted September 21, 2007 Vargamn your statement is actually untrue. It works for the whole scalp including the hairline. Hair loss drugs are usually only tested on the crown and therefore only say that they work on the crown. I assure you 23newjersey that propecia will affect the areas of your scalp equally.

Regular Member Meta-Monster Posted September 21, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted September 21, 2007 Look into the following regime. In my opinion this would be a good starting point from which you can make changes as your condition unfolds. First, stop with the prohormones. I've seen tons of posts made by users over at t-nation.com dicussing how they've begun to notice hair loss once they began supplementing with this stuff. Things like whey or casein based protein powders, BCCAs, fish oils, fat burners etc. seem to not have this side effect, while still providing the benefits of increasing one's metabolic rate, helping maintain an anabolic state, and so on. Get on Propecia and midoxidal (the rogaine 5% foam is the best kind IMO). Get some good shampoos and alternate usage on a regular basis (Nizoral, Revivogen, etc.) Start using copper peptides at nighttime with your midoxidal. The Folligen line is pretty good IMO. Find a good concealer like Toppik, Nanogen... Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MikeTheDane Posted December 27, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hello I believe that it is very likely the use of prohormones being the cause of your hairloss. I would quit them immediately - being a powerlifter/bodybuilder myself, i can understand why this might be hard, but i believe that the male physique is about more than muscle - its about fullness of appearence. Are you still shedding? Get on rogaine and propecia asap, they might be able to stop/reverse it, though theres no guarantee. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11/04-07 - 800-1600 ish grafts - danish clinic - poor results 12/02-08 - 2764 grafts - Dr. Devroye - good result but needs hairline density 03/12-10 - 1429 grafts - Dr. Mohmand - result pending Feel free to visit my picture thread My Hair Transplant Photos - Surgery with Dr. Devroye Young lads below 25 unite!

Senior Member MrJobi Posted January 1, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 1, 2008 Your hairloss looks like classic diffuse thinning. If your hairloss is due to the drugs you are taking it would seem it is only speeding up the MBP process based on your photos. I am no doctor but it seems very obvious to me.
