Started noticing the tiniest of recession in the temples around 28 years of age. Started 2% minox at that time. Started 5% minox whenever that came out. Continued on minox until about the time I turned 33 at that time I got on propecia. I also discontinued the minox at that time....I really hated applying the stuff! Continued propecia until sometime early in 2008 at that time i switched to generic proscar and spit the pill in quarters. I never suffered any side effects from the finasteride what so ever. Through out the use of both meds I continued to SLOWLY lose hairs in my temples and a little in the very front. By careful hairstyling I was able to disguise my hair loss to most everybody but was becoming a real pain to style. Never underestimate a good hairstyle to hide hair loss! LOL. I'm thankful for finasteride to maintain my crown with no thinning. I kinda always knew I would need the hair line fixed eventually and constantly researching and waiting until the time came that I could no longer style my hair without looking like I was trying to cover something up! |
