Hey Guys! I started propecia 1mg about a month ago. No side affects yet at all. Here's some pics from today. I'll probably post some every 3 months? I cut my hair short. Hoping that I could get used to the shape of my head!!! hahahaha I also attached a before balding picture so you could see how thick my hair was in 2010... although it was thinning at this point already :/ Obviously I had the emo look back then hahahaha
Started Propecia: Will be posting updates

Thanks for sharing. Propecia probably has the best chance to work when used early before significant hair loss has occured. Some even get a bonus with dormant follicles being stinulated to generate new hairs or strengthening of weak thinning hairs. This can give the appearence of more hair. -
Hey Doctor! Thanks for the reply. I've heard that it is very helpful for early hairloss. Would you consider my hairloss to be early still? My fingers are crossed that this will help!Comment

At your age the hair loss is likely in the early stages. Hopefully you can at least stop the progession and maybe even gain a little ground.Comment

Looks like your loss is mostly on the crown. From what I hear, that's where you're most likely to benefit. Your head shape looks decent, so I think you'll have no problem overcoming hair loss, one way or the other.Comment

It's been a little over a month since I last posted. I'm not seeing any regrowth yet, which isn't expected at 2 months. I do notice that my hair looks fuller when it's a little bit longer... rather than buzzed. The hair looks VERY thing buzzed. I also would like to point out that I don't have any side effects.Comment

Did you shed pretty good?Comment

I'm not sure if I am shedding because I keep cutting my hair, which appears worse when buzzed. I do think I am having some kind of a shed but i'm not completely sure. A few people told me that my hair is looking thicker but I don't think so and it's not really possible that anything noticeable could happen already.Comment

Hey good luck. I just joined and posted up a bit on my propecia experience, starting in october of 2012. I will say I was a great responder but started "possibly" having side effects.
What I would give to have your first pics hair again.
Anyway keep me informed if you have any sides.
I started noticing some weird adverse stuff after a month or so ago after starting to take oxy elites (fat burner I liked taking pre-propecia).
Im going on vaca for 2 weeks and dropping everything. I would like to continue but got a bit worried after reading some crazy stories online. Yes I know you have to take those stories with a grain but every myth is based in some fact.
Good luck man.
how old are you.
as for shedding I shaved to number one buzzer cause my intial shedding was AWFUL!Comment

Hey man! I was 21 in the first photo... I was in a band in the NYC area back then that my hair was perfect for. It was great hahahaha. My hair was also starting to thing at 21 and I would tell people but they would think I am crazy. I had a fohawk from age 22 until January of this year when I was 24. No one believed me when I said I was thinning... It wasn't until I cut it really short that people started saying oh now I see it. I'm not sure if the foehawk is the answer or if buzzing it really short is.
Don't take fat loss pills! It doesn't really work in the end. If you want to lose weight I could prob give you some advice. I went from 250 to 160 in one year between the age 17-18.Comment

Nice work on the weight. I was in a band a while ago where the guitarist went from like 260 to like 180.
Anyway tho, Im a very active guy, work out a lot and am not heavy by any means. Just was getting ready for a vaca to PR and wanted to trim some fot he hard to reach places.
Used the stuff before with no problems but I guess maybe they dont mix well with finasteride.
Anyway keep up the deets with progress and sides.
I was starting to show around that age as well. No one else would notice tho until the late 20's
To your photos tho, you seem to have a similar thing as me where it looks like your left side is WAY worse then the right? is this correct? I wonder what does this.Comment

We may be in a similar circumstance as well because I still have some belly fat even though I work out, jog, and even did Insanity at one point. Very confusing... But yea my left side is way worse but at the same time the right side is thin where it's filled in. I'm pretty sure I have a diffuse thing going on with it being the worst in the crown and temples. I'm not sure why the left is higher but it's funny because my gf pointed out to me yesterday that the left side was much worse than the right. The photos I posted here may not do justice to how thin my hair is. Under my phones camera, with flash it looks terrible.Comment

I swear I take a pic with it short and think for a minute I have no progress until I realize that flash was on, or a light above me.
Yours almost looks just like mine. I wil try to get some pics up, I have them but will have to sort them. My left has always been worse which is funny because even the left side of my face seems to grow facial hair diff.
Im a bit discouraged tho with this side effect thing Im having. I really want to continue using it.
As for the wieght loss, it just becomes harder.
I went from 200 to 180 for my last vaca and man did I look lean.... like crack head lean. But it was really too lean when I saw my face.
After a certain age its diet, all in what and how you eat.
I have a pretty good diet but moved in with my Spanish GF which is not good for the belly (big oily meals), but she is getting better with it lol.Comment

When did you start experiencing side effects?
I was 155 at my lowest weight (18-21 years old) but I had no muscle to me either and my face was very drawn in looking. Not sure how that even came about hahahaha. I love food though and I definitely eat a good amount. I could go for some spanish food now that you mention it.
YEa the uneven hair thing is odd. I have no idea what to do with my hair at this point. I've considered shaving it all off a few times but I say to myself... what if propecia makes it better or doesn't let it get worse? Stupid hair shitComment
