Norwod 2/3 , age 20, in need of advice, pictures

[randomman111]

So to cut a long story short about a year ago i noticed my hairline was further back that it used to be, caused psychological stress etc, all the things you'd expect from someone far too young to be losing their hair!

Basically ive decided that I want to do something about it, I'm unsure what, there are a lot of things floating about online which seem like a scam e.g zx42, trx2, revivogen ect which i am reluctant to try.

Propecia seems like the only liable option however the side effects seem to be a massive put off. I know i've not lost a lot and to a bystander i still look like i have a full head of hair but it really has started to get to me (theres a pic of it normally attatched)

any ideas?

[randomman111]

any side effects on those? Pretty expensive too, I was thinking maybe just fin and niz to start with, as minox causes most of the shedding?

You sound a bit like me. Young, hair loss, but wanting to do something about it before it becomes noticeable. Mine was caused by meds, but that is another story.

I would say that the Big 3 (fin, Minox, and Niz) are the only viable options. But be prepared to undergo a shed and lose more ground when you start. You may or may not get it back, and you may not have one at all. Just be prepared for it and the consequences.

I say that as I'm on fin now, and experiencing a shed (just started). Thankfully I have room to move. I just hope this ends soon and I can hopefully get some regrowth.

Stop posting if you're going to give false advice.

You most likely will shed from the medication, it's very common and happend to me too, but it is absolutely nothing to worry about, the hair will grow back and you will only risk looking worse for a short while(it might not even be noticable to others than yourself).

Thanks man, im just a bit apprehensive about fin, as the side effects sound like they are life destroying, minox won't work on the hairline, might wait for replicel the just posted some pretty encouraging data!

About fin and sides, well, most people won't get any at all. I've been on it for a few years now, and I haven't experienced any sides what so ever. Some will though, search for the user Chrisis on this forum, he did get some heavy sides, but it happens to very few and you are more likely to not get sides than to get it.

Keep in mind, the reason you almost only hear negative stories about fin on the internet, is that the millions of men who use it everyday without sides, don't come to forums like this and post their stories. Only those who get the sides do.

stories about men taking it yeah, however i still feel that I am not fully grown into a man at the age of 19 would it hinder my further developement? e.g beard growth, physique ect

also this brain fog may mess me up, ive got my final year of university coming up and i really can't afford to screw it up.

anyone heard of xz42? ive heard its good on hairlines

[randomman111]

My point was he should be aware that a shed can happen and to be prepared. I was one of those who wasn't aware, and three weeks in had a semi-breakdown in a uni lecture.

Hair loss isn't a time for games. You need to be prepared for all possible outcomes. Impotency, old face, wrinkles, suicide etc.

there's more to life than hair, obviously it can impact you're life greatly but theres no point making sacrifices for something that may not work, feeling suicidal is not a risk that anyone should take to have hair.

Old face/wrinkles? does propecia cause ageing?

There is a rumor that Minoxidil ages you. All I can say to that rumor is that if it actually did cause wrinkles and pre-mature aging, women would never touch the stuff. Plenty of women use Minoxidil. I have been using Minoxidil myself for over four years and I still look a lot younger than I actually am.

Tracy,
Here is a long thread on the subject including 2 girls who uploaded pics. Not saying the pics are good enough for proof but at least there are some that think it can cause problems. The second girl starts on next page.
The link takes you to page 13 just to tell you how long the thread is.

I know you are a "peer review journal" type of gal but it's still good to have an open mind...just in case.

What these girls are describing is an allergic reaction to the medicine. Some people are allergic to some medications. It is unfortunate but that is reality.

Your hair looks alot like mine although my temples are too far back to hide like that. We're the same age too, and take it from me, ACT NOW.
