Is it usually best to get treatment through your doctor? I'm just afraid that they might have some out-of-the-box response for all people who are losing their hair ('oh yeah, just try rogaine!). As oppose to doing my own research and ordering online, or speaking with a hair loss specialist?
Thoughts?
Which ever way you go about it, you should also research all of the potential side effects of the meds.
Finasteride has the potential for mental side effects as well as sexual. See here for proof - http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=12256
You should also be aware that there are many law suits pending against Merck (the company behind Propecia ie Finasteride). So it's FDA approving COULD be removed when more is known about how it interacts with everything.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
