    There's more to it than strictly age and medication usage. How much hair have you lost?

    22 is very young to have a HT, not knowing where your hairloss is headed long term. What is the extent of hairloss on both sides of your family?

    How long have you been taking Propecia and is it working?

    IMHO, you need to be on Propecia for one solid year under a doctor's supervision and then evaluate.
