    Thanks for the input so far guys.

    I thought about this after seeing an article in a magazine, but never got round to purchasing. Perhaps I will, as you say, for special occasions as I'm sure it's too expensive to use constantly!

    Thanks Tracy, I will look into changing to the products you have mentioned.

    Yes I have been lazy in the past. If I'm going to up my game by adding Propecia into the mix, I think I need to get more serious. It's not purely that I can't be bothered though, I literally just forget sometimes or I go away for a couple of days and forget to take it with me.

    Speaking of this... my girlfriend is worried because I am already on SSRI's for anxiety/depression and there seems to be an increased risk from taking Propecia of making this worse for me? Like you have said, it's certainly worth a try anyway. Am I right in thinking it can only be prescribed by my doctor? I will go and discuss this matter with him first anyway.

    Regarding the Norwood Scale, would you say I was a 3-vertex at the moment? Or nearing a 4... do you think it's most likely I will end up as a 7 eventually?
