On Nizoral 1% and Saw Palmetto
Hello,
Up until a few weeks ago I thought I had my hair loss under control. It seemed like the combination of Saw Palmetto (which I'm convinced does absolutely nothing but make my balls feel a little weird from time to time) and Nioxon worked quite well. Around 6 weeks ago I started using Nizoral 2-3 times a week because I intend to avoid taking any sort of medication for as long as I can, and also because I've read it's a really effective DHT blocker.
Unfortunately, things seem to have significantly worsened. Since I'd go crazy if I made any sort of attempt to track how much hair I lose, I can't pinpoint when this crazy shed started, but between August 1st and now my hairline has noticeably receded. I now can also see my scalp through the hair in my right temple area (most of the hair in that area is now wispy). My hairline and temple area are now both noticeably thin up to my crown area.
To start, I'm going to make sure I only use nizoral twice a week. But is there anything else I can do before I make a move to Rogaine? If i do decide to start using rogaine, will the initial shed essentially transform me from a guy with thin hair to a guy who is balding? I am also starting to seriously consider fin, but I have a feeling that I will experience sides since I've had impotence problems as a result of other medications. It's possible that I may be particularly susceptible to sexual side effects.
My goal isn't to regrow hair, I really just want to maintain what I have for another 2-3 years as I begin my career. Your thoughts and contributions are appreciated.
