@ GM - i guess it adjust depends on the person then. I assumed younger people wernt as likely to be affected.

@ Monkey/buster - Definitely a scary thought.

I look completely normal but whats funny is my surgery side has become my "good side". My muscle control on the surgery side isnt as good as the other side, and smiling real big or winking all the way on the one side of my face is kind of hard. I thnik the restricted movement may have had a similar effect as botox.

@ Matty - i sure as hell hope so. Propecia and Avodart were originally created for BPH (when you’re going problem becomes a growing problem). One of the side effects was that these drugs also stopped hair loss and regrew hair. Minoxidil (rogain) was discovered in the same manner. Theres also nizoral that was made for dandruff but happened to regrow hair. Its really amazing that no one can figure it out, but people keep stumbling on stuff. Hopefully that article is right.

@ Skinsfan - Ill add another reason i wouldnt use rogain. Its a liquid you have to put on your head and leave in. Think about that. Its a lot of work, its probably messy and you probably cant have white pillow cases or sheets, its just nasty sounding.

The vast majority of doctors will prescribe a guy propecia without issue. He (if youre going to a female doctor that’s your first mistake) may ask if you’ve tried rogain, if so say yes but youre allergic to one of the ingredients or that it makes you break out or that you don’t like putting grease on your head every day. If you say no he will probably say try rogain first and see me again in a month or 2 (you know he gets paid each visit, right?).

If cost is an issue think about being ugly, lonely AND bald for the rest of your life, albeit with a few extra dollars, or just ask for generic finasteride (probably even cheaper than rogain). If your doctor wont let you take a 5mg pill of generic finasteride daily, you can break it easy into thirds to appease him. However, if you live with any female that could get pregnant, even if by accident, id highly advise against this as finasteride is known to cause birth defects. Splitting pills can create dust and stuff, and while it may be very unlikely, its definitely not worth taking any chance whatsoever on.
