read through the forums..ull see that pretty much everyone uses propecia and rogaine (monoxidil), since its the best 1-2 punch.
Actually most will get proscar prescribed, and cut it up, like somene mentioned, cuz its MUCH cheaper. Proscar is the same shit as propecia, they are both "finasteride", but proscar is a larger dose, so u just chop that shit up with a pil cutter and save a ton of cash.

But at the same time ull also see a bunch of threads about people bitching about propecia cuz of the side effects. Dont be fooled by thinking only a small % of people get the side effects. A lot more do then you would expect, but its still yer best chance.

Propecia wil maintain and regrow. Rogaine wil mostly just help for regrowth and doesnt do much for lowering "dht" (the shit that makes u loose yer hair).

There are some few cases where rogaine works wonders. There arent many. read the board, and ull see for yerself. It helps, but isnt great.

Rogaine has been on the market since the 70's, and is still one of the only products for hairloss that "works", which goes to show u how little we have moved forward in fighting hairloss. If you cant handle the propecia side effects, prepare yerself for future baldness (some people people loose hair on the front of their head even when on propecia). Propeca fucks with yer hormones..its some serious shit. Some guys who have gone limp with it still have erection problems months later. This is a small %, but be aware, its some potent stuff. All depends how badly u wanna keep yer hair.
