Lo all!
After reading around and taking some advice from people on here I am considering taking Propecia along with my topical application of minox.
I do have a few questions though just to clear things up for me.
Firstly: Does it increase hairloss at first?
Secondly: Whats the success rate?
Thirdly: Anyone lost their mojo from it?
Propecia - tempted!!

Sorry for the late reply.
Some people report increased shedding at first when on Propecia. I have noticed and read anecdotally as well that any treatment can have this effect initially, but it should stabilize and hold the line eventually.
The success rate depends on how you define success. I think they said something along the lines of 66% either kept the hair they had or regrew some hair. I'm going strictly off of memory so I may be wrong here. I think it may actually be higher than 66% but would have to look it up.
There are people that report lost mojo for sure. I think some of it may be psychological and placebo effect, because this is a rare side-effect. I for one have too MUCH mojo, even with the Prop.
Hope that helps.

Cheers Sam
By success I guess i mean holding steady, i'd be happy with that tbh, the minox might bring it back too, the comobo of them both might work.
I'm not really worried about going bald, i just woulda liked it to happen when im 31 not 21 lol
I've got an appointment with a tricologist in harley street so i'll see what they come up with and let you know
