As info, more than likely your "Hair" is going to fall out.  Forgot the most important word but you can insert mind, energy level, memory, skin moisture, restful sleep and a few others and the sentence will still be correct.  Treatment is tough and in the big scheme of things hair loss is the least of your worries.  I know as young man of 32 it's difficut to understand that but it's very true.

As info, more than likely your is going to fall out with or without Propecia.  I don't know how Propecia will effect the treatment drugs but some hair loss will be unavoidable.

My mindset during treatment was the less drugs I had to take, the better off I was because the treatment drugs are very powerful and I didn't want my body to have to metabolize any more drugs than absolutely necessary.
