propecia is meant to stop hair loss. If you are still experiencing hair loss, you may try those other options. I hate to say it but you are probably fighting a losing battle. I have used propecia and it didnt do too much, I didnt seem to lose anymore hair but didnt regrow any either. I stopped it simply because I didnt see any effect. I didnt have the killed sex drive that some have had. The dura is stronger and cuts the dht down to about nothing from what I read but I did hear the sex drive can suffer more on that. Nioxin is something I use everyday. I like it although I really dont know if it is helping me keep my hair or not. It is a bit expensive but try ebay, it is a lot cheaper on there than at "all fine salons" and see if that helps. I met a guy that works for nioxin and he says they guarantee it to stop hair loss if you use the cleanser and the second step. He was a bit thin on top so take that for what it is worth. Quote from tommy boy, " I will take a shit in a box and write guarantee on it but I will guarantee it is only as good as the company that stands behind it "
