Once you start Propecia or a similar drug you need to stay on it. As I understand it, the hair loss starts again very soon after you discontinue taking the daily pills. If I was showing signs of MPB at 20 I would definitely ask my doctor to write me a prescription but be prepared to stay on it for a long time. By the way it runs about $200.00 for a 3 month supply.
So is it really worth the 800 dollars a year it will cost you? How long do you plan on keeping it up? Really, it seems baldness is only an issue for guys in their 20s. Once you get a little older, it really doesn't matter anymore. I'm 25, and it's already not bothering me. I just can't see spending 800 bucks a year on hair loss drugs.

However, maybe acupuncture can be looked into. I've used acupuncture in the past for other things, and it has worked.
