I am also "losing it" and have male pattern baldness in my genes. I am 37 and am thining fast.
My doc prescribed "Propecia." But damn, it is $70 for a 30 day supply (pills) so I have to drop about a grand a year to keep my hair. To make matters worse, my doc tells me one of the long-term side affects of Propecia could be sexual dysfunction (reduced libido + can't get it up). He also said that if I were to stop taking the stuff, I would start losing my hair again. So I am thinking, "WTF matters if I have hair if I can't get laid?" It truly is a no-win proposition.
Sorry to hear about your situation.:sad3:
