Default Who give you your prescrption?

I tried once Propecia for 6 months and stoped because I was suffering sides but now I want to give it another try so I went to see my Primary Dr and when I asked her for a Propecia prescription She first had to ask me what Propecia is and when I told her then She said She was not going to give it to me and sent me to see a dermatologist.

I don't want to spend $60 which is what my specialist visits costs me, every time I want a new prescription.

So, Where do you guys get your prescription?

WTF is wrong with your GP? My GP writes my prescription. My dermatologist was going to write me a prescription too, but I told her no need since my GP was doing it already.

family doctor gives me mine.

If you want to save money, ask for a proscar prescription, much cheaper(it's the same thing, only 5mg dose instead of 1mg, just break it into quarters to get a smaller dose.)

Did you have any issues switching from propecia to proscar? Technically if your cutting proscar into quarters you upping your dosage from 1mg to 1.25mg.

Well I don't know if Miami Dr's are the worst among USA but I have gone to many not only Primary but Specialist too of all kinds and then I've talked with friends in California for example and it seems to me that here in Miami charge you too much and give you too little.
