just came across this this afternoon....

i couldnt tell, but have you had any growth in your temple region? What is your dailty regimen?

[moses0324]

umm. i had a little regrowth in the temple areas. i caught the recession too late.

i dont know your situation but if you are already somewhat bald in a particular region (i.e. temples or crown)...it is unlikely the hair will come back from nothing. if you have existing hairs in an area you can expect those to get thicker and regrow. results obviously differ from person to person but i never expected my temples to completely comeback. they were gone by the time i hit the meds.

i take 1 mg of finasteride daily. i also use nizoral 3x a week.

did you need a prescription? I went in there and they didn't have any they said I needed a prescription for it.. I was under the impression that since it was generic I would be able to find it..

You still need a prescription. Why wouldn't you? Just because you are buying generic doesn't mean it's not the same active ingredients as propecia. Buying generic is like buying stop and shop brand ketchup instead of Heinz. It's the same just cheaper.

Good luck in your efforts.

thanks for answering my questions...I'm 20 and am noticing thinning in my temples and the hair is starting to fall out, so I'm trying to get it under control as soon as possible..the only thing I am worried about is not being able to get a prescription for this, so i'm looking into fincepia (which i can buy online)..did you experience any shedding at the beginning of treatment?

i would suggest getting on the meds asap. 20 years old is a perfect time to start. just remember it is a lifetime commitment. you shouldnt have an issue getting a prescription. just make sure that what you are buying is authentic. personally i only trust local pharmacy's.


i wear my hair buzzed or shaved, so i couldnt tell if i had initial shedding. sorry.

[rc01]

well I have an appointment with a dermatologist on April 4th. Hopefully I don't experience that much more hair loss/thinning before that point..I'll most likely go to walgreens to get the pills. do you cut your pills?

[moses0324]

they come in 5 mg pills. i cut them into 1/4's

Good thread

You don't need one if you buy at certain places online like http://www.validonlinepharmacy.com that's where I been buying.

Awesome results but I gotta ask....what's the point in taking fin if you just shave your head anyway lol?

[burtandernie]

The good thing with fin is there will most likely be something better like CB in another 2-3 years and people have been on fin for like 20 years by now so its pretty time tested. A few years on it wont be a big deal then you can switch to hopefully something better in a few years so you wont be on for it life most likely
