I have seen people taking 1mg but only three times a week, also seen people taking .25mg everyday. Not sure which country you're in but if you do get on Fin cheapest way is to get 5mg generic proscar and cut it. My pharmacy price matches Walmart here in the states so I 4 months supply for $9.

    1mg 3 times a week - is that effective?

      Well I tried to post some links to another forum about the topic but it blocked the url. The forum is hair restoration network .com There are a lot of negative views of that forum on this site, but as most are transplant patients almost all of them are on fin so you can get some good feedback about it. Type "1 mg 3times a week fin propecia" and "propecia" with the poster as spex and you will get some good posts about reduced dosage.

        If you're consistent, Finasteride and Rogaine/or Minoxidil Foam, would do your hair pretty good.

        My hair certainly has not gotten worse while on Finasteride. I wouldn't say it has gotten better, but it stopped my hair loss.

                  I just hope it holds out until better treatments are out.

                  I am not on fin, so I guess ths is a positive sign...just using toco 8, organic shampoos, and now niz.

                  If say I did get FUE, would I avoid scarring?

                  It's gone back just a liiiiiiiiiiitle bit, it actually isn't really that noticeable. You have really thick hair. I have a receding hairline and thinning hair at the top, plus AA.

                    Yeahyeahyeah, or i'm just gonna call you Triple-Y, name is too long. Anyway, your hair looks good, and I see you're lifting your hair to show your hairline. Last time I was doing that, I was a teenager. I'd wish to have enough hair on top, that I could cover my receded hairline.

                      Hey, thanks everyone.

                      Yeah noticable when I lift it up. I think I will put off taking propecia for now, given it is extremely slow pace MPB - if it is. Hopefully better treatments will be out in a few years.

                      I keep my hair short now, can't really grow it out anymore because it clumps up in the middle.

                      I feel for you patiently waiting, I mean I am fretting over a tiny bit of recession - must be difficult for you.

                      How old are you and was your hairline recession similar to mine?

                        Trust me I feel for myself too. Especially since there's limited treatments for AA, and the limited treatments have limited results. I'm also welcoming a new member to my head, part of the Alopecia Areata team. It has a week in training, now it's ready to come out. It's a new bald spot right in the the middle of my hairline.

                        I'm currently 23 years old. Honestly i've been balding for years, it started with the hairline receding. I had very aggressive hair loss. It wasn't slow like yours. And it hit me really hard. It started slowly at 15, at 16 family members were telling me I have the corners of a hairline that is about to recede, my mother was telling me it's okay, it's normal "It's just a mature hairline", at 17-18 my hairline was receding but my hair looked so good I didn't care, it didn't effect me yet. Then in late December of when I was 18, and throughout 19, it got me brutally. And even though finasteride stopped the hairloss, I haven't been able to recover.

                          That's the problem with early loss, you don't know if it is just a mature hairline or what.

                          What was your actual hairline pattern like - was it the same as mine when you first noticed?

                          I hope to god, they cure this shit for good. It's so unfair how some guys get hit by it, whilst others dont.

                          Is it just me, but does aggressive loss really hits younger guys?

                            I think aggressive MPB can hit any age, it can go from a stabled "Mature hairline" one year, to a massive shed the next year.

                            I'm not sure if I had your pattern, but I can tell you it did start with the hairline appearing "matured".

                            This is my cheap hairline now[Today]. I have some ointment on it, treating the AA spots.

                              That stupid black mark on my forehead there, from wearing baseball caps every time I go out. I hate it. I don't know what can get that off. I just can't stop wearing hats.

                                Man I think the problem with the mature hairline, is everyone receeds will have a mature hairline at one point or the other.

                                Like - how do you define it - it such an ambigious term.

                                Gets further complicated when indeed some guys do receed and then it stops - pierce brosnan, jordan knight being 2 examples.

                                You have a good head shape, and good skin tone man.
