    Another little update: my parents want me to see my general practitioner for a physical because I haven't gotten one in quite some time. My appointment is next week, so would you guys recommend I inquire about finasteride at my appointment. What's the best way to go about that?

    I know, man. It's too damn cheap.

    Ah, bummer. There might be another reputable, cheap on-line pharmacy, but this is the only one I know.

    It's legit. Gave me the temporary nut ache, got rid of my scalp itch, and all the other symptoms of fin working. Many other members will vouch it's legitness. Takes ~10 business days to ship to Midwest USA. No shipping costs. $27 for 30 5mg pills.


    You're welcome!
    Favourite'd. I just refilled my prescript a couple days ago so after this refill. Thanks dood!

    Holy *$%#!! And I thought it was expensive for me.

    I've been deciding about splitting the pills too but been afraid to do so cause it'd save me sooo much moneyz each year

    Ya he prescribes all of his patients propecia and recommends to stay on it [U]alone[U] for about a year. Apparently the reason why not to combine with minox is so you can see how much one is actually effective, then to add another if it's even necessary hope i helped!

My parents were freaking out that i'm even taking gen. propecia and saying that I shouldn't even chance the effects so they called a very very reputable source in New York, to get some more info on finasteride. Apparently he highly recommends his patients to take any where between. .25 and .5 mg's of propecia. He was saying that after all his years, there is virtually no difference and do just about the same as taking 1 mg of propecia. So i'm just gonna listen to him ha kind a lot sorry!
    Very interesting! The reason I asked is because I was going to talk to my derm about starting off on a lower dosage and just moving my way up. That way my body can get acclimated to the drugs. Did your parents' source in New York think highly of finasteride?

I think you'll be fine with just waiting a month
    Later in the month was the most recent I could get for this dermatologist, and the office said she is their leading physician when it comes to hair loss. I imagine a month of waiting won't do too much harm. I noticed you were taking a lesser dose of fin than the 1 mg recommended. Did your derm recommend that? Or just on your own prerogative.

    Alright fellas, this might be kind of a goofy concern, but I got an appointment later this month with a dermatologist who works in hair loss. I am a little nervous because I'm afraid in a month I will have dramatic hair loss. Goofy or realistic worry?

    Ya it sucks it covered dermatologist appointment, but not the meds. And I got generic propecia, about 40 dollars cheaper.
