    I live in Florida, and buy my supply from cvs. I've read on this forum that others have made the switch with no issues at all, but I worry about switching cause I've had great result on propecia. I just don't understand why one pill that is only 1mg cost so much versus the other is 5mg pill (five times stronger than propecia) and cost so much less? I know that proscar is a generic, but still it doesn't make sense? Maybe a chemist can explain generic vs non-generic? Yes, I do know that generic has always been cheaper than non-generic, but proscar is 5 times the strength of propecia.

    Thanks a lot for posting. It's hard to find well documented accounts like this over such a long time. Any chance of a pulled-back hairline photo? It'd be really interesting to compare it to those early ones you have...

    Positive result, nice one well done to you and your follicles!

    I'm at the 2.8 year mark and i feel i've had the result of keeping what i had.

    Praise be for Finasteride.

    9 years later on propecia

    I haven't been on a hair loss forum for ages. I started to loss my hair around 19 but didn't notice that I was losing my hair until I was 20 years old. I did something about it when I turn 21 when it got really bad. I started to take propecia and got really good results. Then I started to added nizoral 1% and then 2% for a few years and I truly think it did nothing with saving my hair. Over a year ago, my got tight and needed to switch to 5MG generic finasteride which I cut in it 4s. 30 pills last me 120 days and it cost me $10. Lifesaver for me. Well it's about 9 years now and I'm turning 30 in 11 days and would like to show you my hair now.

    Here is when I started to take propecia. You may seen these photos before which I wish MERCK would use my photos and I could make money from it.
