    Strongly considering getting on fin but i have a few questions

    So..I'm a 17 year old guy who is basically a nw3 / 2.5, and well, i really want to do my best to stop my hairline from receding more and losing more so i have strongly been considering fin for a while now but i have a few questions.

    1. What impact could using fin have on the development of my body? For being 17 i would say my body is pretty well developed (i wouldn't be balding otherwise). I can almost grow a full beard, i have fully developed body hair etc. But would getting on fin stop the development of my beard?

    2. Does anyone have any experience with Fincar from inhousepharmacy? At 6 dollars per month it is by far the most economically viable option for a 17 year old. If i were to get propecia on a script here in sweden i would have to pay around 75 dollars a month + i probably wouldn't be able to get it until i'm 18 in a year.

    3. If i were to start taking fin, should i immeaditaly take a full 1 mg per day? Or should i taper on by taking one every couple of days and slowly starting to take more often?

    Any help is appreciated

    Go to your doc, get blood tests, a sript for proscar (5mg fin tablets), and start on a low daily or every other day dose and taper up... ie 0.25 EOD for a couple weeks, then every day, then 0.5mg everyday and work your way up to 1mg as long as you have no sides.

      1. 17! Damn that is pretty young. Usually I would say you need to jump on fin, but at 17...could be risky. But at NW3 you need to do something and soon before it is too late. I would discuss with your parents and doctor and come to a decision.

      2. I have been using fincar from inhouse for 4 months. Its legit.

      3. I started taking fin at 1mg from the start with the only side being a mild ball ache, but I was 36 at the time. At 17 I would start at a lower dose.

        1. I wouldn't worry about age. Everyone develops differently, as you've already insinuated. Still wouldn't be bad to consult a doc.

        2. I use inhouse fincar. I've heard nothing but good things. It gave me the nut/prostate ache it's supposed to initially, in addition to a shed. (I'd say it's legit).

        3. If you're going to get on fin, just take that shit. Taper on if it gives you peace of mind. Tapering on for a month isn't going to make a difference hair-wise.

          Hi.

          I started losing hair around the age of 15-16 or so and I started on propecia a couple days after I turned 17. A year and a month later I have not experienced any negative sides. It has not effected my body hair or facial hair growth that I can tell. I started with and have been taking 1 mg per day.

                    Has it kept your hair though? Or have you lost ground?

                      1- If you are done w/ puberty, do not worry about it. There is a log on another forum where a 17 year old went on dut & he was fine. TBH even if it had a mild effect on developing masculine traits, this is nothing compared to the effect of balding on your appearance

                      2- No experience w/ that brand. At least in the USA there are docs who have prescribed fin to guys under 18....might be this way in your country too

                      3- Just start on the full dose. If you get unacceptable sides you can stop & try restarting on a taper schedule


                      I would consider dut since NW2.5-3 @ age 17 is very aggressive loss. Only issue I can see with it is that your brain is still developing until 26ish & dut inhibits a type of 5-ar involved in producing neurosteroids. It rly is a b*tch of a situation, best of luck to you

                        The bad thing with finasteride is that you have to go see a doctor every so many months when your script runs out for the rest of your life or something better comes out. So it ends up costing a doctors appointment plus the very high cost of propecia since most docs wont write you a generic script. So its tempting for a cosmetic thing to buy online, but its really not a good idea no matter how many people say they had nut ache so they think its legit. Its not legal and nothing they do is really regulated its just a jungle of lies.

                          My doc wrote a prescription for a year. I see my Dr. every year anyway so not much of a big deal. I could be wrong, but if you go to a pharmacy isn't it your choice whether you buy generic. My pharmacist asked me which one I wanted. I agree with what you say about buying online. Who knows what we are getting and if we get harmed, there really is no recourse. With that being said, I am seeing results, so as of now, I am confident I am getting legit stuff.
