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.

Re-growth and long term maintenance! Congrats.

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...

I want to switch to proscar, but I'm afraid that it won't work as good as propecia. I'm paying 90 bucks a month for propecia, and been on it for 6 months and getting good results.

I just started taking proscar about 8 days ago and I haven't notice any differences between hair sheds. I used to buy propecia for 80 dollars at Walgreen's for the past 13 months, so i know how you feel.

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.

What I have read from forums and websites, it contains the exact same ingredients. Reason why they're different is because the're from different companies? I also bought mine at inhousepharmacy but I will make an appointment with my dermatologist and get a prescription for proscar, when she gets back from her VACAtion.

Propecia and Proscar are both made by Merck. This is what I've read, so if they are both made from the same ingredients why is one so much more expensive than the other? Proscar is 5 times the strength of propecia and it's still cheaper than propecia?
