Starting 1 mg a day generic propecia!

[user1991]

Hey guys hows it going? Just a little background. I'm 22 years old and don't have much balding in my family. Dad went completely bald when he was 18 and my grandfather from mom has full head of hair (which according to my derm is where most guys can determine their hair future), and grandfather on dad's side also full head of hair. I've always had very thin hair but a good amount of it. I didn't even know I was balding until this year when my awesome and caring gf informed me that she thought I was balding. Honestly, I never cared one bit about my hair and just drowned it every day with shampoo ha, well not funny any more ha. But after looking at some pictures in past 2 years I could tell my temples were receding a bit into i guess a "mature hairline", so i thought. Went to the derm for the first time today and was confirmed for slight thinning on crown and slight receding temples. Fortunately, my doctor recommended generic propecia. After hearing about all the sides, I am still on board with propecia and doing anything and everything to save/grow my hair Starting tomorrow I will be taking 1 mg of generic propecia for 12 months and will keep this thread updated with pics and thoughts! Wish me luck guys! Peace!

Good luck mate, my hair looks very similar to yours, my loss has been slow and gradual, started at age 27 - i'm 44 now, it still worry's me, and i too am very tempted to start Finasteride to save it..

I'm currently taking generic finasteride, saves me a solid 30ish dollars. I went to a derm and got prescribed for it so just the pharmacy here in chicago. I know there are reputable sites, but honestly super sketched about that since the pharmaceutical business has tons and tons of scams ha. Good luck bro!

Also update: officially one week on finasteride and no sides, no shedding, no improvement as well. But have high hopes and still just living my life!!

I just saw my guy this morning he gave me generic finasteride as well. BTW, when I talked to my doctor he warned me of all the sides and mentioned prostate cancer (which I had never heard of before). Did your family doctor in NY say anything about this? Its kind of freaking me out a bit but its probably not the biggest deal.
