What are you talking about, NW2 is considered to be a mature hairline isn't it?

I know what you mean but once you see that there is extended miniaturisation on an solid nw2. It was time to do something I wasn't going to wait till I was a full blown nw3 then hop on treatment. Understand?

I'm using 5mg generic proscar. Cut it into 1/4 Spex put me in touch with a dr who sells the stuff at a reasonable price. 189 pounds for a 14 months supply.

I'm debating switching to the name brand proscar from the generic version I get from pharmacy on prescription... not sure if it's worth it or not, but I'm 9 months through now haven't really experienced that much of a difference. I did just go through a massive 2-3month shed that seems to be "finished" now, though. Not sure the payment difference either, as I pay about 4$ for a month of 1.25mg a day currently. It's Dr. Reddy's.

Stick with it. I doubt switching to a generic will do anything for you. You'll probably just go through another shed. You're still early in remember fin regrowth is a plus maintenance is what most people get on while on fin

I'd switch off the generic to proscar, have no idea if it would have any effect though.

Sucks you got your phone ripped off. It would have been nice to compare before pics. But I can tell you have indeed lost some hair. Hair does look good though. Keep it up.

How can you "tell he has indeed lost some hair"?? I see nothing, 0.

I could be wrong but I don't think he was born with the recession shown in the first two pics.

Compared to many around here it doesn't look like he has lost much, because he treated his hair very early on, which most of us fail to do.

Definitely wasn't born with temple recession. I think a lot of the members here have been bald for so long they see anybody with hair loss at it's early stages as not balding.
