    Default Propecia is it worth the risk?

    Having done my research it seems Propecia is the only way to go. However I'm not a fan of taking any kind of drugs, particularly one with such bad sides. Has anyone honestly taken this drug with no sides?

    I have hundreds of patients who have been taking Propecia for years without any side effects. I only have had a handful of patients complain of side effects. If you are one of the unlucky small percentage of people who have a legitamate side effect, ( not plecebo ) when you discontinue medication the side effects should go away very quickly.

    i dont think it is a small percentage, i started taking fin 5 months ago and had all kind of sides, the good thing is that they wiil go away it took me 3 months to get rid of sides, now i am sides free and very happy with my hair, i recovered years of lost hair..

    definitely it was worth ...

    Those who have problems - serious problems - on fin are always going to be the loudest voices as well as the ones you are most likely to remember. The majority of people who have no sides, or very minor ones they can live with, are mostly quiet and content.

    Default Avodart is better!

    I have been taking propecia since i was 18....best choice i ever made! Do it asap! However, i recently discovered avodart which lowers dht levels by 95% as opposed to propecia which only lowers it by 60%....i would take avodart instead! Since i started taking avodart i have seen a significant increase in density! Major!

    Fyi....don't get ripped off buying propecia....get your doc to write you a prescription for proscar....same med marketed as prostate med......it is a 5 mg pill as opposed to 1 mg for 1/2 the price.

    You can buy avodart really cheap at 4rx.com

    best of luck to all!

    Oh yeah...i am not a doctor just a great critical thinker! Take my advice as you will.
