Concerned about finastride

[depressed17]

First of all hello everyone, as you probably know I'm new to this forum.

I am 17 years old, and lose about 70 hairs a day, I'm already in NW2 and thinning incredibly fast at the top. Hair already looks really bad.

I started using Rogaine foam about 3 weeks ago however there are no results yet, but I'm petrified of the shedding and because of that I've decided to buy finastride, I am currently a student and I cannot afford the label Propecia so I decided to look around and came across www.4rx.com I ordered the generic proecia and got the pills through today. I had a look at them and I'm extremely concerned about them as they don't look anything alike propecia and even if they are real should I risk taking finastride, I read so many stories on different forums about people suffering from past propecia syndrome, I am desperate to keep my hair but at the same time I don't want to do something that could affect rest of my life in very bad way. I was thinking that starting with small dosage (cutting the pills in half or into a 1/4) and if the SE happened then I'd just stop the drug, but if they wouldn't be any SE i'd just goon to the 1 mg

Please help.
