    A cure will come out i believe in 5 years but i think the cost will be enourmous and probably the effectiveness will depend on cost....since u will be able to grow few hairs...so all celebrities should have a nice hair by then.

    Hurts, sorry to hear about the side effects, Idk what to say really...don't want to mess with your body...do some research and decide whats best for you.

    Good luck man, hope everything works out for u.

    Sorry for the late response. Yeah, I decided to quit in the 6th month. I seems to take a long time to feel completely normal after the 6 months on fin but I have been feeling more normal everyday since i quit. I think it is something that will take the body a little time to readjust. I am glad that I quit because it just isn't worth messing up your body for the hair. I know everyone says that but it is true. Unfortunately finasteride just doesn't work for everyone. I've been thinking about trying rogaine.

    Its been about exactly a month since I quit taking fin. I feel like I can safely say that just in the past few days I am completely back to normal. I really do feel a difference after quitting. Even though I believe propecia is a great drug and many people have good success with it I think hormone balances in people are very delicate and changing them will have effects even if they are very minor.

    Looks like we all experienced side effects I experiencied them after one month so thats not a good sign indeed.

    I will try RU as a last resort if not then *!@% it, shaving it and waiting for replicel.

    I'm glad you're back to normal. Atleast you can say you tried to do something about your thining, one of the main reasons I wanted to give it a shot.

    Month 5. Erections are NOTICABLY not as strong. But its inconsistant. Some days im strong down there and there are days like today where its basically limp.

    Libido is low.

    I've receeded heavily in the last 6 weeks which is disappointing. Have been shedding quite a bit for a month.

    I will reduce my 0.5mg dosage by half to 0.25 and see of that works. If not I will gradually get myself off this ****ing drug
