    Hey dude,

    Thanks for the update. If you were still interested in propecia, what a lot of the people in this forum do is get generic proscar (it's 5mg of finasteride, typically prescribed for enlarged prostates), and cut that down into quarters to save a lot of money.

    I'm currently on day 3 of finasteride. I got a script for propecia (1mg finasteride) and one for proscar. The propecia is $92 for 28 pills, but the reason I got it was so I could cut it down into quarters and taper up the dose gradually.

    Once I'm on the full 1mg pill, I'll switch to the quartered proscars, and from there I plan to stay on those indefinitely.

    The generic proscar will cost me $70 for 28 pills, and since I'm quartering them It will only cost me $210 a year, as opposed to $1104 on propecia.

    If you do plan to take this approach make sure to get a pill cutter and a pill box.

    good luck.
