Hey Bro - My advice on finasteride is try to get Merck the original brand and try to get Proscar 5mg tabs. You can easily cut them into 6 or 8. It is covered by most insurance and the real deal bs Propecia which is the same just marketed differetly. If you decide to proceed - stop looking at sides on...

Hey dboy, Thanks for your note and advice. The first photos my hair was a bit longer and the 2nd had just been cut. I agree there isn't a ton of difference but it does feel thicker and look fuller when it gets to the length of the first pic. Lights, flash, and mirrors also don't help when...

Hey ukmale24 - I am from Canada and am 29. I tried everything for years including Saw Palmetto and absolutely no success. I tried to avoid finasteride like the plague as I was terrified of the side effects. Forums like these didnt help as they heightened anxiousness. I finally started finasteride 3 months...

@Rawtashk - thanks for your note. Keep with it and follow a Triple Treatment Regime: 1. finasteride. 2. Minoxidil which is super cheap from Minoxidil Direct (dot com). 3. Shampoo - Nizoral / Nioxin are good. All work together and better results with all. How has your progress been since you...

Hi Everyone - It's now been (3) months since I started my journey with finasteride (Proscar) taking 1/8th a tablet or (0.625mg) each day. I just got back from a hair cut and over the past 2 months my stylist has noticed that my hair seems to be starting some new growth and is filling in thicker all...

Thanks everyone! @Wuffer - the Minoxidil is 5% solution it is branded Kirkland (Costco) and actually is made in Canada. Before the pharmacy was charging $40 for 60ml and Minoxidil Direct (dot com) provided 12 x 60ml Kirkland bottles for $59.95 USD which is a deal for us as the CAD is performing...

Week 2 of finasteride 0.625mg feeling great - increased libido, more mellow, sleeping better. Had chest pains but they were a muscle pain. Had a bit of back/neck pain from stress of doing an MBA and working full time. Felt a bit more tired cause the weather outside is a little overcast in Toronto (which...

Hi Everyone - almost done Week 2 and feeling good. Just received my 12 month supply of Minoxidil 5% from Minoxidil Direct (dot com) - quick shipping and great prices - a whole year supply for what I wa paying for 1 month at the pharmacy - I highly recommend it. My chest pains have improved -...

Thank-you gents! The temples haven't really been an issue just the crown area that you see. Minoxidil has done wonders with stability. Hoping 0.625mg finasteride will help fill in the crown a bit. Appreciate the notes! amff

Hello Everyone - After 2 years of deliberation to start Finasteride or not I started Proscar (0.625mg/day - 1/8th tablet) last Saturday with the hope of slowing my hairloss at the crown and (fingers crossed) getting some re-growth. My battle with male pattern baldness was noticed 3 years ago in 2008 when I was...

Re: 2 Days Into Proscar (1.25mg) - Seeking Your (+/-) Experience Hey Monty - yup Alanis Morissette was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Glad you can quote points out of her ironic song. Not a fan of her music myself. As for dumbass Canadians not sure what you mean by that as I think we...

Re: 2 Days Into Proscar (1.25mg) - Seeking Your (+/-) Experience sir chugalot - great post - glad to hear it worked for 9 years and also great point in taking time off for the hormones every few years. I know I am going to be monitoring things like a hawk - if I get any remote change in...

Re: 2 Days Into Proscar (1.25mg) - Seeking Your (+/-) Experience Sir Chugs - thanks for your note. Now that Alanis lives in the US we don't consider her Canadian. Wuffer and I were just noticing a trend that on this site and others a lot of the bad experiences from finasteride are from generic finasteride...

Re: 2 Days Into Proscar (1.25mg) - Seeking Your (+/-) Experience Ha - I should have known by the gun in your picture - LOL. Kidding - Canadians love Americans - especially right now because the dollar is at an alltime high. All jokes aside - the FDA is a little more relaxed on specifications...

Re: 2 Days Into Proscar (1.25mg) - Seeking Your (+/-) Experience finasteride-fighter - thank-you. I guess with your side of the coin you could argue my passive agressive note, and blunt statements in response could be the "Evil finasteride". But seriously, I think I would have taken your point and read it...
