From my experience so far (with the few derms I have seen regarding hairloss) some of them really don't know much about hairloss. They probably just know enough to prescribe propecia and tell you about rogaine. I'm definitely not trying to talk negatively about dermatologists. It's just that...

It's the finasteride I buy and it seems to work the same as when I was on propecia. The only difference. . . . About $320 for four months of propecia or $9 for four months of Walmart finasteride. Not bad if you ask me! And I definitely trust the pharmacy there. Ive been on it for a little over four months now...

So...there is no information?

Hey guys, I know there is tons of info on here about Topicals but I always seem to have a hard time finding it. Especially regarding RU Could someone point me in the right direction to find our more about RU and s5? Also, I've read that RU is probably better than s5. has anyone been able to...

Re: 9 dollars for real finasteride at a pharmacy Yeah I've read that about starting finasteride, but we are talking about going from already taking 1 mg of finasteride (in my case, for 7 months) to quartering a generic 5mg pill into 1.25 and taking that instead. So we have already been using finasteride......it's...

Re: 9 dollars for real finasteride at a pharmacy No, I don't think it's fake. I mean, it's coming from the Walmart pharmacy so i HIGHLY doubt that it would be fake. I experienced a pretty significant shed, for about 4 days, a week and a half into starting generic 1.25 finasteride but it leveled off...

Re: 9 dollars for real finasteride at a pharmacy Well, I've only been doing the 1.25 for about a week and a half now but I have noticed two things 1) my hair fall has increased. Usually when Im washing my hair I'll find one or two hairs in my hand. The last few days I've had about ten hairs or...

Re: 9 dollars for real finasteride at a pharmacy Yeah Cassin, That's no prob! I also want people to know about it! I just wish I figured it out sooner haha

Re: 9 dollars Yeah it is great! I just can't believe it haha and actually, That is the FULL price. My Doctor asked me not to claim it on my insurance to avoid any questions/confusion. I mean, i'm only 24 and it may look a little fishy if I am taking proscar prescribed by a derm haha. anyway...

This may have been posted before but I just had to share this....because I have been paying about $90 a month for propecia. I recently talked my Doctor into prescribing me Proscar to cut up into fourths. I couldn't believe the price of the generic Walmart brand NINE F*#KING DOLLARS!! For 4 months...

Thanks for the reply. What is cure zone? I think my next step is to add min, although I'm really trying to get over my fear of the possible side effects associated with min. It's funny.... But I find myself more worried about min sides (bloating, dark circles, etc) than I was about finasteride sides.

Hey everyone, Any advice on the best way to find a doctor who really knows what they are talking about? I just feel like a lot of derms really don't know much about hairloss. The lady that prescribed propecia to me said she doesn't think rogaine works at all and not to bother. I'm definitely...

Thanks Finfighter I was a little concerned about the dark under eyes as well. I read that some people experience that too. I'm only 24 and unfortunately I already have pretty dark under eye circles all the time. The doctor told me it was genetic ( f*** genetics haha) so I dont want to make it...

Hey folks, Im considering starting the use of Rogaine but I've read several posts that talk about water retention in the face and honestly this scares the crap out of me. It wouldn't be worth it to try to fix my hair problem only to gain a problem like that. I can't seem to find information on...

Hey folks, I've been on Propecia now for 3 months. Unfortunately I have had consistent shedding since I started. It's important to note that I have gone through two Major sheds since I've noticed my hairloss. I am 24 and only realized my hairloss about 8 months ago. At that time I was going...
