Well, the past is the past, the important thing is that you're doing it now. :)

That was my regret too, but I just wasn't ready. It was fortunate that my hair loss was only gradual, giving me time to change my mind, and at least now I don't have to wake up years from now with a bald head, wondering what might have been if I had only been brave enough to try...

I'm bracing myself for the shedding. On one hand not shedding may mean it's not working, so it will be a bitter pill to swallow if I go through a shedding phase, even though I need to treat it as a good sign. One thing's for sure, I'm damned sick and tired of seeing my hair fall out like I...

Hi guys, Started Proscar (cut up in 1/4ths...roughly) a week ago. I'm curious about how long it takes before you start noticing any effects as a result of taking the medicine. I checked the Merck site and they say it takes about 3-4 months before hair loss begins to stop. In the first...

I calculated the costs with the added consultation, comes to about $30 a month. I can live with that, especially since I spend about as much on vitamin supplements I probably don't need. Interestingly, the company appears to be suing the pharmeutical industry for anti-trust violations.

Cool Wow, I'm definitely gonna check that out, but Crikey what a horribly designed site. The ads to online dating services and website marketing don't do much to give it an air of professionalism either. :hairy: Bit if it's legit, what the hell. :)

Did any of you experience the welcome side effects of finasteride clearing up acne and reducing flakes, greasy skin and greasy hair? If you have, did it stay that way, or did the problems eventually come back after using finasteride for a while?

Hi guys, I was wondering, how many of you had success getting a prescription for Proscar instead of Propecia? I checked the Merck site, and from there I could do a search for doctors in my area that can prescribe Propecia for me, but I suspect that they won't prescribe Proscar as a cheaper...

Thanks Yard. :hairy:

I read Revivogen is available retial but it doesn't say where. Do you get it online? How long does it take for thickening shampoo to work? I just tried the Vive (for men) shampoo and my hair doesnt feel any different, but I've only used it once. Should I give it a few days, or shoud I try...

Hmmm Figured it would be a YMMV thing. Are some shampoos more prone to causing dandruff/scap itching than others? I'm using Head and Shoulders, but apart from reducing dandruff somewhat, it never really kicked it for me, and didn't thicken the hair worth a damn. Time to try alternatives...

What has been the best thickening shampoo available that I could purchase from a retail store? The threads here seem to vary from biotin type shampoos to Vive shampoos. I've read about Revivogen as well, but don't know if I can pick that up at a retail somewhere, or if I can only order it online.

Thanks Thanks for the response Rage. I don't have a family doctor, so I may have to just sift through the list of dermatologists my insurance covers and cross my fingers hoping whoever I go to will be a competent one.

I'd like to hear some of the members' experiences here in getting a prescription for either propecia or proscar. Was it easy, hard? Did it have to take some convincing. How long would the prescriptions usually last? I read on Drugstore.com that they discourage purchasing Proscar because...

Thanks Thanks for the replies! I'll give the suggested links a look see. :D
