    Generic Propecia

    I don't think the pills were dodgy Quantum Cat. They may just use a different filler than the brand name. Like some breads use different flours. My body may not have liked the filler in the generic but was okay with the brand name. Either way, without a double blind study I am not sure if that...

    Generic Propecia

    I was given the generic by my pharmacy without asking. Decided to try it and was a little nervous. Everything seemed okay for about a month but eventually I developed a mild reaction to something I was taking. Basically I had tiny blood vessels bust in my legs and eventually on my torso and...

    Caboki attempt incl. pictures

    Really nice results. I've been using Caboki for about a year and it's good at hiding my scalp and giving me a huge boost of confidence.

    Dangers of nano-fibers (ie.Toppik)

    I've wondered about this too. Sometimes I can see the fibers lightly coating the sink after I apply even a little. It worries me and I've started holding my breath when I use the stuff (I use Caboki). A surgical mask is probably a better idea. But I also know that living in a major city I...

    Why take finasteride every day? Better than taking every other day?

    I've been back on Propecia for 1 year now. I took it every day for 3 years in my early 20s. I stopped because my hair was in a good place. Now, not as much. But for financial reasons (and a little bit of fear of sides) I've been taking 1 pill every other day. I've read here and elsewhere that...

    How do you cut you pills?

    I am considering halving my dose of Propecia -- but I remember all those scary commercials where they said do not let a woman touch a crushed pill! I sometimes have women in my room and worry that if I cut a pill with a knife or even pill cutter some of the dust could end up left on the counter...

    Does the time of the day you take finasteride matter?

    When I filled out my prescription the only thing they told me was to take it in the morning with food. I thought this was strange because of all the things to tell someone starting this drug I never thought time of day would be a big deal. But it must make some difference, otherwise the...

    Propecia - then and now

    It was 2001. I was a freshman in college and starting to see my hair thin out. I was depressed and anxious over it and after a year of feeling sick and worried I started on Propecia. I read a lot about it on forums and felt good about my decision. In about a year, it had done wonders. By senior...
