Went for a few consultations in the Toronto area. Definitely not looking for something immediately but one day I may inevitably go down that road. Just the thought of taking finasteride for the rest of my life makes me cringe.. I was optimistic back in 2005 that something better would be widely...

Hey dude, DR.Robert Jones in the Toronto area originally prescribed it to me for daily usage. I got a second opinion from Dr.Cotterill (also in Toronto) and he stated taking avodart everyday at that may be overkill, especially with its sensationalized half-life. For the first two weeks I was on...

Pretty sure I won't go back to dutasteride again. At first it was an experiment (that lasted 2 years). Was on finasteride for a little over 6 years before switching to dutasteride. dutasteride is some pretty potent stuff! Going to see how well I do with my current regimen and maybe switch back to propecia/proscar if I feel...

So its been two weeks since I took my last dose of dutasteride... been doing it 3x a week for a little over 2 years when I found that finasteride was losing its mojo. Around the same time that I quit, I started taking some supplements to boost my libido. I was sure Avodart had a role in my lack of sex drive...

Hey Bro! I think I always knew dutasteride was overkill. The thing is, my curiosity was too strong and I took the plunge. Mind you, I probably could have taken it everyday and yielded better results. But I settled at 3x a week from the advice of a well respected hair transplant doctor here in Toronto. I did have...

Veteran checking in Hello all, It's been a while. I used to frequent these forums back in 2005-06 and I decided to get off and live my life and let the treatments do their thing. I was on from propecia/proscar from 2005 to 2011 and in Oct of 2011, I decided to go the Dutasteride route...

Canada has a good reputation for health care among other things. They have stricter laws but that's only a small price to pay to live in this great country. My suggestion to you is trying to get a presrciption for 5MG finasteride. Therefor you can go to your local shoppers drugmart and cut it...

All I can really report in terms of sides is random nipple sensitivity. It happens randomly and goes away within a few days. This was not followed by breast tissue enlargement or gyno.

It's possible we ran into some without knowing it. Have you ever had someone look at you then look at your hairline, and continues that process for a few seconds? There's a chance that person is on HairLossTalk.com.

I like using Nioxin on my Nizoral off days.

You will be given a prescription for propecia. Everything you will be told by your doctor will be reiterated from what you've already read from these forums, but in less detail.

From Toronto mate! My Jamaican friends sure have an influence on me though :) I'm curious, has anyone ever assembled a routine hairloss meet? I can just imagine it; a group of us at a coffee shop (preferably Tim Hortons). We'll take turns assessing the Norwoods if passer-by's.

Is anyone brave enough to "like" propecia on facebook? Anyone up for some truth or dare? Lawl. P.S I just turned 29 today and I still have hair. But I'm not really fond of the number itself. Been on finasteride since I was 22 and I recently switched to dutty dutty dutasteride. I'm pretty sure I'd be bald as...

I remember several years ago when I first started taking finasteride. I immediately noticed a decrease in scalp irritation and shedding which I thought would be an indication that I would be a good responder. I was right. now after making the switch to dutasteride which I am taking 3x a week, I've immediately...

Torontonian here. If you decide to use nizoral your best bet is to buy it at Wal-Mart where its usually cheaper. You can find nioxin pretty easy here but its expensive stuff.
