I have been wanting to get on propecia for six months now, but I'm currently taking accutane for my acne and my derm told me that I had to wait until I finish accutane before I can take propecia because they both effect the liver. But then again another dr told me that I could safely do both...

Thanks for the link

Would you recommend saw palmetto ? Has it benefited you in any way?

Are you working out, I think that is supposed to increase the testosterone levels in your body. Don't know if you want that though, I'm just asking in general.

Which of the two are you using?

Thanks for the links kilgore, RaginDemon: lol my thoughts exacly. Should I go for generic finasteride or Propecia? What's the difference? What about spironolactone is that something for me?

He is a good guy, but still annoying that I have to "battle" with him to make him understand how painful this is. Anyway he agreed to talk more about it when I'm finished with accutane. :wink:

Hey there, I've tried everything else so basically accutane is the last resort. That's why I have waited so long before I get on it. Anyhow, I don't plan on losing any more hair, I just have to keep thinking positive, I have decided to not to think about side effects all day, because then...

Went to the derm today, he seemed really reluctant to give me Propecia, I really had to push him it seems. He basically said that it won't work and that it has strong side effects. I pushed some more and he agreed to write me a three month prescription so I could try it out. BUT I had to...

LOL my thoughts exacly. :D
