So I've been finasteride or Proscar for about 7-8 years so far. I first started off with 1mg propecia then the dermatologist prescribed 5mg finasteride to break into 4 which is way cheaper than propecia.
So that dermatologist is no longer available after 7-8 years.
So this new dermatologist won't prescribe...
Maybe hold off on the surgery. I have saw some hairline regrowth with that combo, but it was pretty slow. Slow as in years if you are willing to see it through that long. But again, every person is different.
I was semi scared when I first took finasteride, but you can't really "feel" it at all. The main side effects from the drug is supposedly sexual arousal loss. Just like every drug, it depends on the person for those side effects and how great they are.
To give you some good news, I don't think I'm...
It's been around 7-8 years or so since I first started Propecia/Finasteride. I honestly can't answer how long it took for it to benefit me because it's been so long ago, but, I'm a semi success story. It helped me maintain and help my hairline a little bit. I haven't got my full hairline back...

Geez...when I look at your hairline, like I've said, it's the exactly as mine and were both korean. But minoxidil isn't healing me as good as your results and i'm younger by couple years too. After 4-5 months, I see very little...
Re: Zeroheat's Story-(Temple loss, Big 3, 649 days update pg 30)
so i have some good news and bad news. I do see some regrowth on my temple after 2months and a week or 2 but not as nearly as strong of a regrowth as yours. I'm just nervous that the regrowth has hit its limits and won't regrow as...
Re: Zeroheat's Story-(Temple loss, Big 3, 649 days update pg 30)
I pray that I grow hair back on my temples like you. It's been about 2 1/2 weeks and my temple hairs MAYBE look a bit darker than before and MAYBE a TAD bit longer but it almost looks the same after 2 1/2 weeks. I hope the minoxidil...
Re: Zeroheat's Story-(Temple loss, Big 3, 649 days update pg 30)
since you switched to generic minoxidil. Isn't it hard applying the liquid minoxidil? I have a hard time applying that, especially applying evenly. So you apply it on the temple, midscalp and vertex? Any tips on applying it? =D I use the...
Re: Zeroheat's Story-(Temple loss, Big 3, 649 days update pg 30)
also, did you put minoxidil on your mid scalp or was that the finasteride that helped your hair grow there.
Re: Zeroheat's Story-(Temple loss, Big 3, 649 days update pg 30)
Hey zeroheat. My hair looks EXACTLY like yours when you first started. Same recession on temples and mid scalp. The box of equate minoxidil from walmart says it won't last longer than 48 weeks which is about a year, and you have...
