    Propecia and beards

    I'm 23 almost 24, and my beard isn't that great, especially my mustache. I've been taking propecia for a week now, and I've been reading about the effects on facial hair. Does it stop development altogether, or slow it down? I don't want to end up bald and and with a weak beard.. If I stopped...

    Propecia vs generic finasteride, 5mg

    Hi all, Went to the dr today and had my first talk about losing hair, and he gave me a prescription for propecia. He wants me to try this for a short time, then if I still want to try generic after, he will write me a prescription. Is this a bad idea? I know it's the same thing, but I see...

    Best starting dose for a nervous finasteride user?

    Hope so! I don't want my kids to have to deal with us. But it's my impression from reading that its beneficial to cut the dose and take it every day, rather than every other. Of course, I could be wrong. :p

    finasteride Dosage

    Hi all, I'm going to the dr tomorrow to hopefully get a prescription - should I try to get finasteride or proscar/etc? What's the 'best' dosage to see minimal sides/sheds, but still get the results - .5? 1.25? I saw some people talking about .5 every other day. Thanks!

    Anyone here have results under a year on finasteride? I don't know what to do about my crown in the meantime..

    Turns out I'm not ready to lose my hair

    Would you recommend the minoxidil with it, or could finasteride work without it? How greasy is it? I'm guessing you need to use it 2x a day?

    Turns out I'm not ready to lose my hair

    Doesn't it have to be applied 2x a day? What if I miss a few days, will I lose it? Would regrowth and thickening improve if I use minoxidil and finasteride? I'd like it if I could use one and have it work, but I guess it helps if you use both?

    Turns out I'm not ready to lose my hair

    I always hated the idea of taking meds and having potential side effects - but my thinning and receding is getting to me. I'm going to the dr soon - what do I ask for? What kind? Then I see people cutting the pills in quarters - what's a good amount to take so you can see the results and...

    23, confused and frustrated.

    Hi all, I'm 23, about to be 24 in May. The texture of my hair has been changing lately, with the sides still growing in like always, and the top getting thinner (but still full coverage) and sort of limp. Within the past 3 months, I've noticed some definite thinning on my temple (if I spike it...
