    This is a repost from the Propecia section. Sorry. But that thread went sour quickly. So I wanted to see if I will get better answers here. Anyways... I'm debating if I should start Propecia/finasteride now. The side effects and horror stories here scare me (the shedding, watery semen, skin...

    Should I Go Ahead And Start Propecia? (pics Included)

    I'm debating if I should start Propecia/finasteride now. The side effects and horror stories here scare me (the shedding, watery semen, skin redness, and especially gyno). I'm about to turn 29.

    Is Taking finasteride Not Prescribed By A Doctor Safe?

    My cousin is a pharmacist in an outside country. So I got generic Proscar (5 mg finasteride) from him for cheap. I plan on splitting them into quarters. - Anyways, do you think it's safe to take without a doctor? Or should I go see a doctor first? - If I decide to take it for say a year and a half...

    Proscar Vs Propecia, What Are Your Opinions?

    What are your opinions on getting a RX for Proscar and using a pill cutter to cut it in quarters? I might need to get on finasteride soon.

    Opinions On My Hair Loss (pictures Included), What Should I Start Using? Is It Really Hair Loss?

    Thanks guys. I have an appointment with a dermatologist, May 4th. However, this seems to be more of a general dermatology office. They don't seem to be specialized in hair at all, mostly skin judging from their website. Should I still give it a shot? There wasn't any hair specialist in my city...
