spending 425$ for a consultation seems a bit ridiculous to me.... I would think any good derm. can tell you if you are balding or not.

Just because some people have expereinced less effectiveness from the drug, that does not mean that you will.... Ive seen people taking it 10+ years and it is still just as effective.

I paid 600$ but I believe the price may go up to 800$.

very good write up.. I had my prp treatment with feller on the 4th, so you saved me some time writing about it.. Id just like to say that I shared a very similar experience as well... Has the tenderness of your scalp went away yet?

ny... as someone who is struggling to recover from the side effects... i would still recommend you try it.

Yea, I saw it after i posted that ny....thanks... and for propecia not working in the front... it did with me and i'm sure others as well... i only know it did now bc ive been off it for 3 months and my front is starting to get thin again.

where do you see this video at?

didnt see that before.. thanks tom

you didnt answer my question before but have you noticed any results as of yet... or at least has you hair stopped falling out etc...

im also 22....and have had side effects from propecia....was on it for 9 months... I could never get over the sides.. my advice would be to try it and if you dont have side effects you should be able to hold onto the hair u stil have.

they say to stay on propecia for a year before you may see results.. me personally, by 4 months i saw hair improvement in the quality and much much less hair falling out.. its hard for me to see regrow because im not probably a nw1 if that at all.. I never really experienced a shed, my hair kept falling out like it always did till day by day it lessoned.

Yea i would wait till your body goes back to normal.. thats what I did before trying a lower dosage..it took me about a week to get back to normal before trying to take it again.

how long have you been taking prop for? I ask because it will be easy to see if the drug still works while taking .50 eod if the drug is already working for you now.

did you try taking .50mg every other day, or mwf....?

i tried just about every way you can think of.... taking .25mg eod and what not... still had side effects..i took propecia for about 9 months... and ive been off it for 3, and are just starting to recover... in the end propecia just didnt work for me.

any dose lower then .25mg a day would probably not be effective... as far as the sides go.. you are and I are pretty much in the same situation..... i was never able to get rid the side effects while on the medication. the lowest dose i tried was .25 and still had side effects....

ive been using for about 6 months, and in my experience, when the can was all liquid it was almost near empty..

Tom, have you seen any improvement as of yet?

Oh... then give it sometime.. plenty of people had their side effects disappear after a month or so. However in my case they never did. it just depends on the person, everyone is different. And this coming from a person who still hasn't recovered from them fully after 3 months, just try to remain calm...and to be quite honest, if i were you i wouldnt even bother with it... look into PRP... it seem very promising.. ive seen ur pics from ur previous post.. you have a vast amount of hair still....

I have experienced numbness before, mainly the day after I drink. which makes no sense to me. I still experience it and ive been off the drug for about 3 months. but nothing as severe as you have stated...how long have you been taking the meds for?

of course i forgot two times in a row to post the link.. here it is
