  1. Hi Thanks for the replies, Spex & UK R - thank you for the advice here, and the video, I take it that that Proscar is what you can use instead of Propecia?? Are you also saying that you can get a generic 1mg of finasteride as well? If so please can you advise on where I should get these from? I don't want to spend money down the drain. I would prefer not to cut tablets up but if that saves a lot of money its something I can live with. I think I will look into getting some soon.
  2. Hi, Thanks everyone for the advice here. Looks like I am an ideal candidate to get on propecia, I managed to get a local doctor to have a look at me who has treated hair loss with medication in the past fairly well. he thinks the minimal loss in thickness on my crown might well thicken up nicely in time. So I got some regaine I know its expensive from Boots but couldn't wait to try , it nice and easy and make the hair look ok actually. I looked into getting some Propecia the Doctor said it was gonna cost me around ?60 a month 3 months at a time. That's over ?700 a month! It's quite a financial commitment for the rest of your life, I did not factor paying that much a year for a hair loss drug. I guess it's worth it if it makes you feel better inside. I heard about some negative side effects such as sex drive issues, which would put me off a little, is this quite common? would appreciate any replies, this place is very good
  3. Hello, I would be grateful if someone could explain in their opinion what would be the best route to go down for my situation. Im basically only this past 3 months or so started to notice a thinning on the top of my head, its ok at the mo but under a light you def start to see its starting to go bald, I'm weary that I will have a big bald spot in the next year or so. I suppose it starte a while back but you never really get to see the top of your head and it wasnt until a few work mates said 'looks like your going as well!' I have not taken any medication or pills etc this really is the first time im starting to actually do something about this. I was wandering what is the best way to go? I know about regain which looks like it works I was thinking of getting some from boots soon, but I have also heard of some pills you can take as well. I would be very grateful if someone could advise on what they think would be the best way to go. I don't have much issue with budget as long as I know its gonna actually work.
