iv been taking 0.5mg of finpecia for a few months now and have had NO SIDES whatsoever
not sure whether its helping with the hair though tbh, still getting hairs drop out so could easily still be receeding but atleast im trying to do something about it, i shall stick with it
im going on holiday this thursday and i wondered if im going to be able to take my FINPECIA with me? is it an approved drug? i dont want to stop taking it for a week?
travelling from stansted london
any help much appreciated

Keep us posted. I know it will be difficult but try not to think about it too much!
yeh definitely, thats the key i think, otherwise i'll end up attributing anything and everything i feel to the damn things
starting on just one this week, then two next week, 3 on the third week etc, to hopefully ease into it

popped my first .5mg today guys

You got to give it a shot.
THink of it this way, hair loss is progressive, it will get worse and worse, not in a linear fashion, it might stabilise for a while then go nuts and lose a shed load more. The best thing you can do is give some kind of 'insurance' and protect what you do have from DHT.
It will certainly be a good investment for the future.
I think I got a shed some months in I can't remember,
good luck
exactly, if i sit back and do nothing and lose alot of hair, i will majorrly regret not atleast TRYING to slow it down or stop it
its worth a shot, it has to be
Will let you know how i get on, cheers buddy

Without doubt finpecia has not only closed the gap with some sparse hair loss in the crown vertex but also it has stopped the little hairs I used to find alarmingly on my pillow daily, i.e miniturization. I've had no sides I used the taper schedule from uk finasteride it worked a treat,
how long you been on it mate? and did you have any major 'Shed' that i have read time and time again that happens
more so into month 4 apparently, wont be looking forward to that!

fingers crossed it works for me
dont really think i have a problem on the crown just yet, its the hairline, and i know that fin/propecia ISNT proven to help on the hairline, but hey, if i get on it now and save any future loss on the top/crown then it will hold me in better sted should i go down the Hair Transplant route
just be good if it does slow down/stop the receeding hairline, i can only hope!

Was that from that UKfinisteride site?
yep mate thats the one

The doc will tell you if you're a candidate. Essentially if he is willing to do the procedure then you are a suitable candidate. Unfortunately you're right that it costs more. This is because its a more difficult procedure from the Drs perspective but from your perspective its less invasive and results in less scarring.
i'll try to get a quote for the same procedure under FUE too
-
sufcfed, if you're a good fue candidate I would give a lot of thought to going that route. They say the cons of fue are lower yield and less efficient use of limited donor supply but I'm not sure that's correct with the right doc.
how would you know if your a good candidate for FUE? apparently id be able to have either
also is the cost ALOT more?

0.25mg on a finpecia tablet isalmost impossible to acieve cutting that tiny pill into 4's is really not worth the hassle. you might get away with 0.5mg i.e half a tab.
If you are really that bothered about taking the smallest amount to caox yourself into it. 0.5mg is low enough, just titrate yourself up taking more tabs each week
i.e for example
week 1 - 1x0.5mg
week 2 2x 05mg say one on monday one on thursday nice and far aaprt within the week.
week 3 3x 0.5mg and so on]]carry on until you are taking 0.5mg every day this will be over the space of seven weeks and you will still be at sub therapeutic dosages.
then start going up to 1mg
so again week 1 - 1x1mg
week 2 2x1mg and so on.
That is the ultra safe slow way to do it giving you body the most gentle exposure to the drug. This will take 14 week to get to 1mg per day
forget about 0.25mg.
I simply titrated myself from over 7 weeks using 1 more tab a week each week over 7 weeks worked a treat.

cheers buddy, are you taking finpecia yourself? any sides at all?
just opened the parcel and they have a guide which is pretty much bang on your theory so will follow it and see how it goes
So, iv now got the tablets (ordered yday may i add and they arrived next day)
Im off out tonight with a few mates, so could be heavily drinking, so im going to start on the pills monday, really hope i dont get any sides and can continue to take them to try to halt any further loss
Hows your results been so far mate?
-
Looks amazing mate! rite now, like that i wouldnt even guess youv had any surgery! crazy good! please please keep us updated
-
how am i going to cut it into quarters though?
-
By the way thanks for all your help, input to all of you, it does help to talk to people in similar situations
-
NEWHAIRPLEASE, i see youv had recent work done by Rahal, how did it go? you have any photos or anything?? be great to hear of your experience buddy, will definitely give me some insight
Thanks
-
nooooo lol 4500GBP
yeh iv looked at many different surgeons work but his is what keeps standing out to me, super results
whats your opinions on Strip vs FUE guys???
Pros & Cons? surely, with no scaring FUE is better?
the 1800 grafts for 4500GBP is strip method by the way
i have my hair like a number 3 on the sides/back, so just worry a little about the scar
-
Your hair looks great...you need to forget about a hair transplant " for now " anyway!!
honestly i just disguise it well, gust of wind and its all on show
iv had a quote from Rahal, 1800 grafts works out about ?4500?
my mum knows the situation and problem, she can tell im unhappy, and shes said she is willing to help out , even if need be a transplant
so we will see
i guess even with a transplant that propecia/finpecia is still recommended? or do people stop taking once theyv had a HT?
-
if the sides effects prove too overpowering for me then i will just admit defeat and pluck up the courage to shave my head and hope that something comes out in the near future or consider a HT later down the line
i dont really know why, but it seems really aggressive the last 6 months, this has caused me to become depressed and very very stressed which in return could be adding to the aggressivness of the receeding.
sucks big time!
-
guys iv just taken the plunge, i feel so depressed about my hair rite now i HAVE TO ACT
iv ordered 1mg finpecia (?229 for 14 months supply)
im going to cut the pills in two so im taking .5mg per day (is it ok to do .5mg EACH day?)
WISH ME LUCK

Cardboard cutter.
Definitely 0.25 is better for starting, if no side-effects show, you can augment the dosage. Don't do it unless you have done a general endocrine examination before and are being supervised by a doctor.
Is the test and docs really critical? :confused: really dont want to go to the docs if i can avoid it
if i feel any side effects id simply come off it?
-
ok guys im going to order the 13 month supply of ''finpecia - 1mg finasteride''
Is this the correct item to order? ideally id want to take .25mg each day and see how i go with side effects etc
therefor im going to need some kind of cutter that will cut the 1mg into 4 x .25mg , any recommendations???
oh btw the 13 month supply is going to cost me ?229, but as i'll be cutting into 4 its gonna be more like 4 years worth
any recommendations on the best cutter would be highly appreciated
Thanks

guys been reading lots again today, seem like sooooo many people suffer side effects loss of libido being the main one, would hate this!
so i was thinking IF i do order generic fin 1mg, how about halfing them and taking 0.5mg a day and see how it goes?
-
Fingers crossed!!!! will let you know if and when i order anyways
-
will do mate, been reading up alot more about finasteride tonight, it does sound promising, the only thing that freaks the hell out of me is the amount of people who report an initial big shedding of hair in the first few months if that happened then id may aswell shave it off at that point
