Guys,
I havent used either but my hair has noticeably thinned and it has me so pissed right now. My question is if using Proscar or Propecia, will my hair simply quit fallng out or will the hair that I have loss come back too thus, stopping the good hair from falling out? Thanks.
proscar/propecia, same thing. 5mg vs 1mg. take 1mg for treatment of mpb. basically it should stop or slow the thinning. wont do much for back of head...but may do some.
why not 5Quote:

so what about helping loss hair grow back,..does it do that too or just slow what hair you have left from falling out!Quote:

I haVE a doc appt coming up,..i guess he will feel me on what i need to know,.i could kill someone right now!
never know...ive run into some assclown docs. just wanted a fresh script once before leaving country...and doctor advised me to not take propecia cause my wang would fall off :aajack: hate that faggot :bs: Just do your research, tell him what you want and listen him his advise only if he is an expert (chances are he wont have a clue).Quote:

Propecia does induce hair to grow back after 3-5 months of use. But the new follicles will all fall out again when the drug is stopped.
Now you know why so many men are on this crap for the long haul.
