Propecia to Finpecia

[md2002]

Hi there -

I just noticed that Finpecia is MUCH cheaper than Propecia. I did a search on here and found some info, seems to be the same result wise. However, has anyone switched from Propecia to Finpecia and lost results? I guess what I am asking is will switching to Finpecia have any bad results?

Thanks!!

You can switch it safely.

My nasty additional recession/shed happened very shortly after I switched to finpecia, but that was 3 months into treatment so it could have been the natural finasteride cycle and might have happened if i'd stayed on the real stuff. No way to be sure, really. That was about 2 months ago and I'm still waiting for the nasty additional loss to reverse itself (the shed seems to have stopped, though). I'd like to hear results on this too.

Well, I am under a bit of a different situation.. About a year ago I tried (1) Propecia pill every other day instead of everyday - that seeme to cause shedding. So I went to 1 5th of Proscar everyday - that seemed to cause shedding as well. So I went back to (1) propecia everyday to try to STOP the shedding. To make a long story short I have been shedding for over a year now.

This shedding comes after successfully being on Propecia for about 7-8 years now, where shedding COMPLETELY stopped!! So I would hate to try something else and have even MORE shedding. This all could be that Propecia has lost it's effectiveness. Basically I haven't shed in 7 years, essentially stopped my hair loss and was growing hair, now all of a sudden I have been shedding like a dog for a year. I have obvious hair loss as if I never went on Propecia to begin with??? Very strange!!

I've never had a shed from anything, propecia or minoxidil. I've been on minoxidil for about 12 years now, and on propecia for about 4. I'm about to switch over to generic too because A year's supply of generic is far less than a 3 month supply of propecia..

I've honestly never even noticed a hairi ever fall off my head except when I straightened my hair back in 1995. It was falling out left and right. I think my hair transplant caused shock fallout, but I haven't noticed any hairs falling out since. Either I'm in serious denial or something is preventing stuff from falling out. But even when I first noticed I had a receeding hairline, I still never saw hairs falling out. Not when I showered, not on my pillow. Th eonly time was when I straightened my hair and touching my hair would cause 10 hairs to fall out..

I just hope my fincar is the real deal.
