bump
I'm late 20s, have almost all my hair but it's definitely been creeping back noticeably on the top corners for the last few years.
I'm bumping this thread because it inspired me to get a prescription to generic finasteride (propecia.) It's not covered by insurance, but even paying out of pocket it's only ~$65 for a 3 month supply. I've been taking it for a month or so.
The only downside is that the generic finasteride has to be split with a razor blade before use, and the pills are tiny so it's tricky to split them evenly. Also taking a drug every single day can be tough to remember, no wonder chicks aren't perfect with BC pills.
If I can keep my current head of hair for $250 a year, it's well worth it. Hope this pays off, although there's no way of telling until years later, really
