Comment:
I have been satisfied with Vaniqa and want to continue its use, but find it so expensive that I may quit. Are there any generics out there yet that would better priced since my insurance does not pay for any of it?

Comment:
Very effective within 7 weeks of starting. But: Trials seem to have been done over only 12 months, and hair growth is said to restart within 7 weeks of stopping application. So now I am faced with a lifetime on Vaniqa. What should I really do? Any suggestions? Or advice?
