Been on it for 15 years, slowed down my recession immeasurably. Just got off it and hair was ruined. Check my story, just posted.

OK, how can I tell this story succinctly. 2016 was an asspit of a year for me, a bunch of really bad things happened and I got seriously depressed. Never been in my life but here I was, not wanting to do anything and if you can rationalize this, stopped taking my finasteride 1.25 every day for...

While you are thick-headed for sure, there is a tiny patch that could grow. Happens to the best of us, I'd ride it out another 6 mo. or so and then revisit. But yes, you have more hair than virtually anyone on this board.

Looks much thicker longer, keep it at that length as you appear to be losing slowly from the front-to-back. My recession is the Jude Law-type, yours should be fine but jump on finasteride for the heck of it, saved my hair.

Read my testimonial posted recently, slowed down the thinning and has restored enough crown to not make it much of an issue. Been taking it over 15 years now, but my recent mis-dosage screwed things up quickly with a fairly quick fix after dosage corrected. Testimonial is up in forum.

Never minoxidil, too lazy frankly. Take a pill like a vitamin and presto, thicker hair for me. Key though: took it very early in the game to slooooow down the process and it has done just that. My hair looks like Clooney's in say The American, thinning but no one would think thinning. Credit it to...

Don't believe that for a second, when I reduced, hair thinned. 1mg is the dose to take, or in my case a bit over. Don't cheap out, you'll pay more.

I took it initially to slow down hair-loss process, it did just that but I can't recall if it regrew hair as it wasn't that bad looking at the time – preemptive strike due to the fact that my maternal grandfather had a Jude Law hairline in his early thirties. I attest the regrowth this time...

Ha! Wonder drug here!

So here's the quick story: started taking finasteride back in 2001, started as Propecia, then got 5mg finasteride to cut into quarters soon after. Took religiously for 14 years until disaster, new pharmacy switched fron finasteride 5mg to finasteride 1mg without telling me; pill same size! No granted, the color was...

Used whey for 20+ years and hair unaffected, finasteride key to any/all stoppage though.

Anyone here use finasteride for years, go off for a bit, and then back on? How'd it play, lose hair, regrowth?

In my experience, finasteride thickens it all up, the sooner you jump on, the better.

hair transplant for sure, anyone/everyone in HW has.

Stress is a killer, try to chill and get to a derm FASTER, finasteride absolutely works as I recently dropped my dose and noticed thinning quickly. It's the #1 defense, period.
