Ok, 28 now been on finasteride for I think 7 years. When I started out nobody could see I was losing hair, only I was sure it was getting thinner. Now in the last year it has thinned quite a lot, I noticed I'm a diffuse thinner and if I comb it back it is clearly visible. Also my crown is getting a...

Oh I'm not sure if it helps any, but I recently discovered I got some more chest hair as well which grew in like a 3 month period (together with my hair loss I suppose) And the thing is the hair loss is diffuse (well mostly right side), but this is not common in my family. I think if it wasn't...

I use 1mg a day or sometimes 1,25mg (proscar cut in 4)

Ok, little background story, I started using propecia 5 years ago on a rather full head of hair ( but thought I saw signs of hair loss). Now 5 years later (26, almost 27). I noticed my hair has gotten thinner on the front and just to check I looked at the crown of my head today and my oh my is...

Another bump: Hair on the crown seems to be thinning rapidly. I thought this wouldn't bother me that much anymore but I guess I thought it would be a slower process. To conclude: propecia was helping, probably going to take it again (why o why did I threw away the 100ish pills I still had left ;)).

- barely any effect on me (after 14+ months), read: none but I probably would have thinned more rapidly without propecia. - bit scared after reading all the negative side effects that people were experiencing - my side effects: more toilet breaks that's it, later on I found that my sexual drive...

Well I thought it barely had any effect on me, but after I quit after being on the drug for 18 months I am pretty confident it did help my hair a bit. As it seems to be getting thinner now (after 2+ weeks). Then again I discovered 2 things that keep me from taking propecia again: - my penis has...

Well I'm off propecia for a week now I guess. No noticable changes yet, but I am afraid me and my somewhat healthy head full of hair have to part ways in the foreseeable future. At the rate I was losing hair on propecia it wouldn't have taken more then a year either before I'd go the clippers...

Just a bump of this topic. Ok I didn't quit, but now I really am planning too, I do not have any side effects I can say with certainty that my libido hasn't gone down, nor do I have emotional swings. But just taking a pill each day which could create side effects doesn't seem like the best...

Not really, I always thought propecia wasn't that big a deal, but dutastaride seems another step higher on the messing with your health part. I think I'll just slowly lower the dose of fina and then quit in a month? Really curious how things would have looked without fina though.

Not really but I know I wasn't thinning when I started taking finasteride and I am clearly now. Ah well not going to use it for another year, only to find out it doesnt work ;). But it's just that in the back of your head you will keep wondering if another year of finasteride would have helped.

Shedding for a year? That seems a bit long to me ;).

Ok so I started using propecia when I was almost 23 (my doctor prescribed it, but wasn't happy about it), I was getting some thinning on the crown, not visible to the mere mortal eye, but I surely saw some thinning there. Everybody said I was crazy though that I was never going bald. Now I'm 24...

I got mine in like 10 days or something (that was a month ago though).

Ok so when I put it in my suitcase I will have no problems what so ever taking finasteride with me right?
