Thanks for the candor. I think I might be OK with going back to where I was when I started finasteride and naturally progressing from there, but I know it doesn't work that way. The real reason I'm thinking of getting off it is that my girlfriend is starting to talk about wanting to get...

Just curious. I'm 50 years old, and I've been on it for about five years, and it has moved me a notch of two up the Norwood scale (before I was a bad Norwood 3V; now I'm a good Norwood 3v- hard to explain as my hair is very curly and frizzy, but it is a noticeable difference) Not experiencing...

Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of that.

That is a concern of mine. I wonder if I've just come to take for granted the fact that my hair stays the same now. I remember when I started finasteride. I'd been a long-haired, pony-tailed hippy for pretty much my entire adult life, and I had no idea that I was balding until I did the...

The reason I ask is that I’m thinking of cutting down and maybe even getting off of it- not because of the sides; my experience with it has been pretty good: good hair, no sides. I’m just not sure that I want to stay on it forever. I just turned 50, and I’ve been on finasteride for about five...

Thanks for the insights. What about all of these horror stories I've seen about people going off the finasteride and having their whole testosterone system crash? How worried about that should I be?

Thanks for the insight. I know this is an impossible question, but what is the longest amount of time I could stay off it and still stay or get back to where I am now?

I've been on finasteride for about four years; it's the only thing I use to treat hair loss, and it's worked great. Now, my girlfriend wants to get pregnant, so I'm thinking of going off it at least for a period of time. If anyone can help me out with the following questions, I'd be very...

I've been on finasteride for about 15 months and have seen some positive effects hair-wise. Just recently started getting some side effects. Maybe the sides are in my head, maybe not, but I've gotten kind of spooked. I'm thinking of weaning off the finasteride and going with spironolactone and revivogen topicals...

Started using tricomin about a month ago. I can't tell for sure, but it seems like the bald spot might be enlarging and the rest of the crown might be thinning. I've read some great reviews on tricomin but some really really bad ones too, as in people claiming that it severely aggravated their...
