Hi all,
I'm new here and desperately looking for any advice you can give!
Long story short: I was taking finasteride for about 9 years (2005-2014) and came off it 2 years ago (Sept 2014) as I was experiencing what I believe to be fertility problems caused by it. This improved considerably and we now have a new baby.
While I was on finasteride I didn't experience any regrowth, but I did maintain the 2005 hair I had I guess about 95% by 2014. I believe I experienced no sides. In the two years since coming off it has got notably worse but still nowhere near as bad as I feared. I'd say I'm now 80-85% of the 2005 hair.
Every now and then I look in the mirror and perhaps notice a bit more thinning so I know that very slowly it is getting worse. I obviously don't want it to, hence am considering going back on finasteride.
My question is: has anyone got experience of being on finasteride for a long time, coming off it for around 2 years then going on again? Is this a good idea or a terrible idea? Will I likely regrow/maintain/experience sides etc.?
Thanks in advance for all help and advice!
