Anyone here go on/off/on Finasteride?

[hairguy21]

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

Yes I did, a bunch of times. Yeah I lost hair like hell, it was really scary. Right now i'm off finasteride, and have been off it for months, and minoxidil. I just got back on minoxidil and see results already 2 weeks in (hair shedding slowed down dramatically, almost completely). I ordered finasteride, it should come soon.

I did, and wish I never got off.

Just because you can't see visible thinning, and bald spots doesn't mean you aren't further progressing. Can be rest assured androgen activity, and diffusing is still gradually taking place.


Lost time is all.

Yup, do about 4 months on and 1-2 months off in the past year and couple months. The first 2 times were ok and maintained but this break I took definately did some damage hair wise.

Why did you guys take break from finasteride?

 

[Megnus]

I was off once. I really wish I didn't do that.
