How does one know if they are one of the few who are having a bad reaction to Propecia?
I have been taking it for two months and I am debating on whether or not I should quit. I have been battling side effects and accelerated hair loss and I am apprehensive about making my situation worse by continuing with the treatment. I want to have faith in the positive reports but it is disconcerting when I read statements like "Propecia ruined my hairline!" from people who seem to have had my exact experience early on with this drug.
I think my body might not be adjusting the medication since I have developed acne for the first time in my life. My scalp is crazy itchy and I think that the hair loss I have been experiencing is more serious than the normal shedding described by others. I don't think I have reflex hyperandrogenicity though, since my libido still isn't 100% and morning erections are non-existent.
Have any of these negative posters stuck with their regimen and later recanted their statements? Propecia can't possibly cause permanent hair loss, can it?
Here is an example of such reports:

Thanks.
(note, I am 24 and currently on 0.75 mg of name brand Propecia. I have been tweaking the dosage to find a balance between baldness and impotence. I am going to try and stay on a consistent dose from this point on.)
