Propecia Shed

[sirfartsalot]

Hello!

I recently quit Propecia due to the side effects that i was experiencing (difficulty maintaining and achieving an erection) after roughly 2 months on it. I was experiencing a pretty big shed and I was wondering if after quitting the drug, will what i shed grow back???

Thanks a bunch guys!

Hello,

What you grew because of the drug , will be lost after quitting the drug.

so no , it won't grow back unless you resume the treatment.

While mr the hairy monkey is very much correct that what you grow on treatment will ultimately fall out and not return after quitting treatment, I highly doubt that you got much regrowth in two months to the point where it all fell out. I could be wrong, but two months seems like an awfully short time to have grown a bunch of hair and lost it. It's probably just your body going back on its normal shedding cycle, which was probably heightened when more DHT was introduced to your scalp after you went off your DHT blocker, Propecia.

Finasteride will only make your hair better than it would be otherwise, not worse (in the long term)

Hair grows in cycles. It grows for a certain amount of time, and then it will shed. Male pattern baldness is caused by DHT getting into the scalp and choking off the hair follicles that are sensitive to the DHT causing the hair to thin in a distinct pattern that was decided the moment you were conceived. So your hair will likely grow back, but it will be thinner and thinner until they're almost peach fuzz, and then they just aren't there anymore. So, to answer your question, your hair will most likely grow back, but since you're no longer on treatment, it will grow back thinner. DHT also causes the hair growth cycle to shorten, hence the reason that some men suffer from very aggressive male pattern baldness.
