I turned 18 in december,i started taking propecia 3 months prior in September.My hairloss started when i was 15 so as you can imagine at this young age it is an unbearable weight.It reached the point were i just couldnt take it anymore;thus my decision to take it 6 months ago.

However have i made a mistake?Tbh im not sure if i am fully grown and now find myself once again worried and frightenned.In reality all my family circle is short in stature.My father is about 5,7 and my mother 5,4.I currently stand at 5,7.I dont have a lot of chest hair,but do have quite a bit of facial hair.

The point is there is no way i have of being certain as to whether or not i am fully grown.And if im not,and i was to come off propecia now would i grow regardless due to its impact on DHT?

Im just so tired of turning these issues over in my mind.For me essentially hairloss triggered the end of my life.Whatever happens the future for me is an enduring suffocation of inadequacy,fear and regret

DHT is mostly crucial when you're in the womb. I wouldn't worry about taking it at your age very much.

If you've reached your fathers length, you probably won't grow much more either way. You might still grow one or two inches; but if that is the case, I don't think Finasteride will affect that.

TALK TO A DOCTOR!

Yes. VERY GOOD ADVICE! :)

Don't seek medical advice from a bunch of strangers in a discussion forum.
