TOPIC: Propecia for hair loss

im on propecia for 3 years. No side effects whatsoever and saved my hair. I even grew back some receeding in the front. I take the generic now and my doctor says they are saying you can start to take it every other day instead of every day.

100% agree....bad drug and FDA had approved it no less...crapolla!!!!

I've been on propecia for a month now. I have to say that my libido is slightly lowered and my Erection quality isn't as strong. MOst concerning is that I've been feeling some discomfort in my right breast area and im concerned it might be symptoms of gyneocomastia. God damn propecia why do you have to have so many side effects.

I think for the most part, the majority of people do well on this drug, but still quit after a few years on the drug because after a while, they don't care about their hair as much like they did when they were younger. I still have not accepted my baldness even though i buzzed my head down the a 0 guard. I still dream of having a full head of hair one these days from taking propecia.

Has it effected your sex drive? also how long before you stared to see results?

Any news please?

ive taken proscar for about 8 years and havent had any problems and i believe its the only reason i still have a full head of hair. I have 2 other friends that are just as happy with the product as me. thats my experience.

Gentlemen, my friend is on vacation (in South Africa). Will speak to him when he is back.

You didn't get a discomfort in your breadt area? My libido is freakin low on propecia and I'm only takin half of the 1mg pill. I guess everyone reacts differently to it

Breast

Looks very promising. Can you please find out more info for us from your friend? Where, how much and how many treatments did he do? Thx!

Imagine how low your confidence would be if I were in ur 20s and losing hair and still single!! It's easy for u to say cuz u married with kids. I'm supposed to be in my prime but I got a big add bald spot like manu ginobili. Fml

In the event you don't read all of my posts, I had lost all of my hair at my temples by age 22. I was a Norwood 3 at age 25. It's just fucking HAIR! I KNOW what having a full head of hair means to a man (Duh! I had a transplant!). Guess what? I only had the front done (it's thin but so what!!!???) and the crown is all but gone. Think I'll go on Propecia? FUCK NO!!!! NEVER!!!! To jeopardize your health for the rest of your life just isn't worth it! What good is having hair (and getting women) if you can't get a damn Erection and furthermore... may not even want sex... for life? That's too heavy a price to pay in my book. I was on Propecia for 4 months before I threw that shit in the garbage! Too bad we didn't meet earlier, I could have given you two years worth of poison.

jlmb - I've been to several hair transplant Dr's in the LA area. Two of them say its too early for me to get a transplant. I have a diffuse thinning pattern so they said I might end up looking worse if I do get a transplant. Only thing they recommend I do right now is get on propecia and/or rogaine.

You are grossly misinformed. Even the insert that comes with Propecia now states that some sexual sides may persist after discontinuation. It was not there when the drug went to market. Not everyone has these side effects. Many do. There are many lawsuits against Merk for the drug Propecia. I trashed a free 2 year supply given to me by my hair restoration surgeon. I wouldn't even give that poison to an enemy of mine that suffered from hairloss. Read a few of the links. Hell, I don't care. Do as you please. Good luck.
