Hi all, I thought I would send out a final update on my progress after being off Propecia for 2 years. I am doing this partly because I don't want to leave people "hanging" - I am still getting several private messages on here and don't check them often. Below is a url from a previous posts...

So anyone add Sprio to Proxiphen Rx with much success or is that overkill since Proxiphen Rx contains some spironolactone already? Im looking to keep the hair I have/slow down the balding progress...

Re: 10 Year Propecia User - Quit Jan 2010 DoctorHouse, Thanks for the reply. In regards to the side effects - the physical/sexual sides have pretty much gone. The main side that made me quit was testicular pain (prostatitis). I also notice I have dreams now when before I didnt. I am noticing...

Hi all, So I quit using Propecia cold turkey in Jan 2010 after using it for 10 years. I took pictures of what my hair looked like back in Jan right when I quit for reference, which are posted in the url below along with my original story - viewtopic.php?f=28&t=57116&st=0&sk=t&sd=a Below are...

Thanks for all the replies thus far. I am just going to try one more time and see if I get responses to this question: "Are there any individuals on this board who were able to maintain their hair for months/years after quiting finasteride by using non oral alternative regimens?"

Thanks for the replies: Finfigher: Doh! Please don’t tell me that! Also I wouldn’t consider my dad at 67 very bald right now except in his crown area so I am hoping at least I won’t be worse than him at 35 but then again my great grandfather on my dad's side was more bald than my dad so...

Is there anyone on this forum who took Propecia for several years like me and got off of it? If so, can you let me know what products or regimen you started using after you quit Propecia in an attempt to keep the hair or save the hair you had while on propecia? Any successes? Best Regards, Brix

Thanks for the reply. This seems like a reoccuring comment with RU - "Keep in mind that the drug has never been tested for safety in humans so use it a your own risk" It makes me hesitant to get it. Does anyone else have any advice? Thanks in advance. Brix

Hi all, I've recently been off Propecia for a week due to the side effects finally catching up to me after 10+ years of use. When I was in my mid 20s I noticed my hair thinning (I'm 35 now) my Derm at the time prescribed Propecia for me and I have been taking it pretty consistently for the last...
