    Off Propecia since May 20th...hair still in tact..

    Well I haven't been here in ages.....I really stopped obsessing over this crap. I was on the big 3 for 16 months and noticed no significant change, so I dropped Propecia May 20th and haven't touched that crap since. Anyhu, I've felt much better - sex drive is back and I don't feel like an old...

    16 months on the big 3...and I just quit Propecia

    Okay...just an update.. Been off Propecia for 21 days..well I just got a haircut today and things don't look too good. Hairline seems to be getting higher and higher. I'm going back on Propecia this Sunday (0.5mg this time around). My skyrocket libido is now back to normal, but still...

    16 months on the big 3...and I just quit Propecia

    Welll it has been 17 days since going off Propecia and I have been getting this insane scalp itch at the vertex. Shedding has also increased, as I brushed my hair this morning and about 40 hair fell into the sink. I'm thinking about going back on Propecia soon, but on a reduced dosage ... 0.5...

    16 months on the big 3...and I just quit Propecia

    Wow man. That's quite the pessimistic outlook you have there. You sound like a preachy parent more than anything. I'm more of an optimist myself...but that's just me. Honestly, how I feel is more important to me than how I look. Time is not something you can get back and being in a sedentary...

    16 months on the big 3...and I just quit Propecia

    I wouldn't really call this 'depression'. I would say for maybe the last 8 months, I have been in this 'desireless' state. I believe Propecia takes away that extra kick...that fire and drive to live and enjoy life. I think girls pick up on this too..While I was on propecia, I was barely...

    16 months on the big 3...and I just quit Propecia

    Well I haven't been here in a while. Things have been pretty good up top, but I really don't know if it is worth the 'identity change' that goes along with popping these pills we've come to know and love. I have been off Propecia for 2 weeks and I feel great - almost as good as I felt before...

    Propecia Quitters: When did your morning wood return?

    Well that's perfectly normal. From your profile, it looks like you've been on Propecia for 2 months. Same thing happens to most people - libido skyrockets. It happened to me too... Then by about months 5-6, it reverses and its kinda a downward spiral from there (in terms of libido) . I know...

    Is SLS in shampoo really that bad??? I use Nioxin

    I believe that although a person may be genetically predisposed to go bald, that there are chemicals that may speed up the male pattern baldness process for those individuals. Some of these may include, but are not limited to smoking and SLS. This is just opinion - but it does make sense.

    stop using shampoos with conditioner

    I have yet to find a shampoo that does NOT have SLS or some other derivative.. Jason's thin-to-thick claims to be all natural, but then when I checked out the ingredients, I found it had SMS, which may possibly be more damaging than SLS, but doesn’t have the controversy or history, making it...

    how long 4 Propecia to work? Real answers by users here

    It took about 6 months until I realized finasteride/min/nizoral was working for me. Started regimen mid Jan '05 and noticed complete thickening of vertex and some filling in on top by mid June '05. I probably lost a good 5-10% density the first four months, and I recovered by the 6th month. Then from...

    we need some general ethics to talk each others

    To conform to such rules on this forum would make it a pretty dull, boring, "dryer than toast" place, now wouldn't it... But then again, I'm assuming this fits your personality just perfectly... DiffuseCurse wrote: May I suggest some psychiatry? Or perhaps a mental institute? You...

    Considering Altering Regimen...should I wait?

    Good advice... I find Rogaine is much cheaper than Dr.Lees because I buy it by the 3 pack and usually online (You cannot purchase 5% minoxidil in Canada over the counter). I've been on MSM for about a week now, and I always take it after dinner. I used to get the crazy stomach pain because...

    Considering Altering Regimen...should I wait?

    I've been having good results from the big 3, but I was looking to maybe reduce dosages for a more economical approach. I mean, it's hard paying for school and books, along with this Propecia heavy taxation. I'm still looking for regrowth, but can I still cut down to maybe 0.5mg/day and...
