Bumping this question one more time. Sounds like no one who lost a lot with finasteride ever grew it back...How about success with just spironolactone and other topicals? I'm ready to chuck the propecia after almost ten months. I've backed off to .5 dosage the past few weeks because of gyno. All I'm doing is...

I'd like to keep this question alive, as I think there are several other people who really need information on this.

I know there are several people here who dropped finasteride because of side effects and went to spironolactone. I used spironolactone a couple of years ago when it was the only dht inhibitor I was using, and within a week it was shedding out my front hairline, so I stopped. However, I'm thinking of trying it again, as...

I'd definitely like a follow up. I am on propecia for eight months now and the loss has been severe. I've lost one side of my hair in the front and it's thinned drastically, so I cut back to .5. I'm very sensitive to anti dht stuff. I've chosen to shave my head, but I'd like to think that...

check this out for skin I used this stuff when my face was cracking, oozing, bleeding, itching and a total mess on one side. Mine was eczema. It's not a scam. It works. You need to be very consistent until you turn the corner. Use the whole system and wait it out...

I shave my head now, but I am watching the left side of the front shed completely out about six inches back. I've been on Propecia for seven months and it's only getting worse ande worse. Looks like I'll never be able to grow it back. Who on here shed for such a long time complete with...

I'm in the same boat. I shave my head now, but I am watching the left side of the front shed completely out about six inches back. I've been on Propecia for seven months and it's only getting worse ande worse. Looks like I'll never be able to grow it back. Who on here shed for such a long...

I'm claiming the shave for the average, normal guy! It's SO much better than trying to do the toppik/combover every morning. I'm 23 and all of my friends have mops of hair. So...it sucks. I'd still rather look the world in the face and say, "Yep, I'm losing it, and I'm moving on. Deal with...

I've been shaving my head now for a couple of weeks. I'm hoping to grow it back some day if it recovers. I'm probably a Norwood 3V at age 23 now. I've lost all the hair on one side in the front but the other side is fairly good but thin. I think Propecia caused this, as my shed on the stuff...

I know I should wear a hat, but my skin is so white and my hair's so dark, it really looks pretty stark. I'm being careful not to burn, but I don't want to kill what hair I have. This would be an interesting topic to research, no?

My head's been shaved for several days now. I'm loving it. You can see that the top and back are definitely a finer hair and have thinned out a lot, and my hair's almost black so the world knows, but all the responses I'm getting to this new look are great, and I'm happy for the first time in...

Haven't posted here for a long time. I saw this thread, tho, and had to jump in. I shaved down to the skin last night. Aside from some razor burn, I'm surprised at how good it looks! I get a shadow after a few hours, so I'm going to have to shave every day -- I'm real thin on the top now...

Okay, admin, are you going to do anything about this jerk???

month 7 Month seven of propecia and still shedding all over. Hair looks like sh*t. Shaving my head in a week and half. Hoping reduction of stress and this f***ing propecia will finally grow something back. 23 and rapidly balding. Styling is a joke. Sorry...Need an attitude check. Just venting.

for TB TB: It is possible that propecia/finasteride is not good for you because it tweaks the hormone levels and can cause depression, especially if you're taking antidepressants, which also alter hormones. If you go off the pill for a time, and although you have less hair, you feel lots...
