Sides included pretty much all the sides you can expect from Finasteride but yeah I shed a lot of hair while on it. I shaved my head so it wasn't as obvious how much hair was being shed but looking back on it it probably did start to slow down around the 6 month mark. I just decided to come off...

Hi. I ended up quitting it due to the sides I was getting. A month later even more hair started shedding. From what I've heard itching and tingling isn't a great sign but if you're not experiencing any more side effects you might as well stick it out. I really wish I hadn't started it in the...

I'm a bit too embarrassed to post photos and I didn't take any before starting the medication. I had thick hair all over apart from my crown which was thinning a bit. I now have thin hair all over and a balding spot on the top of my head. What's your experience?

No like an absolute idiot I didn't. I should get them tested now then? Is it possible to regain any hair lost if I come off it?

How long until it started to grow back? Did you experience any texture change of your hair at all? Mine went really dry and frizzy before it started to fall out. Did you get any sides at all?

Thanks for getting back so quickly. Doing loads of research but it seems to be a 50/50 split of give it up or stick with it and hope it grows back. What's your personal situation?

Yeah I'm losing hair on my chest and maybe even my face. This stuff is awful. Did you have any depression or anxiety on Propecia or Dutasteride? I'm getting severe depression on Propecia, clearly exacerbated by my extreme hair shedding. Is your advice to switch to Dutasteride now?

I'm just wondering if I should continue with Propecia or if it is having an adverse effect. Can it cause Telogen Effluvium and is that reversible by discontinuing Propecia?

Thanks for replying. Did you manage to gain back the hair you shed on Propecia using Dutasteride? I read that side effects are stronger on that as well. Did you notice any body hair loss or other side effects with Propecia?

Don't take Propecia. The risks are massive. It's ruined my hair

Hi. Can anyone please help me. I've been taking Propecia for 5 months and have shed a massive amount of hair. I know shedding is normal but it has gone from all over including the sides. I only had a bit of thinning at the crown but now I have a balding spot appearing at the top of my head...
