Been off Propecia a week..Interesting things I have noticed

[TTThomasaz1]

I recently quit taking propecia. I had been on it 3 years. Iwill say that I really believe it had its best affects after year 1..But as the past 2 years, it seems i have really gone down hill. Here are some things I have noticed pretty quick already..

1. My hair used to pull out very easy all over my head when i was on propecia. Easily 3-5 hairs when I pulled. Now that im off propecia, I really dont pull any out.

2. Acne looks better on face

Im a big supporter pf propecia and would recommend it. Only thing I can think of is that propecia always had me in a Telogen Effluvium phase. I continue to use rogaine liquid twice a day and hope to see where I am in 3 months. I can honestly say Im worse now than when I started propecia 3 years ago. Maybe propecia just doesnt work for me. I do kinda believe that it can accelerate male pattern baldness if you really dont need it. My hair got substantially worse in the first 8 months I was on Propecia but then recovered at the year mark. Seems as if it has slowly deterioted since. Maybe rogaine will be enough for me since I wasnt that bad when I started. Anyone have any thoughts on my story?

these 1 week reports are silly mate. If you do something for 3 years i bet the finasteride it barely even out of your system yet. I know the half-life is like 72 hours. Afterwards im sure it took a bit of adjusting. The effects on your actual hair (not hormones) thus far is surely nothing. Almost certainly.

I made a similar post when i stopped minoxidil. After 3 week i felt awesome. Little did i know the shed 3 months later almost left me fecking bald (it grew back...but i did go back on minoxidil)


hard to tell if finasteride worked for you or not mate, but if it did you might find out hte hard way over the course of the next 6-8 months...

not trying to scare u mate lol

if you are thinking of going off something all i say it do it gradually. a shock shed is not what you want

i myself am going down to .5mg of finasteride a day, im like you, not convinced its helped at all but gotta play it smart!
