....so guys can i go for HT without propecia...
short answer - yes you can.

foreveryung,
Leeson gave you the best advice. just ride it out. it could have been just a simple shedding stage for you. it takes 3-4 months for the shedded hair to come back. sheds are very common while you on hairloss drugs hence the term rollercoaster ride.

Well I see A LOT of vellus hairs popping up but the shed is still bad, my hair has become limp and thin all over (sides, back). I really hope I recover from this.

If you are looking for volume first off stop WETTING your hair or putting all that gel in your hair that smushs down you hair ... of course you have no volume when you wet or gel your hair life some mafia dude. Blow dry it, comb it .. get some volume in it if thats what you want.

Propecia is not some miracle drug that allows you to hang onto hair that is so fragile that if you discontinue it for four days it falls our for ever. Hairs that are on the outs mostly go through some minaturization and thinning before they are gone forever.

You will probably lose the vellus hair in the future so it is unlikely that you will hang onto those in the coming years. Best you can do is take your meds, check out what your other male relatives look like on their chrome at the wedding to see what might happen to you in the future, and possibly consider a hair transplant in 10-15 years if you are not happy where your hair ended up.

Well I stuck with it and me thinks my hair is getting better after the current pictures. I still think I might have T.E. due to the physical stress I suffered a month and a half ago. My hair is still growing in but it has become brittle and shiny all over with just being thin all over.

Hi Forever,

I had the same problem with propecia few months ago. I was so scared that I stopped taking the pill. I was just curious to know if you had more luck and regained your hair. Have you thought about changing the dose?

Thanks,
