Hi,

Just wondering when quitting propecia, will i loose lots of hair n go bald?

i been reading stories, those people who quit will lose severe hair fall .

Is it true?


I just started taking propeica 1mg for 3 weeks now, thinking to cut it down to .5mg, will this still have benefit and convert the same dht hormones as 1mg. ?

Anyway thankyou for ur replies.

I am thinking abt getting a HT done in JAN too.

cheers

hairdude,

You have only just started taking Propecia so stopping it at this point will most likely cause no additional hair loss. Keep in mind however, that stopping Propecia will result in a loss of benefit of what the medication might have accomplished. Those who are on Propecia and have massive benefit, stopping the medication can cause massive fall-out of the hair that was being helped by finasteride.

Is there any reason why you want to stop taking the medication just at only 3 weeks? Unless you are experiencing side effects, I recommend continuing on.

Bill
