Hi guys took propecia for 6 months but then quit, after i shaved my head when i got off it for a bout a month it was considerably worse. So now guys since im only 19 and propecia statisically works for the young guys such as myself, im taking pictures of day 1 on propecia and then following them up with 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 12 month photos. This way you all can honestly see from a NON-merchant, non-biased, completely and utterly true pictures from a 19 year old pothead who is trying to keep his hair lol. take it easy i thought itd be intresting becasue all the propecia pics that i see that are succesful come straight out of Mercks asshole.

Jupiter,

Are you saying that Propecia seemed to stabilize your hair loss for 6 months but after a month of nonuse your hair is considerably worse?

You do realize that Propecia should be given at least 1 year in order to determine whether it is working for you?

Additionally, Propecia is a commitment. If you stop the medication you will lose all benefit. Losing a lot of hair in one month after stopping Propecia would be expected if it was working for you for those 6 months to at least stabilize your hair loss.

Maybe I misunderstood you.

Best wishes,

Bill

I went through a few of your photos, I'm not noticing much of a difference... and I can't really see thinning hair. It all looks pretty normal and similar to me.

Propecia does have a 12 month money back guarantee if you see no results.
