Be careful, Uk_lad, propecia is a powerful drug and can hit you hard. The moment you feel and part of your head feel foggy or confused you must discontinue immediately. Just throwing this in for balance.

Many thanks for your feedback....I was thinking about starting this med but after reading your post it has put me off. Jayukdht, please read about the nature of hormones and what they are for. I only did this after I had used Propecia. Make your own decision but be clear about what you want in life.

I am 38, I have been takng propecia 1mg every day for 7-8 months with regaine foam. I heard about the warnings but carried on with the treatment out of vanity and fear of losing my hair - a woman will never look at me again if I am bald! In the UK you can purchase it online with a self-diagnosis and I got on with it. I started to notice that the mass-evacuation of hair at the front of my hairline had stopped and the general appearance had got thicker and new darker hairs were beginning to emerge in areas of receding hair at the front of my head. But..... But, there were rather disturbing side effects. I have been very demotivated at work (this was pointed out by my boss in a yearly review); my sex drive had actually increased - worringly so - but the power of orgasm was minimal, there is an itch I cannot scratch!; my head felt very disconnected and distant from ''me'', and I felt spaced out a lot of the time and events would drift pass as I sat there; I became reclusive and wouldn't go out. This feeling in my head was put down, by me (I am not a doctor), as winter blues but the feelings intensified. I felt like a stranger in my own head and that forced me to drag myself back to dramatic realisation that I needed to see a doctor. I produced propecia to my GP and she was surprised that I could buy this myself via a reputable British pharmacy, and she was staggered that it was used for hair retention purposes. She said that each individual will react to any hormonal imbalance differently but she compared it to being pregnant or pre-menstural. These are very powerful drugs, guys. I have had experience of clubbing drugs and the effects that I personally experienced are akin to a comedown that lasts 4-5 weeks. I acknowledge that some of you have used it for years without issue but I feel in necessary to share my experiences with you. If you start to feel ''diferent'' and not like how you normally are, stop it immediatey and try to stop bating yourself up about losing your hair. I am finished with the obsession of vanity and I am going to go with what my body is doing. I feel for you guys in your late teens and early 20s but PLEASE put your health first. Duncan p.s. I started to see growth after 6 months, but I stopped takin it on March 12th 2013
