prozak

has anyone experienced head ache side effects from pro ??? been on it for 3 1/2 months (1mg) stopped due to sexual sides, started again after returning to normal (1 week) and re started on 0.5mg after 10 days the sides were back (not as bad) but with headaches ??? i continued for a couple of weeks but decided to stop again to let myself return to normal but it seems to be taking longer and i have had the same re accouring head ache every day since , my erections are slowly coming back after nearly 2 weeks but the head aches remain ? i was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this ?? any help ?

on another note i was wondering what your results have been like, i've been on pro for 3 1/2 months stopping for 2 weeks due to sides. I feel the hairloss has slowed some but no signs of regrowth, also i think i had a shed in the first 2 months mainly in the front (well thats where it shows more) but no sign of this coming back ??? i here that the dormant hair takes 6 weeks to grow back so i should be seeing some results by now right ? im definaly still getting thinner on top but dont know if its from shed or continued hairloss (im a low nw3) i have only been on treatment for 3 1/2 months so im probably being a tad hastey but the sides are making me impatient, i know you guys have been on the treatment for quite a while and could probably put my mind at ease. thanks

well im currently on 0.5mg daily but planning to change soon, im having problems maintaing an erection and headaches, so im going to stop for a week again to get back normal and then go with the 0.5mg m/w/f , to be honest i havent really given the sides any time to recover as they are supposed to with time??? but if 0.5mg mwf is as effective as 1mg daily its a no brainer . im guessing this should sort out the sides as the smaller dose did give less sides for me when i changed from 1mg . T.C did you ever have any problems returning to normal whilst experimenting with the doseage or did you just continue the treatment but change the dose??? it really is a suprise to me that 0.5mg m/w/f works so well when you consider that you are only taking 1.5mg a week and the recomended doseage is 7mg a week !!! guess it show how potent the drug is.

Hi T.C , same as me , i had bad sides on 1mg, i switched to 0.5mg daily but still get the sides but not as bad, what you say does seem to make sense though , ive heard it reduces dht for 72 hours and i also heard doctors say that a half dose is 80 % as successful as 1mg so 0.5mg would seem to work if you look at it like that. I was wondering what your results have been like thus for , how long have you been taking propecia in total ? how long on the low dose? have the sides gone ? has the hair loss stopped ? etc.... sorry lots of questions but it sounds like you are a similar case to myself ! also what stage is your balding at ?? many thanks.

if you still had bad sides on this low dose surely it was still doing something to your body? so what makes you think a lower dose than this would be inafective what do you think causes the sides like ED ? it must be the reduction of hormones right ! so while you experience said sides the drug must be working. I have read that people experience sides after increasing their dosage from 1mg to a higher dose so maybe the RECOMENDED dose is just worked out for the majority that dont get the sides and not how much your body needs to block the DHT, they are trying to sell these drugs after all!

did you ever try anything other than daily doses ? and also how long did you suffer the sides before you desided to stop? Many people say that the sides will disapear in time and i have found many people say that the sides will go if you change the doseage to every other day on a lower dose not every day on a lowe dose ?

ive had bad sexually sides on 1mg fin daily so continued on a lower dose (0.5mg) after stopping (back to normal in a week).The sides have come back but dont seem as bad , does this mean that if i continue lowering the dose until the sides stop this will be MY recomended dose . Everyone is different and maybe the people who experience the sides are just more sensitive to the drug so require a smaller dose ? im guessing the only way to know would be to take a blood test and see what the dht levels are on various doses , i bet these results would be massivly different from one person to the next . So just say i lowered my dose to 0.1mg a day and still had sides would this mean that the drug was still being effective at this dose???? is there a relation to the sides and the drug working in the body (dht levels). ???

Hi serious, im interested in your method of reducing the dosage, i'd been taking propecia for 3 months when the sides started ( erection problems), i stopped and the went away after a week so i started again a week after that on a lower dose of 0.5mg daily, but they came back a week after that but not as bad , im going to try this for longer now i have the peace of mind that the sides DO go away. what are your views on this and what do you think is a good method to get rid of the sides, have you ever tried viagra??
