I wonder if that's what contributed to my hairloss? I was on trazadone (spelling?) for some of my 9th grade year....then off of it the following summer. Back on it my 10th grade year...off of it the following summer. Took it for the first 6 months of my junior year (and then stopped taking it completely) The reason I took it only during the school year is b/c mom and the doctors had me convinced it was sleeping medication. (I would only take it at night, as 2 pills wold put me to sleep in 15 mins.) I stopped taking it after January my junior year in high school... didn't take it senior year (I don't recall?) And now I'm going onto my sophomore year in college. (Dealing with all these hair issues, mental issues etc) If the trazodone ruined my hair in the first place, I don't want to take it again! I'm so confused and ill! Its driving me mad.

I'm still trying to weigh out my options. But yeh I'm wondering the same thing as the guy above me.

So you do recommend it?

I used to workout all the time, but now that I have to buy my propecia, I no longer have money for my gym contract (it ended in april) I don't want to take antidepressants/anxiety/ocd meds for life, just take it long enough to balance my brain chemicals back to normal. I don't know what norwood scale I am? And I don't even know what a uriologist is? I went and saw a dermatologist and that's how I got the propecia.

Interesting. Well its obvious that its working for my hair (even after 2 months) but I'm scared of how its making me thing/feel. Plus I don't like the whole concept of having ED at 19. That won't work. But I need the hair if I want to pursue the industry I want to pursue. So if only the therapist could give me some depression/anxiety/ocd medication that balances my brain back to normal after propecia screws it up. I'm in such a jam. Its also a plus that I have no insurance and I get paid $7.45/hour! So all this mess is killing my check every week! Ugh!

I knew it was too good to be true. So just stick with rogaine foam if I kick propecia to the curb?

I feel like propecia is giving me depression, anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder type feelings/thoughts/etc. I wonder if it is chemically inbalancing my brain somehow? Could I take medication for depression/anxiety/ocd ALONG WITH propecia? B/c the propecia (or rogaine?) seems to be working on my hair but I'm not liking the mood swings, anxiety, etc so can I combine the two and let my problems be solved? I'm going crazy! Help?!

Has anyone tried or heard of provillus? Do you think it would work? I think the propecia is giving me bad mental side effects & I want to try something else. Help!

I don't know what to do anymore. All I know is I've never really felt like this until I started the propecia. I'm just hoping that if the 2-3 months of propecia screwed my brain up chemically, then the shrink can give me something to balance it back out to normal? Then maybe I could take the propecia/anxiety meds together and have a good mental state w/ a head full of hair and morning wood!! All three together would be quite nice.

I thank you so much for your detailed response. I'm going to not take propecia for the next week (starting yesterday) to see if the mental confusion clears up. However I'm scared if I tell my dermatologist about the mental symptoms I'm having, that she'll take me off the meds & won't give me a script anymore. I need it. I need my hair to grow but my mind is just acting different and the timeline fits pretty good. Idk what to do. is this ED thing only for the first few months? Or perminent? & will i no longer be able to make babies. (Although I'm only 19 & not thinking about kids now, just thinking about the future.)

Mahhong, thank u so much for that long detailed answer. The thing is, I've always kindve felt like I had a tiny mini case of OCD and it just got waaaaaaay worse when I started taking this medicine. Another thing that worries me is that I read stuff online about some guys who have permanent ED problems and aren't able to make babies. Plus its harder for them to lose weight and gain muscle. This is extra hard for me considering I'm trying to break in the modeling/acting/entertainment industry. Where I need the perfect hair, body and everything. Could I take anxiety/ocd medicine WITH my procepia to balance things out?

Well I'm supposed to see a therapist the 19th and my dermatologist the 21st. I just have a gut feeling its the propecia. & now yesterday I've noticed I haven't been waking up with a hard on. Is my dick done for good now?

I've seen hair regrowth. I want the hair to continue to grow. I want to stop taking the pill, b/c I feel its making me crazy. All of this started 3 weeks after I took my first pill and its ruining my whole summer. I'm asking you this: do you think being on this pill for <70 days is making my hair grow or is it the foam? (On my 3rd can) I want to stop the pill, continue the foam, and get these results w/out my depressive mood swings/ mental ocd behavior.

??????????????? The results I'm talking about is the hairgrowth I'm seeing. Is it from the foam or the pill. I wanna stop the pill b/c I feel its messing with my brain chemically and I'm going crazy What I'm asking is if its possible to see propecia results after 2 months. Or is the foam doing the job??
