So I'm about to turn 19. I've always had fine hair and a high hairline, so losing my hair at a young age as my father did in his early twenties scared me. As soon as I realized my hair was thinning, I decided to get on propecia about 1mg to 1.25mg a day (since i'm doing the whole cut the 5mg tabs into 1/4s). Now I just found out that propecia has a 5 year effectiveness span, and I'm starting to think that I really screwed myself over. Since, that means by the time i'll be 23, I'll start to rapidly lose my hair.
What do you guys think I should do. I still have hair, it's mainly receeding a little around the temples, and I took the propecia in order to 'hold the hair', if that makes any sense. Is there anyway, I can get off propecia without causing anymore hair loss, and then start using it later in my life, when my hair loss is much more present. Can I start using rogaine instead?
I need some advice...ughh, help me!
thanks,
Nestito.
