Regular Member kjp Posted February 18, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted February 18, 2006 I have been on propecia for 8 years. I must say the first five years i really kept all my remaining hair and it totally slowed down hair loss if not stopped it. The last 2 years i have noticed i have began to shep alot more hair and my crown and gotten thin. I talked To Dr, bernstein last week and he explained the bell curve of propecia after 5 or 6 yrs it loses it effectiness taking 1 mg a day. He recommened i start taking Proscar 5mg every other day or two propecia's a day. Has anyone tried this and does it work? It just seems like a large dose but he told me it should help me . Any remarks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member kg007 Posted February 19, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2006 Stop taking it for 2 weeks, let it get through your system, and get back on normal 1 mg dose. Follow this every 6 months to 1 yr. If you talk to Dr. Bernstein, ask him what he thinks about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted February 19, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hi I've been on it for a while as well but never had a problem other than one shedding incident. I do not think their is any evidence of Propecia losing it's effectiviness over time . Maybe it's just shedding?

Senior Member dhuge67 Posted February 19, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2006 1 - 5 mg of Propecia is not a large dose at all. Think of all of the other nutrients that we need 1,000-3,000 mgs of to see any impact. 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ.

london20sumthin Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Dangerous analogy dhuge67... a few milligrams of neurotoxins and a great many other substances can kill within seconds (e.g. snake venoms, cyanides, as well a great number of faceless everyday chemicals); pharmaceutical agents are not nutritious. Your body has evolved over time to survive the torturous impacts nature has thrown at it: beware of screwing with the equilibrium- the axiom of "less is always more" rings true as far as drug supplementing by otherwise healthy individuals is concerned. Be careful; the scienfic community's jury is still out even on matters that appear to be concluded and safe from the available literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
