Propecia help please

[Guest]

Can anyone post how long it was before they noticed hair loss stopping once they started taking Propecia? I am very curious. Do you also find that Propecia let you keep all the hair that you had on the day you started taking it? I would really like to hear from some Propecia verterans. Please help. thanks in advance!

MJ,

I remember having what seemed like some initial crown area shedding once I 1st started using Propecia, it seemed like a negative, however after appx 6 months I remember feeling new "stubble" in my crown area, and ultimately the stubble became regular growing hair and seemed just a bit denser. The big news is that this hair has remained and overall my hair-loss has completely stopped (after one full year). My hopes and expectations were to stop the loss, and I am satisfied it has, I did not notice any "big" improvements in new growth only very subtle improvements....I thought I should respond to your post since I do remember a few months of initial shedding, overall I am very happy I started Propecia therapy when I did, I could have lost more. BTW I do not use Rogaine, this is not in any way an opinion against it, but helps isolate my Propecia experience. I rememeber my Doc said give it at a min 6-12 months to work and then evaluate........Good Luck !!

 

P.S.: excluding a successful Hair transplant, Propecia is (in my opinion) the best treatment option at this time.
