Stopping Propecia

[Luminal]

I've been taking Propecia for about a year and a half. I haven't really noticed any major change or difference so I'm starting to wonder if it is really worth the 60$ a month.

 

However, it is possible that if I was not taking Propicia my hairloss would be a lot worse. My question is, if Propecia has actually been preventing some of my hairloss and I stopped taking propecia, I will lose that hair that Propecia was preventing from falling right? If later on I notice that Propecia was in fact working, is there any chance that hair will grow back if I re-start taking propecia again?

 

Thanks,

Yes. If you've kept anything because of taking Finasteride (Propecia), and you stop taking it, anything you've kept or gained will leave you pretty quick

I'll tell you what I've heard..........once it's gone it's much tougher to get it to grow back. You have a difficult decision to make. Before going off of Finasteride, I'd recommend you consult with the Doc who prescribed it for you to see if they can determine if it's helped you. For this reason, if a person is really interested in tracking the effectiveness of the drug, taking periodic pictures is a must.
