Senior Member Jupiter Posted January 17, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi guys took propecia for 6 months but then quit, after i shaved my head when i got off it for a bout a month it was considerably worse. So now guys since im only 19 and propecia statisically works for the young guys such as myself, im taking pictures of day 1 on propecia and then following them up with 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 12 month photos. This way you all can honestly see from a NON-merchant, non-biased, completely and utterly true pictures from a 19 year old pothead who is trying to keep his hair lol. take it easy i thought itd be intresting becasue all the propecia pics that i see that are succesful come straight out of Mercks asshole. ~im getting a hair transplant in 2012 when im 25~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Jupiter, Are you saying that Propecia seemed to stabilize your hair loss for 6 months but after a month of nonuse your hair is considerably worse? You do realize that Propecia should be given at least 1 year in order to determine whether it is working for you? Additionally, Propecia is a commitment. If you stop the medication you will lose all benefit. Losing a lot of hair in one month after stopping Propecia would be expected if it was working for you for those 6 months to at least stabilize your hair loss. Maybe I misunderstood you. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dwayne95 Posted June 21, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted June 21, 2008 I went through a few of your photos, I'm not noticing much of a difference... and I can't really see thinning hair. It all looks pretty normal and similar to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Jupiter Posted June 21, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2008 do they pay for one prescription or the entire year supply ? ~im getting a hair transplant in 2012 when im 25~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr. Ricardo Mejia Posted June 21, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2008 I believe they pay the entire years worth. You can ask your doctor for the brochure which has the 12 month promise in it. I have not had anybody apply for a refund.

Jupiter: Can you please tell us exactly where you apply the minoxidil and what kind you use? I understand the crown has thickened up nicely but has the minox caused the front to thicken up? Are you only applying the minox on the temples and crown. Thanks!-Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mmhce Posted April 4, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted April 4, 2009 Propecia does have a 12 month money back guarantee if you see no results. I don't think that makes Jupiter feel any better Dr. Mejia. Jupiter, Get back on finasteride. It's the only advice I can give you. At the very least, it is slowing down the MPB process. take care...

AdrienArchaic Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 What about hyperandrogenicity? In this case wouldnt getting on fin make it so your hair fell out at a more rapid pace? Jupiter... I believe I had the same problem, my hair was looking great for awhile and then at about 7-10 months out of nowhere my hair turned to crap. Do people here think this is a "shed" and it will grow back? My crown has never been thin, and now it is thin, I was using propecia for a receding hairline and to maintain and make my hair thicker all around. What does everyone think?
