Regular Member rockrockrock Posted November 18, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted November 18, 2016 A question for any docs on the board, I've been taking Propecia for over 10 years and now it has stopped working, I've increased the dosage and this has not had any affect either. Hope to hear any thoughts/recommendations from anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted November 18, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2016 A question for any docs on the board, I've been taking Propecia for over 10 years and now it has stopped working, I've increased the dosage and this has not had any affect either. Hope to hear any thoughts/recommendations from anyone I've been on it for 12 years and not hit that point yet. I was advised to have a break from it for a week twice a year so that your body doesn't become immune to its effect. So perhaps try having a week off and reintroducing it.

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted November 18, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2016 Dutasteride Agree with that as the next alternative if Fin isn't working. Just be careful of the sides as they're apparently stronger than those with Fin, and some say there are higher chances of being irreversible.

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted November 18, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2016 broscience What does that even mean?? It may be BS but that's what I was told. Pretty sure your body builds up immunity to most medications over time though so may be some legs in it.

Bill - Seemiller Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 rock, Just a quick question. But are you taking actual Propecia or Proscar? And are you taking name band or generic? Because there has been issues reported with generic finasteride, in particular, generic Proscar. So if you switched to generic anytime recently, that may be your problem? Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member richter101 Posted December 2, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted December 2, 2016 Eventually, all great things must come to an end I'd say look into financing for future FUE procedures. I took that action and was the best decision I ever made. Good luck!
