Does Propecia stop working over time?
Question:
What is the likely hood that propecia will stop working over time? Anyone have any info on this?
Thanks
Can lose its effectiveness after years
I lost around 30% of my hair, mostly in the front of the scalp/temples when I was 20 (back in 2001). The back was thick but what was in the front near the temples was very thin and my temple area had receded. It happened really fast for a hereditary loss-- within maybe 3 or 4 months. I got on Propecia within a few months and it stabilized right away, and I experienced some thickening within 6-12 months, and total stabilization for 6 years after that. The back has stayed full and thick. I'm 30 now, and over the last couple of years, I've experienced a small amount of recession/thinning at the temples. It could be from stress (I've been going back to school while working full time) but I'm not sure. I've noticed it because when it used to be that I'd have one or two bad hair days, most days are bad hair days now. This of course is because even a small amount of frontal loss has a big impact on facial appearance. Frontal loss is also the area on which Propecia and Rogaine treatments are least effective.
Anyone else experience something similar?
