Stopped Propecia Today

[Kvothe]

Today marks exactly one month since I began taking Propecia, and one month post hair transplant.

I was well aware of the possible side effects before I started taking it but it was necessary for having the best results for a hair transplant, apparently. Man, do I regret it! The only good thing is I'm only one month into it so I shouldn't really see any side effects that are too drastic.

One week ago I noticed my skin become incredibly oily and now I sit here writing this with a face full of acne. Reminds me of my teens, the good ol years of being acne riddled. My semen has also turned to water and my mood has been incredibly low. If I'm experiencing all this in just one month I do not even want to begin to think what I'll be like 6 months down the line.

i support your decision. i also used it for about 5-6 weeks and i still have gyno. my privates are working fine, but my semen is still watery years after.

The gyno will go away, especially since you've only been taken Propecia short term. I have a friend who experienced the same thing after taken Propecia for 3 month's, who's now also stopped taking it. I guess we're just the unlucky one's. I would have continued taking it but I couldn't bare having a face full of pimples, again. My teenage years were bad enough.

Since posting this my skin has cleared up drastically. Still a few pimples, but they're fading. As for the watery semen, mine is back to normal. Hopefully yours will be too!
