propecia bad effects on hairline?

[Ziggyz123]

Yeah my scalp pain has subsided, but my hair is shredded. I have a lot of hair but it's very fine so that shed killed my hairline and behind. Propecia isn't for everyone and I read all the stories going into this thinking it wouldn't happen to me. It didn't do anything until the one year mark when I had a massive shed, scalp pain,etc.. No hair has grown back from it and it's 8 months later (20months in total). Get hormone levels checked because my derm didn't do it with me for some idiotic reason and now I have no baseline.

So in my situation is it best to just give up on the pill?
Or cut down on hoe many days i take it?

If you've been on it for 1 year and it's made things worse then yeah I'd say come off it.

Think jumping on dut may improve things or if I was a bad responder to fin just make things even worse?

Propecia.don't have any bad effect on hair line.

Given the amount of unknowns in MPB and the body in general its pretty hard for me to swallow when someone says propecia cant do something. How do you know that? I would agree there is no evidence suggesting it does, but the study didnt include every man on the planet and everyone is slightly different. Its possible, but very unlikely.
The evidence is propecia should help your hair everywhere on your head and not hurt it. You cant rule out natural progression which can change speeds by itself.

When taking Propecia, the body creates more receptor sites, thus some peoples hair loss speeds up...

I dont know how much proof there really is of that though. I remember there was a study out there showing propecia did do that, but its not conclusive fact that happens

I pasted the link of mention of the study, idk if it'll work though..
I used finasteride and my hair line and hair is getting worse and I sometimes get pains in my scalp. Also, now my hairs shed with a type of build up on them.. Could be due to the increase in scalp testosterone.

It made my hairline on the left side noticeably worse and also gives me strange head itching.
No offense but most people who say it doesn't have bad effect on the hairline don't seem to have a hairline judging by their hair pics.
I actually had a awesome hairline before using this to fill in a bald spot on my crown from a childhood accident.
Not anymore...

That's scary, I wonder why it makes some of our hair even worse

There isnt much evidence it makes it worse verses natural progression of hair loss you had anyway, but that doesnt mean it couldnt happen. Most of the propecia studies honestly were done on men in more advanced hair loss stages so maybe it never really showed up. I wonder if they tested propecia on men with NW 1 hair to see if it did anything negative verses the usual positive testing.
