Anyone take Propecia Long Term & Quit w/out Problems

[ryan555]

That's my worry - there doesn't seem to be many men who have quit after longterm use with good results!!! Seems like people who have taken the drug for years and then quit suffer NEW sides... Some sort of hormonal shift!!!
I certainly hope this isn't the case - hopefully it's only a small minority of men who have permanent side effects that emerge only AFTER quitting (hopefully the majority do fine).

I hope that we can hear from several guys who took it for years, quit and are fine (healthy sexual functioning)!!


--thanks rave (sounds like YOU did fine stopping after 7 years) - let's hope there's more like you out there!!
--u said hairloss started right after, but that it was noticeabl at 2 yrs?

I have never heard of anyone developing side effects after stopping when they had no side effects on the drug. I suppose anything is possible, but it is certainly not "many" men who experience this. I stopped almost 2 years ago after being on the drug for 12 years. All my hormone levels went back to where they are supposed to be as soon as I quit. A few days after I stopped the drug, I noticed slightly improved sexual performance and the return of morning erections. I guess I lost these while taking the pill and never even realized it.

As far as hair loss goes, I noticed some increased shedding starting a couple of months after I stopped and lasting several months. Nearly two years later, my hairline has thinned some, but I am certainly not bald as I thought I would be.
