    Default Propecia and side effects

    Hi All,

    I'm 36 and recently began really thinning on top and receeding at temples. I used to have extremely thick hair. Now when it's wet I see a few balding areas! I went to see a derm and they said I should take Propecia. I'm very nervous about starting this up. I want to retain all the hair I have but I'm nervous of the side affects. Merc says only 3% but they are simply trying to sell product!

    Has anyone here had negative experiences with Propecia? Positive results?

    Thanks!

    I lost more hair when I was taking it, and it scared me into stopping. Most will say stay the course for at least a year to see the benefit.

    I decided I didn't want to take a pill the rest of my life. I think the accumulative effect of taking a drug for the rest of your life is very toxic to your body. I had to have a lump taken out of my right chest muscle because of it too.

    I can't speak for the great things that drug has done for people, but my experience wasn't very good.
