I am hoping to get some input or suggestions based on member experiences as I'm thinking about resuming Proscar.
Long story short...
-Without going into great detail, I have previously taken name brand Propecia for about 2 years.
-From being nearly completely bald, my hair grew back to a similar state of being 18 years old. Was truly remarkable.
-After failing to renew my prescription on time and going about 2 weeks without taking it before popping my next pill, disaster struck. There is no sense in going through the horror stories, but I experienced every side effect known to man. It was as if someone cut off my penis and took all my energy away.
-Went through the usual visiting doctors and all kinds of tests to be told I was "normal" all across the board.
-I went through this terrible time for about 2.5 years. I eventually did a great deal of research and resorted myself by taking HCG + Clomid on my own and was completely restored to normalcy.
Today...
My hair is in relatively good condition. After the side effects, I made the mistake of stopping all treatment including minoxidil and vitamins. Unfortunately, as expected, I have experienced regress. However, I have been taking 12% minoxidil that I can get from a local hair doctor for about 6 months and have seen some minor improvements. While this is somewhat promising, it is not nearly where I was in about 2 months of Propecia. This 12% Minox is also priced through the roof.
Now that I am recovered, I am wondering if any members have experienced sides, gone off, recovered and resumed? I now have a prescription for generic Proscar ($30 for entire year) as opposed to $50 per month of Propecia.
Differences...
I was previously in very bad shape... meaning that I was really overweight. I now workout almost daily and am in pretty great shape.
My question...
Is my thinking of giving this a second chance worth it? PLEASE... not looking for scare tactics, but experiences.
If my wanting to go back on is perceived as worth while, can anyone please recommend a dosage/starting protocol?
I am 29 years old. Thanks for any insights in advance.
