    Default 2 1/2 years off Propecia

    Hi All,

    I can't believe how much time has passed already. I was on fin for 3 yrs (1mg/day) and had great results.

    Today, 2 1/2 years later and things r much different. I'm still not 'bald' but most of my head basically has miniaturized hair. It's for me the dramatic decrease in overall hair quality which is brutal. I've lost a tremendous amount of hair but worse the hair I still have is flimsy & brittle. I look older too. While on fin people were always telling me how I looked younger than my age. Those days r gone and I feel overall less attractive.

    Health wise I feel the best I ever felt. My girlfriend & I have a fun, active & healthy sex life.

    I still struggle with acceptance after 2 1/2 years off. I'm a diffuse thinner and I'm on track to be diffuse 'bald' (I.e. See through hair across my head) within the next 5+ years. There r still days I want back on fin but I don't take any medication other than a multi-vitamin so feel good about that.

    If u r thinking about coming off fin be mindful that the hairloss would not happen overnight. Also try to enjoy your hair while on it. I use to have a full thick head of hair and even if I went back on fin now I could never get it back considering all the hair I've lost.

    Best of luck to all.
