get regrowth after dropping propecia? - for the people whos hair got worse

[jason1001]

My hairline got absolutely destroyed by propecia/proscar. In a short amount of time from no visible baldness to lots all round my hairline, and no my hairline wasn't bad before jumping on proscar.

I dropped It but haven't got any regrowth and it sucks... has anyone who got the bad end of the stick been able to get some hair back?

More than likely just a shed that happens when you start on propecia. The only way I've heard of "undoing" this is to ride out the medication until it begins growing hair back, otherwise you're probably not going to get it back. Same thing happened to me to a lesser degree on the temples, but I just couldn't deal with the sides for more than a month or so. Sorry

It's not just a shed, for some people fin just does NOT work OR rapidly speeds up MPB. I've been on it for 9 friggin months and lost like 30% of the little amount of hair I had. I can literally just feel it's effects just eating at my follicles. It makes me sick.

Does not sound like a temporary shred to me. Fin can have this side effect and you should really watch out... I mean Fin kind of simulates DHT right? Perhaps your hair follicles really have a weakness for these artificial DHT.

I started taking 1mg finasteride this past june because i have very very slight thinning at the crown but 0 hairloss anywhere else.

At exactly the 6month mark, literally overnight, i developed a huge bald spot behind my center hairline but 0 recession at the temples.

I do believe there is something to this, "Fin ruins hairline talks."

Jason1001 - how’s your hair now? I’m in the same position you were 5 years ago. I’ve stopped finasteride after 6 month considering it completely deteriorated my hair and I was only using it as a preventive. I quit 3 month ago but hair is still whispy (which it never was) and falling out. How long does it last? Almost contemplating starting again now that it’s seems more appropriate to use it
