    I will keep going with propecia for the full one year. I would say the thinning and shedding both pre date the propecia use. Im just not 100% sure the propecia is doing anything or if the shedding while washing my hair has changed or is still about the same.

    The 20-30 hairs you find in the bath plus extra in towel etc is this once everyday that you wash your hair?

    Thankyou kindly for your help

    Yep, during the daily wash. It wouldn't surprise me if I lost more during a second wash.

    Hi Gabrielbartell

    Did you regain your sexual ability after goin back to propecia? if yes..how long did it take you until you are recovered?

    I am facing a similar problem, but the different is tat I did not experience any side effect from avodart..but I decided to go back to propecia as I didnt feel too secure abt avodart...then horror started..I experience sexual side effect after 3 months from propecia...which I don understand why, when I did not experience any in the las 2 yrs with propecia.

    Matt, hav you heard any patients havin a similar problem as I am, and how long did it take them to regain ability??

    Default Everyone Is Different.

    Its a fact that Avodart is stronger than Propecia but Avodart is FDA approved for Prostate, so if you take .5mg per day, i don't see how it will be that much different than Propecia. Everyone talks about long term effects, but what is "LONG TERM"? 5 years? 10 or 20 Years? Most people say these med's stop wearing off after 10 years or less, so why not try it if your side effects are not so bad? Maybe you can hold on to your hair for sometime and hopefully something new will come about? I wish we didn't have to take any of this bull crap but i guess it just depends on how much you care. Everywhere you read, you get different answers. Good and Bad from both Propecia and Avodart. I think the biggest problems with the Drugs is the side effects, but maybe you learn how to deal with them. Many people take Viagra and you don't have to take it daily. Im tried Propecia for 6 months and it seems i lost some ground so my Doc told me to take Avodart. Ive read about people taking it for 7 years with no problems so i guess it depends on every person. Everyone will have some sides with these drugs, so you just have to choose what you care about most at the moment. I wish everyone good luck and hopefully soon we will be able to do something without taking any of this crap.
