no success with propecia

[create79]

Hi Guys,

I have now been on generic propecia for 15 months and all can say is that it has really made things worse. 15 months ago I had much more hair, see pictures 15 months ago and a picture I took today.

What should I do, please help!!!

that is really scary to tell you the truth. i would speak with a hair restoration doctor.

I have been on this forum and told people that propecia is not working for me and people has said "ride it out". Apparently this has not been working for me. What happens if I quit propecia, will it be worse or could it have a reverse reaction??? I need to know how to act and at least save the hair I have.

Thanks

what other recommendation can people give you? riding it out works for majority of men taking propecia. unfortunately, that answer applies to most men but not all. nobody can tell you if you're one of less than 10% of people who continue to lose hair after starting propecia. if your genes are genetically programmed to go bald or thin then there's no telling whether you'd be in better shape now had you not started propecia. it could be worse, it could be better. if you're programmed to go bald then you'll go bald with or without propecia. it may speed up the process or it may slow down the progression of your hair loss. either way we have little to no control over it. go see a doctor and have your hair checked out. people can give recommendations on this forum and tell you things like 'ride it out' but all those information may or may not apply to you.

What ever is causing this, looking at the before and after pictures I'm certain propecia has not helped me. I came across this forum and this is exactly what has happaned to me. (cant link to the site )
My side effects are oily skin and extra fat at the mid sectionthat was never there before. Do you think I should go off the drug entirely or decrease it to say every other day for a week or so than quit?
