Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted October 10, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2008 Do you need to? No. Should you? Most likely, yes. Fin/propecia is often useful to take prior to your HT, as well. Did you discuss this with your doctor at all? ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash.

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted October 10, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2008 There are side-effects with propecia, but they are both rare and mild. Most importantly, they are rare and reversible -- you can always stop *if* you are the rare person to experience some side-effects. Propecia won't "aggravate" your MPB -- remember, it is MPB that you are fighting, and propecia does the best job at fighting this. What most likely happened to you, and this happens to some, is that you experience a heightened "shed". Basically, this is a *good* thing, and is a sign that the propecia *is* working; your hair will grow back, and it will grow back stronger. Propecia is a commitment, for sure; but, it is a simple and very effective commitment all things considered. Personally, I experienced some side-effects during my first few weeks (sexual), but they gradually subsided. I also experienced a shed when I first started, but the shed stopped and my hair grew back stronger -- much stronger. My personal experience with propecia is very good; but most important is that my experience is *not* unique. The unique experiences are the bad experiences. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash.

Bill - Seemiller Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I am going bald Save Me, In my opinion, get your Propecia by prescription from a doctor. There are a few credible places to purchase generic finasteride online, but you have to be really careful. As I responded in another post, you will need to stay on Propecia (and Rogaine for that matter) as long as you want to receive benefit from it. MPB (male pattern baldness) is a progressive condition and hair loss will most likely continue without medical treatment. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Timothy Carman Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 In general, most medications only work as long as you are taking them.....so, yes.
