Re: Propecia worked for 3 years, now shedding I started using minoxidil after thinking the propecia was thining out my hairline.Member13094 said: Last question for those of you that have been lossing hair and think its due to propecia. Did you use minoxidil before using propecia and then stop when you started to use propecia? Member13094 said: Once again, Propecia/proscar cannot accelerate your hair loss. It is just silly to think that. It may have just not worked for you, as some people are non-responders. Also, Propecia is proven to slow down hairloss and not regrow hair, keep that in mind. I think you should move to a high form of minoxidil and stay on the proscar for about 4 months with the minoxidil. If still no luck then hold out for dutasteride, that should help many stop hair loss almost completely. There is much hope in the near future. :) Member12145 said: I didn't notice any slow down or stop in the lossing in hair after i taken proscar.But it really accelarate my hairloss.......Well i can say i am quite regret to take it.But it is the only hope of me ...i have no chioce...and I also don't know that whether it will grow back or not...!

Re: Propecia worked for 3 years, now shedding Reading through this post it makes finasteride look like a bad guy. Just to clarify things: Propecia/Proscar will not cause your hair to thin any more, there is no hypoandro effect (a myth). All of you who say it made you lose more hair it probably saved you from losing more. Propcia/Proscar blocks DHT from being formed, which may raise T levels a small bit but not a significant level. My prescription for all: Propecia (1 a day), Xandrox 12.5% (once a day), and Xandrox 5% with Retin-A (once-twice a day). Try it.

Re: Propecia worked for 3 years, now shedding Member13063 said: That happened to me and I hasn't regrown yet. Did you experience any hyper-andro side effects at this time (acne on shoulder/back, oily face/scalp)? Do the remaining hairs seem thinner? Member12969 said: Three years ago I thought I had found the answer to my prayers in Propecia. I started taking it in the earliest stages of my hair loss and it stopped me from losing hair and helped fill in my crown. Suddenly, this year I began to lose hair like crazy and have so far lost about one inch of my frontal hairline. It was as if I had stopped taking it, but I didn't. Has this happened to anyone else? Merck says 90% of Propecia users who have taken it as long as I have retained their hair count, but I'm suspicious - either that or very unlucky.

I'm new to this site and just entered this forum but this is whats happening to me. I had amazing results with propecia and then after 2yrs it stopped and I started losing my hair-fast! I'm also experiencing what you call hyper-andro effects.I'm not sure what that means. Maybe you can explain.Does anyone have an opinion on why this is happening and what is hyper-andro effects
