Well, it's been just under 6 months since I started taking propecia. I haven't noticed any significant shedding (even in the first two months), or any of the adverse sexual side effects that some people out there claim to have had. As for any regrowth in the crown, that has yet to manifest itself, although there hasn't been any more loss either. Maybe it's just keeping me right where I am, or maybe I'm in the group of people that see no results. Just curious to hear some other experiences with this droog. Okay well that's all.


Currently on Proscar 1 mg daily

jase,

The problem is, 6 months is too early to tell. You should be on the medication for at least a year to determine if it's working for you.

However, keep in mind, if you simply hault your hair loss and you don't lose anymore, it could be working, but there would be no obvious signs of this. This is why taking pictures at the beginning of your Propecia use and then 1 year later is prudent. At the very least, you'll be able to tell if you've lost any more hair, and if you are lucky, perhaps you'll regrow some.
