Got negative side effects with Propecia. Not recommended

This is absolutely the greatest product invented for those in the early stages of hair loss. I started losing my hair in grade 9 - 14 years old. I am an observant person and I notice every hair that falls off my head, which eventually trickles onto your paper or keyboad - I hated it! As years went by, 18,19,20... I noticed I was developing a receding hair line, my worst nightmare. I said my prayers to the Lord Jesus Christ plently of times asking for a miracle. Finally he provided me with the courage to get off my a@@ and talk to a medical physician. He recommended minioxidal as a vasodilator - a substance that dilates blood vessels, thus increasing the amount of blood around the follicules. Good, but I wanted something that would disrupt the chemistry behind hairloss (damn DHT). Anyways, I have been using propecia for almost two months and no more itchy buzzed hair, hair line is becoming far more defined, and very little hair loss. Rather than losing 5 hairs on my pillow a day, its down to 0 or 1 a day, which is natural. Oh, and no side effects regarding your sexual drive - that's bullshit for a young guy in their twenties who produces large amount of testosterone to begin with. In fact, I feel I am thinking about sex more haha. No worries.

Propecia works for me. There is so many negative comments about this drug, but I started losing my hair at age 20. I have been on propecia for a year and a half and it has stopped all thinning and has grown back a noticeable amount of hair. There were side effects in the first month such as decreased sex drive, but after that everything is fine and I do not feel a decrease of testosterone like men talk about. I feel fine, it works, but it's probably not for everyone, I got lucky.

I experienced extreme fatigue, anxiety, depression, gynecomastia, apathy, anorgasma, penile fibrosis, penile numbness, loss of nighttime erections and endless hormonal imbalances. I took this drug for 1 year and 4 months. The anxiety and depression affected me almost immediately although I was completely clueless as to the cause. I cycled through every single anti-depressant and ADHD medication trying to solve this problem. It wasn't until I stopped the medication that I realized it was the Propecia. THESE SIDE EFFECTS HAVE NOT SUBSIDED AT ALL SEVEN MONTHS LATER! I would not wish this on my worst enemy. This drug has literally destroyed my life. I know that no one wants to lose their hair and look unattractive, but just imagine how attractive you will be if you are one of the unfortunate few of us that gets gynecomastia, penile fibrosis, and inability to ejaculate (I CANNOT EVEN MASTRUBATE TO ORGASM after taking this drug). If you value your life then I strongly suggest you find some other way!

Propecia is not a wonder cure, it can grow hair back in some men. In most mens cases it will just stop further hair loss which it has doen for me. Ive been Buying Propecia from medical specialists, im now just weighting for hair cloning trials to be finished at Intercytex. 

I recently had hair transplant surgery 2 months ago and I seem to have less hair now than before even though I had 2400 grafts , how long does it take to know if the transplant surgery was sussesful?. I also started taking Finasteride 1mg tablets and was wondering if Propecia is worth the money as opposed to the generic Finasteride tablets? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you

I've been on Propecia for over 7 years now. I started young and it has worked. I've kept what hair I have and regrown some of the hair I lost. In my late 20's I felt a huge drop in my testosterone levels. I started taking testosterone supplements as well as a men's daily supplement. Within a few month I was feeling myself again. I would recommend Propecia and also seeing a nutritionist if you feel any side effects.

I had been using Minoxodil with moderate results so I tried Propecia. It helped grow some hair but soon my sexual potency dropped drastically. I knew it happened to some people but never thought it would happen to me. It was expensive too so I stopped taking it. After about 5 years the ability to maintain an erection has returned but still the ejaculate is 1/4 what it used to be. Not recommended.

I haveto agree with some of you. Propecia has side effects. It didn't effect me sexually, but it threw me off the balance. Chemical embalance is bad. If I were you I would think twice before perchasing this product. I used it for 3 years. It not only didn't do anything at all, but I felt depressed and aggrivated most of the time. the thing about this medication is that it's a hormonal drug. It reduces your level of tastestirone(important male hormone)and throws you off the balance. Be careful!

Works great to grow hair...if you dont mind being impotent and have a messed up hormonal balance. Propecia has ruined liked check out newsgroup on yahoo. Anyway it grows hair real good if you dont have sides but be careful. I had no sides till about 5 years into taking it and now I am suffering from possible permanent hormonal balance problems. been off Propecia for one year now and still suffering from sides....be careful.. I myself has switched to minoxidil as it is a topical.

Best stuff since Minox. Proscar is the same thing, but cheaper.

I tried propecia for a little while I quit because of too many side affects. I felt spacey and had a greatly increased appetite. I think it did prevent further hair loss. I switched to a herbal product that goes under the name of shen min and had no side affects and no hair loss anymore. I later started purchasing it in bulk much cheaper. I use it along with saw palmetto and the combinaion works well E-mail me I will send you more info. steveb129@hotmail.com
