My son takes this drug for stressful times. I thought that you were suggesting that you wanted to use if for treating your hair loss. I know that Propranolol can, in rare circumstances, brings on genetic balding or makes it worse if that is what you have. If it helps you, then, by all means, […]

I had an anxiety attack on Thanksgiving day and got terrified and got off finasteride that day. Ever since then, my anxiety has been through the roof. I can hardly sleep. Before that day of the attack I was fine. I mean I always kind of had anxiety and depression but this is on another level. […]

Anxiety and Hair Loss You look in the mirror, and you don’t know how it happened. You comb through your hair after your shower, and several thick hairs fall out, settling within the bristles of your comb. You are experiencing hair loss and going prematurely bald. It’s not necessarily genetic. You have family members who […]
First and foremost you need to go back to your doctor and discuss these issues. Finasteride is NOT to be taken by women.
Propecia is only for the treatment of androgenic alopecia in almost exclusive men. It has no effect on other types of hair loss and no effect on most women. Hair loss from stress is not androgenic alopecia.
I cannot help you here. You need to see a doctor in person for your problem. I will try to be more clear with facts: 1) You are having anxiety, mood changes, and negative thoughts. 2) Internet is not the right source for self diagnosing psychological or medical issues. There are abundance of information on […]
For all practical purposes, the half life of Propecia (finasteride 1mg) in your blood stream is about 4-6 hours. This means the drug should be out of your blood stream in one day. This is why you need to take the medication everyday. Some believe there is a component of tissue fixation where some residual […]
You always have the option of getting a second opinion if you don’t trust your doctor’s opinion. I have not seen a case of diffuse unpatterened alopecia (DUPA) caused by anxiety and diet.
There are many variables that can impact hair growth, including the drug Prozac (fluoxetine) that you’re taking. Depression can also cause hair loss, as you’re aware. Usually though, transplanted hairs are more resistant to hair loss than the genetically impacted hair which will more readily die off with stress in some people. In other words, […]
You should always check with your prescribing doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about any medications interacting, but the probable answer is no. For what it’s worth, Drugs.com shows no known interactions in their database: Lamictal and Propecia Lithium and Propecia
The report can be found at Psychology Today, and essentially blames online porn for libido problems in young men. I don’t know if there’s anything to this, but it certainly is interesting. The report suggests that in 6-12 weeks, the problem could be resolved by staying away from the porn and perhaps leaving your penis […]
If you are “petrified” about using Propecia, maybe the drug is not right for you. You are already biased against the drug and if you do have an obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety issues, it will be a difficult hurdle. I do find that most people who are very apprehensive about the side effects of Propecia […]
What you’re experiencing may be due to anxiety and what I generally tell my patients is to continue the medication for a month and try to ignore the erection problem if it is there. I do not know anything about you. I would need to get to know you to assess the anxiety element. The […]
I am sorry you have so much anxiety with the news, but at this point it is just an investigation. There is no link that Propecia causes breast cancer so don’t jump on the hysteria bandwagon. I would strongly recommend that you speak with your prescribing doctor about your concerns. Make educated and well informed […]
