How Fast is Catch-Up Loss if I Stop Propecia?

Hey Doc. Does the catch up happen straight away though – or does it slowly fall out at the pace it previously was falling out at.

If you stop taking Propecia it might take around 3 months or so for the loss to “catch up” to where your hair would have been if you’d never taken the medication in the first place. Then again, some men have reported to me that it took 6 or more months before they saw anything noticeable and others have reported they see the start of the loss within weeks. Each hair is in a different part of its cycle, so I suspect that each hair that is prone to genetic hair loss will react differently. This does not mean that by taking Propecia you made your hair loss worse, but for those who experience catch-up hair loss when they stop the drug, it can be dramatic to a point where I have seen men cry.
