I Haven’t Noticed Additional Hair Loss After I Stopped Regularly Taking Propecia

I’m a 52 year old and I’ve been using Propecia for almost ten years. I really believe it stopped the progression of my hair loss but did little to grow back hair. In the past couple of years I’ve been irregular with my usage and haven’t noticed additional hair loss. Is it possible with lower male hormone levels that result as you age that I may be wasting my money in purchasing Propecia.

Since you have not been using it regularly (stopping it and starting it over the years) I’m not surprised to hear that there was not more hair loss, as what you were doing probably had very low value. We generally progress until our genetic pattern is reached. If I had to guess, I’d say that your balding pattern reached your “end” genetic pattern about when you started Propecia. It’s difficult to say for sure, but I wouldn’t want to give you the OK to completely cease the medication and risk the hair loss progressing again.
