I Took Propecia for 3 Months Then Stopped — When Will Catch-Up Loss Occur?

How long do you have to be taking Propecia to then quit and see “catch-up” loss? I only took it for 3 months and quit due to sides. My hair loss never really stopped, and I heard it took a year for a real effect. Is that enough time to cause accelerated shedding/loss thru the catch up process as opposed to the regular speed of the balding process? I mean, my “real” pattern three months on should not be that much worse.

I believe you are probably safe, as you have not taken the drug long enough to get the benefit you would lose by stopping it.
