Should Non-Responders to Propecia Just Stop Taking It?
Is it best for nonresponders to simply quit taking fin/propecia to have thicker hair? I’ve been taking it for about two years and continued to loose ground, but only severe thinning at the temples.
Since it is known that fin/propecia hurts the hairline, would it at least shed less after quitting the drug?
It is known that Propecia hurts the hairline? Some people have asked (through this blog) about shedding upon starting the drug, but this isn’t a typical occurrence and doesn’t seem to be limited to just the hairline.
You are asking me to give you advice on whether or not to take a prescription drug — something that I do not do. There may be answers to your situation (such as taking dutasteride), but I would insist on a bulk metric measurement before you were put on other medications to get some objectivity in analyzing the results. You might also consider having a HairDX Genetic Test for Finasteride Response done. Talk to your prescribing doctor.
