Please refer to the poll above. If you haven't had any results after one year, but are still on it, let us know what's going on.

I would be interested to see the results of this poll!

Not a lot of love here. I've been working with .5 mg right now, but considering moving to 1 mg. I would love to see if there's been a big difference.

Also, I realize that people who have seen improvements are less likely to be posting, so this may be skewed.

Consider adding another category "Propecia accelerated hairloss rate".

Vipergts, assuming you fell into the "accelerated loss" category - what kind of hair loss pattern did/do you have?

Before starting Propecia I was a Norwood 1.5 with VERY VERY slight diffusion in crown. Now I am a diffuse Norwood 4.5! :$

Talk about being proactive and actually losing ground! My brother who also started propecia around the same time was a Norwood 2 with VERY strong crown. Now his crown just like me has been dessimated. Since we both started at the same time (10 months back) the chances are very likely that Propecia caused the damage and not genes gone wild.
