jeffsss, i agree with the majority of posts on this thread that you should NOT stop propecia.
Let me tell you, i was on propecia for many years and basically the whole time i thought this damn drug wasn't doing a goddamn thing, except taking my hard earned cash. The hairloss continued throughout. But i kept telling myself that without this drug, my hairloss would hve accelerated far quicker, and since i could afford it (just) i kept on popping the pills.
It wasnt till i turned 29 and got back into reading this forum i suddenly realised, man there are a lot of young guys with big hairloss problems, and while i have been pretty pissed at my hairloss, i think what i hve now for a 29 year old is pretty damn good. I attribute this completely to propecia. It may not seem its working, but i guarantee it is helpng to some degree. I didnt realise its effectiveness until 7 years in!!!
If the sides are bearable, then it can ONLY help you with your hairloss problem. When there is something that can only benefit you, why wouldnt you do it? You'd be crazy to stop. I may have fark all posts on this forum, but that donesnt make me a newbie. Remember that Jeffsss.
Good luck mate.
