propecia no longer works after 23 years

what makes you think there will be low

I've said it many times in this forum, but basically my understanding now is that the reason why finasteride and other antiandrogens and 5AR inhibitors work at all to facilitate new hair regrowth as opposed to merely halting the progression - is that interrupting the process of conversion to testosterone to DHT leaves testosterone to be converted to estrogen.

Over a span of 25 years your hormonal profile can change, I've had two hair loss events now in which the first one I made an amazing recovery, and I was up until recently willing to chalk that up exclusively to age, but given new evidence, I'm certain that it was based on some measurable factors, the matter of my body simply not converting testosterone to estrogen the way it once did.

If it can happen to me, after 10 years, then I believe it is highly plausible that after 25 years it could happen to another. It's been pretty well substantiated now around these parts that estrogen is a potent factor in the growth speed and re-enlargement of hair follicles as well as stimulating existing but dormant follicles to start growing again.

It's my opinion because I've had side effects from an array of antiandrogens, that when your estrogen levels do not shore up the loss of androgenic activity, you will probably feel worse and your skin and potentially even your hair will suffer.

There is not some magic that goes on with finasteride in inhibiting dht that potentiates regrowth, at best you'll merely stall any further loss, estrogen is required to grow hair. The proof is in the fact that progesterone doesn't do a good job of it either, and the more progesterone you have the more your estrogen levels tank. It's why people who take progestin derived steroids that not only increase progesterone but prevent aromatase are at risk for massive levels of hair loss even if they're not really androgen sensitive.

its hard to say realy a few years ago i came of the medication for about 6 weeks due to an illness to my surprise i had hardly any shedding , i was on citalapram anti depressant at the time ,, i decided to go back on propecia when i felt ok , that was when i was 43 strangely enough in my early years of the drug in my early thertys i would get a shed if i missed more than two days I've also noticed seasonal shedding each year

I would try going back to your original routine and medication Brand, give it a try......
