Why do you want to quit?

My hair maintained while on finasteride for a year and it's remained stable for 8 months after quitting.

I feel like the actual benefit of tapering off is unknown but most people do it for peace of mind. Biggest tip is to try and not worry about it or you could overthink yourself into a wreck resembling pfs.

Im essentially quitting as i feel i am getting sides such as mild gyno and i really dont think it has done anything for my hair, i could be wrong but at best it may have slowed my hairloss. i quit cold turkey last Wednesday after nearly 3 years.

Nothing was deleted. I did move a side effects related thread to the side effects forum, but I am not certain if that was yours. Check there for your thread.

We don't just delete threads here. Its not our policy unless the content is inflammatory and conveys malicious intent.

Likewise the "Tell Your Story" forum is not the forum to just pop in and start talking about propecia side effects. Its for people to introduce themselves and tell their stories. So Im going to lock this as its off topic.
