Propecia (read this if your using it)
This isn't a horror story to scare people who are using propecia. This is just my store of being on it. Started losing my hair when i was 19, pretty fast and pretty brutal. I had no idea what was going on, started using rogaine. helped me out a little, but knew i didn't have much time left
So i did what every other guy does when they think there losing their hair. I went batshit crazy, i goggled everything i could look up to see what could stop this. I stumbled upon propecia, sure i read the stories about sexual side effects. I didn't care, all i knew was that my hair was leaving me and i had to bring it back home
I took propecia, first 6 months were a nightmare, started losing more hair. Suicide,depression and all those other fun thoughts started hitting me. But then i started to see hair, thicker hair. hair in places i thought were gone forever. It WORKED. I found the cure, smooth sailing from here.
Fast Forward a year later, great amount of hair coverage. But im not the man i use to be, i notice women. but i don't NOTICE them, not like i should. Ive always been a modest guy, but i love women. I didn't have the spring in my step like i use too. I even hooked up with a couple, sure it was fun. but i didnt feel like a man. erections that barely lasted, not feeling as horny as i use too.
To end this story, ill leave you my final words. Propecia works, but it comes with a price, maybe not for all. But for me it did, i regained my hair. But i lost the man i was on the inside. losing my hair made me feel old, losing my sex drive made me feel even OLDER. its a double edge sword, sure feel great with your recovered hair. But on the inside you feel like an old man. I dont want to feel old anymore, im only 23. Ive accepted that my hair is lost, im going to stop taking propecia and switch to hairsystems. I know ill regain my sex drive again, i stopped taking propecia for a month and started feeling better. Propecia is not permanent, you get your hair back for a price that i dont think is worth it
it reminds you every day how much you need it, i would love to quit. but i cant, i NEED my hair. No more, im switching to hair systems. I know the transition wont be easy, but its better than this. I know most of you have heard a story like this before, but i felt like i needed to tell it. I hope most people will accept there fate of hairloss and just do anything else but propecia to make it better.
