| 1 | h loss | breast swelling\tightness. lower libido and sexual function affected. | M | 34 | 30 days | 3/14/2005 | 3 | I was getting bald ;-) | None actually | For me I wouldn't say it helped to regrowth hair, but stop it from keep falling | M | 35 | 8 months | 3/10/2005 | 1 | THINNING HAIR | So the manufacturer and doctors only claim potential sexual side effects of taking Propecia...Then why have I and many others report the following: Acne/rash, feeling anxious/nervous w/near PANIC ATTACKS, inability to focus/concentrate, sweaty palms and shakiness! And I have only been on Propecia for a little over a month! | I was initially excited about beginning Propecia as my hair is rapidly thinning. However, it is simply not worth the side effects as I have stated! I feel as if my | M | 28 | 1 months | 3/5/2005 | 5 | hair loss | No side effects of which I am aware. I'm surprised by the side effects of others on this site that I've read. I expected sexual side effects but don't believe I've had any except, perhaps, longer lasting enjoyment prior to ejaculation, but not sure whether that's due to Propecia or practice and determination! | I activity exercise and weight lift and wonder if the drug decreases my muscle building capability due to it decreasing my testosterone level. Anybody have any information or opinions on this? | M | 58 | 6 years | 2/28/2005 | 3 | male pattern hair loss | I started to take propecia 7 months ago after my hair began to fall out suddenly. For the first 6 months my hair continuted to fall out. Every morning I would see lots of hair on my pillow. For the past month my hair loss has stabilized and I am hoping this will be the case from now on. I have not noticed any sexual side affects. | M | 36 | 7 months | 2/25/2005 | 1 | Hair Loss | PANIC ATTACKS!! Shortness of breath, after stopping high anxiety and stomach problems such as high stomachal accidity followed! Be advised, I am 22, losing hair, I model for living so could-can not afford to lose hair...I was stubborn till the end and did not stop taking till after a third panic attack that nearly killed me, I took it for 8 months and it all happenned only after 6 month mark, I tried resisting the side effects. It did keep my hair from falling, but eventually it fell, very slowly though! If you are experiencing chest pains, shortness of breath, or high anxiety you should stop taking Propecia at once. To warn you to be careful with this drug is an understatement. And the fact that the FDA only lists sexual related side effects tells me this products is seriously endengaring a lot of people. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! | M | 22 | 8 months | 2/25/2005 | 4 | hair loss | None | M | 47 | 6 months | 2/18/2005 | 2 | Hereditary Hairloss | I took propecia and after a couple of months I got really depressed, it was really weird because I was never this sad in my entire life. I never though of propecia at that time and though it was just stress. I had my first panic attack! Anyway it did work because I use to feel that my scalp feels numb and it did stop my hairloss. However I would rather not have hair that to undergo all the mood swings. Also my blood pressure went up, so i'm off the drug for more than a week now and i'll see how i will be in the next few months. | M | 26 | 6 months | 11/29/2004 | 1 | RECEDING AT FRONT | I FEEL OK MYSELF BUT MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS SAY I'M BECOME AGGRESSIVE AND MOODY. I DO SEEM TO HAVE BECOME LESS HORNY. | M | 32 | 1 years | 10/26/2004 | 5 | crown balding | M | 54 | 3 years | 9/23/2004 | 5 | Hair Loss | I have been taking this drug for several years and have stopped my hair loss completely. | M | 40 | 2 years | 9/12/2004 | 1 | HAIR LOSS | Deformation of the penis.The erection has a 90 degree bend! | M | 59 | 1 days | 9/9/2004 | 2 | hairloss | mood swings/depression/ lowered libido | M | 27 | 60 days | 8/19/2004 | 5 | lOSING HAIR | DELAYED EJACULATION DURING SEX BUT I GUESS MORE ENJOYMENT FOR THE WOMAN.... | Very good drug. Stopped my hair loss and started growing hair back. Very expensive though and my heath insurance does not cover it, but it is worth the money to have hair!!!!!! | M | 35 | 10 months | 5/8/2004 | 2 | Male pattern baldness | Nil | Expensive Program that increased my hair growth for several months. After several months of good results my hair slowly thinned out again and I started to lose it again. I did not stop the program at any stage and I was one of the first persons who started taking this drug when it was released several years ago. I have now stopped taking the drug as it no longer works for me. | M | 31 | 3 years | 7/30/2003 | 4 | Hairloss | None | Seems to be working. If I go off for a month or so I see a slight change in my hair (I think). Either way, not losing hair since starting it over 3 years ago and it was going fast back then. | M | 33 | 4 years | 2/25/2003 | 2 | hair loss | after the first few months, I had slight eye and face twitches | WITHDRAWAL Two days after I quit taking propecia I had my first panic attack. I can no longer drink caffeine (when before I could chug a thermos full of coffee in a few hours) without triggering agitation, shaking, rigorous eye and face twitching. Trouble concentrating, mood swings. Taking Klonopin and going through CBT therapy helped get me back to normal.Be careful! | M | 24 | 5 months | 8/30/2002 | 3 | Hair Loss | None. | Slowed hair loss for first year. Seems to have stopped hair loss in second year of using the drug. No regrowth, but I am happy to stop losing hair. I wish I had started on propecia earlier in life, as I think I could have saved more hair. | M | 29 | 2 years | 8/24/2001 | 3 | Hair Loss | Experienced no obvious side effects, But I am wondering what the long terms effects of this drug are. Does anyone know? | Well the drug did work. It's pretty expensive though, and most drug plans do not cover it. You can't donate blood if you are taking it either. It causes birth defects, thats somewhat scary. The choice would really be up to the user | M | 22 | 6 months | 8/21/2001 | 4 | hair loss | none | My hair loss has completely stopped. No more/very little hair in my brush or comb. I have not noticed any hair regrowth but at least it has stopped falling out. | M | 33 | 1 years | 6/19/2001 |
