In reply to 20-30 yr olds here taking propecia?? I'm 21, posted by Doug_Saving_The_team on October 23, 2005, at 10:51:58
I'm 27 and have been taking propecia for 3 years.I also thought at 21 I was too young for it and put it off a few years. I only wish I'd started earlier.
As far as stigma goes, noone knows what you don't tell them. Personally I don't care if people know I take it. I'd rather have hair.
Also, your lack of a family history does not rule out a genetic cause of hair loss. This is because male pattern hair loss is not a "single-gene disorder" (in scientific talk it follows "polygenic inheritence").
Then again, it could be the meds.
