I have been on proscar for about a year. The excess body hair returned to normal within 4-6 mo. The full beard on my chin returned to normal within 6-9 mo and is no longer an issue. the hair on my head slowly improved also .I noticed at about 6mo it no longer was falling out and now at a year it is actually growing again. I started at 2.5 mg for the first three mo than upped it to 5mg for about 9mo now . It has made a BIG difference for me. I'm not on any other types of medication so I know that the proscar is working. My doctor told me that it would take 6mo to a year to see if it was working and thats just about how long I had to wait. I wonder if you were on it long enough to see any benifits from the drug. I have seen alot of posts on the board from time to time about saw palmetto and I am a big beliver in herbs and vitimins and diet to controll this. So glad to hear that a natural herb is working for your alopecia.
