3 Months in finasteride and crown being destroyed. Thoughts?

I've been on finasteride for a lot longer than you, OP, around 21 months and it has fried my hair, everywhere, back and sides too. I never had shed hairs that were this sickly, colorless, and thin looking before finasteride. The only explanation that makes any sense is that excessive DHT isn't our problem, it's the sensitivity to androgens that is and no amount of DHT inhibition is going to help, it'll probably just make it worse because your hair follicles will just compensate by increasing androgen receptors. If you are getting worse on finasteride then dutasteride will probably make things even worse.

Someone please tell me this can't be true.

Maybe for him it's true. He's like probably 1% of people that happens to, if that's even a thing.

Check out this site, maybe you've seen it, it's people on finasteride/rogaine for a 1 year and even 2 years, 3 years.

Don't let these rare, word of mouth occurrences (with no pics to show mind you) scare you away.

Edit: Sorry, I thought I posted the site.
