6 Months On Finasteride = Hairline Receded Back A Full Norwood

Nothing is funny when you're depressed.

You either have Tellogen effluvium or you're sensitive to T.
In case 1: continue finasteride. If its Telogen Effluvium, hair will grow back given enough time. However, some people here, like buckthorn, got Telogen Effluvium from finasteride and the hair never came back.
In case 2: add an AA to finasteride. spironolactone, cpa or bica (bica is recommended). Do research on each drug and chose wisely, if you're going this route.

It over man. The hair quality is pathetic. You already don't have any sex life. Hop on an Anti-androgen and you will have regrowth.

I'm on finasteride..

Finasteride only prevents DHT from damaging our hair follicles. You need an Anti-androgen to prevent T from damaging hair. Refer to baba yaga reply above.

I think Telogen is much more likely, like Baba Yaga said.

Finasteride increases t, not by much mind you, but it might be enough to harm your hair. I don't know what advice to give you honestly.

I've read that T damaging hair only happens in people with aggressive balding. Which does not run in my family whatsoever.

Could be finasteride made your hair loss aggressive. If you really want your hair, AA is the way to go unfortunately. Or you can do nothing and see what happens.

Is RH actually real or just speculative?

Also, I barely shed at all in the shower yesterday. Fingers crossed that the shed is slowing down. Almost 6.5 months in. I've heard it can last up to like month 9 or 10.

Also, remember, I have duta on hand just in case.

It is speculation. The term "reflex hyperandrogenicity" is not a medical term. It is made up here, on these kinds of forums.

That is a good sign. Continue with current regimen. Even if you're below baseline, you might maintain what you have now. Do not try duta now.

Thank you for all your advice. I appreciate you being so patient with me. Some people are dicks on these forums. I've read posts where people will destroy other people with words.

I take the mental state in consideration while talking with other members. I know how depressive hair loss can be, especially when you take a hair loss treatment, only for it to make things much worse.
People here can be literal dumb fucks and a pain in the ***, you can only ignore them.

I've never heard of finasteride being prescribed for Telogen Effluvium. Maybe minoxidil. Minoxidil withdrawal can cause Telogen Effluvium also though

My hair thins and recedes every f*****g day. Like every time I get out of the shower I'm more bald. This wasn't the case before finasteride. Do I have RH? This is bullshit.

that's not a normal rate of balding.

Visit a derm and get a biopsy. If you don't know what you have, you won't be able to treat it.

minoxidil can cause Telogen Effluvium period. As can finasteride. Nevermind withdrawal. This is why I'm not willing to go on either and let things ride out for a while.

I meant finasteride can cause Telogen Effluvium. One of the causes of Telogen Effluvium is hormonal changes/imbalance.

Isnt a speculation, im not winning anything with this. Im here Just to share my case. And this is what happened with me. I think you are sensitive

Same sh*t has happened to me since starting to treat my hair with 5ARs. DONT NOT START DUTA. When I added duta 5 months ago my shedding Increased significantly bad hairline has been crushed. I’m in the process of tapering off.

What are u using now?
