Hey guys,

Is there a way to tell, by examining these lost hairs or otherwise, if it is a shed or in fact your escalated balding process?? I wish there was a way to diagnose with educated guess if this was the work of the drug or the work of balding.

I have been on finasteride for a year and 4 months (1 yr propecia, 4 months proscar), and only now am I experiencing a first noticable big shed, or what might be a shed. I am just losing hair like crazy...probably 50 nightly and 200+ per day...for the past couple months or more. I am now MUCH thinner than when I started more than a year ago...and MUCH more worried. When i comb my hair up I can see an inch into my scalp at hairline and the part.

The volume of hair I am losing daily, as well as the lateness of the episode, strike me as abnormal, and it's eating away at my mind as I carry fistfuls of hair from the shower to the toilet. Any thoughts?
