Hello!
I am 29 and have been receding in my temple region for about 5-6 years. I have never treated it with anything other than Nizoral.
In March I made the biggest mistake of my life. I started taking finasteride 1,25 mg in the hope of getting som thicker hair on my front. The result? I shedded like crazy and the front of my head got like 50% thinner. I then started experiencing erectile problems, depression and anxiety so I promptly went of the drug. The shedding continued at an incredible rate. In total, I was on Finasteride for about two months.
Then in august I made the very foolish decision to start taking Finasteride again after getting comments from my family about my obvious thinning. So I stayed on finasteride for about 4 weeks and during this time I developed incredibly oily face, hair on my hands and fingers. And the depression and anxiety came back.
So now I have been off for about three weeks and my body hair continues to grow wild, my hair keeps thinning at an alarming rate and I can clearly se that I have developed the classic MBP pattern.
Have any of you experienced this? What do I do? I live in Sweden and can not get a hold of RU, spironolactone or any other topical. Did anyone experience the same thing and did your hair recover? I am so incredibly stressed out about this and I am just waiting for the resurge of DHT to take care of the last remaining hair follicles.
Desperate for help!
