Finasteride 4,5 months - still losing a lot of hair in a day

Hello!

I've an classic question, in which I haven't found a good answer. Hopefully some of you can share your opinions and experiences.

I'm 23 years old, Norwood 1,5 and "only" diffuse thinner. Yet my hairloss isn't bad, but there are some signs of thinning on top.

I've taken finasteride 1,25 mg/day for 4,5 months and I've lost during these 4,5 months about 100-200 hairs in a day (when I wash my hair in a sink and be able to count them all), and I'm getting desperate. Daily shedding doesn't seem to decrease, and I'm starting to panic. I'm not sure how much I lost before finasteride, but I can say for sure that daily shedding has increased. Has finasteride increased my shedding? Does it work for diffuse thinners at all? It should decrease my hair loss in 3 months. I'm not even sure, am I experiencing a nonstop finasteride shedding or maybe my male pattern baldness is so rapid that finasteride isn't able to stop it.

I've taken monthly pictures from April, but those pictures don't show any improment (but they don't show either clearly that my hair is going worse). But it's difficult to say though because my hair is longer on top than in april or in may. Please help.

Thank you.

I'm going through the exact same thing as you, maybe even worse. I started taking propecia 6 weeks ago and I have been shedding really bad.
I don't know if its the Finn. or my thining getting worse. I bet I lose 500 hairs a day in the shower alone. By the time this stuff actually starts to work I think it will be too late. I still have hair all over but now its really starting to show that it's thining.Just putting gel in my hair I lose 50 hairs.
I need some kind of hope. A few questions. Can this shedding process mean that what I'm losing will come back stronger????Can starting smoking increase a shed???I've been dealing with some things.
