Hi there community.

I'm new here and so I hope I don't make an *** of myself but I had a question that's been bugging me ever since I started out on Propecia.

I'm only just starting my 8th week on the med and the shedding has been on and off (what even seems to be daily) to the point where I'm actually not sure if I'm shedding.

What troubles me the most though is that, according to my understanding of things, Finasteride is supposed to induce the shedding of miniaturized hair. Most of the hair I'm losing seem to be healthy hair. About 50% of these healthy hairs are hairs that have never been cut, as if they just grew for 1 to 2 inches and just fell off...

As anybody experience the same kind of shedding with finasteride? Are you even supposed to lose terminal hairs at all on finasteride? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
