finasteride for 5 months

[djthomas85]

hi guys, ive been on finasteride altogether now for 5months, finpecia for 3months then proscar 1.25 for 2months(currently on this one).

since ive started my hair is def worse with regards to the thinning on top, when i loook in the mirror now i can start to see tht i have a thick tuft at the front and the rest behind is thinner. Im just not happy about this at all , shitting myself to be honest. I rele want it to be shedding but even when i pull my hair on top i dont ever see any on my hands. when i gel my hair i only ever notice around 2 or 3 on my hands, so i just dont understand what is going on???????
what is happening?

ive just turned 22 and being so young and my hairloss being very early, i was hoping that i would be a good responder, but i just know what to do?

i would love some opinions or views on the situation, people who have had or r having the same situation perhaps?
thanks
dave

exactly the same thing has happenend to me ,i am on avodart for 10 weeks at the moment and my hair is a lot worse than baseline.

i have not noticed any sheds either so if it is not a shed i am fucked

next step is minoxidil.

Yeah im 6 months in on proscar, although I haven't noticed any sheds I seem to be suffering from other sides

Going on to Rogain Foam this week too

im on minoxidil aswell, aswell as tricomin (recetnyl again)
and obv nizoral aswell.

i had the same thing

no 'visible' shedding; my hair wont come out if i pull it, none on pillows etc. but definitely lost some in the same way as you, thick bit at the front and thinning behind it and at the sides.

good news is, i shaved it grade 1 and i can see its growing back.

damn lucky for some!

id love to see a bit of thickness back n top.

I'm on it 5 months also and my hairs just got progressively worse, receded even further and more diffuse back to mid scalp..very disappointed. I had a hairline back in November. Considering stopping as I think its just making it worse, not everyone is a good responder and i'm certainly not. Might give it this last month to the 6mth period. I don't get much come out on brushing or on pillow I think most is comes out when washing.

I wanted to remain at baseline that was all

I don't see any re-growth and by now you would expect some to get get back to baseline.

this is the first time i have heard you write that you have started regrowing your hair (well done),how much have you regrown and were?
