...It would be not to take this poison. Finasteride is bullshit. I noticed slow hairloss around 8 months ago, so hopped on 1mg daily as though it was some sugar pill. within 2 weeks it seemed every hair on my head thinned dramatically. My thick density literally disappeared in this time, and my body hair has increased. Whenever I run my hands through my hair, hair falls out, my hair turned from black to brown within a few days, my hair dried out completely, to the point it actually snaps if I pull on it. I have to wash my face a few times a day due to the extra sebum my body produces now. I have acne outbreaks on my face and body. I have a constant burning sensation running down the center of my head, this is where the hair loss is greatest. I've been off it for 6 months now, but while I was on it I went into a severe depression. My libido shot up massively too. It took less than 6 weeks for this drug to ruin my life.

In and attempt to save my hair, I've completely destroyed it. Under certain lights my scalp is very visible. I only have myself to blame for getting on this drug, but it seems everyone is very quick to recommend it to others. I read many various accounts of what i'm going through over the internet and others responding with 'It's the initial shed' Bullshit. the shed doesn't stop.

Pics of before and after treatment? People always complaint about “sheds” on finastride with no photos to compare.

i'll get some next time I shower but you're completely overlooking the other symptoms too. If it was just hair I was losing I wouldn't be so anti-finasteride, but its everything else that came with it too.
