I've been on finasteride for about 18 months now, first 6 months I was on 0.5mg daily dosage, and then I increased to 0.75mg dosage.
so far it seemed like it stopped my hair loss and and even had some regrowth/thickening of remaining hair.
but recently I'm starting to feel like my hair is getting thinner, and that the left side of my hairline is getting worse and starting to recede further.
I'm 31 years old, and not even 2 years on the drug

Is there a merit in increasing the dosage to 1mg daily from 0.75 mg daily? from what I've seen the difference in effectiveness between the two is very very minimal to non-existing but I don't know maybe each person metabolize the drug differently, maybe 1mg would make an improvement?

advice would be appreciated

No difference at all.
