insane shedding on avodart - 7 months in

[Balth06]

Has anyone else experienced massive shedding on gsk avodart after around the 7th month mark? I can easily shake out 200+ hairs in the sink and my hair is looking like sh*t. I'm starting to freak out. I've heard of seasonal shedding but this seems a bit excessive... is this normal?

yeah it could be normal.... just be patient... I had a massive shed when I started dutasteride... like 2 weeks after I started I could constantly pull out hair just by running my fingers through... it drove me nuts... but it stopped...

still can't tell if I'm gaining or loosing...

 

[blueshard]

yup... same thing happened to me.... just ride it out

it seems pretty common as i have too. I was losing major ground after great success with dutasteride and decided to double up and re-introduce finasteride to my regimen again. I think that i have been on meds way too long and the end is approaching soon. its too early to tell how finasteride is helping, if at all. I hope the power of two will get me on track again.

shedding has stopped, hairs looking good...weird. :woot:

 

[RaginDemon]

maybe shedding is part of the regrowth?

It's possible.
