Sorry for the bad topic

I started finasteride 3-4 months ago and I seem to have more hair than I did when I started. But I'm also almost sure that the texture and color of my hair has changed a bit, as my hair used to be dirty blonde and at the moment it looks dry and redish? Is this even possible and is my hair likely to return to its previous color?

As for side effects, I have noticed some tingliness and sagginess downstairs, mild dizziness, a decrease in my overall alertness and dry eyes. I understood that these side-effects will most likely go away on their own even if I continue popping the pill.

What's your input, should I switch to rogeine or take it in my regimen? I would otherwise just shave it off and never look back, but my skull shape does not really allow this...

edit: Oh, I also noticed that my scalp doesn't get oily so fast as before, and I dont get those white "grains" in my hair anymore

I took 1.25mg daily and switched to 0.625..thinking about lowering it further as I have also been feeling more anxious and a bit depressed. Maybe I'll give it a few months and if things don't change for the better, I'll just stop taking it. Maybe I am overracting, as I was fine for the first 3 months..

edit: f*** this, I'm quiting. I don't want to risk my health because of hair..and I feel like sh** right now. Switching to rogaine
