Lol what’s the science behind your claims? Also and this is something everybody with your type of claim has been failed to provide, do you have pictures? Because number of hairs lost per day is a horrible metric to judge balding. I lose barely any hair yet it got worse consistently. Also shedding miniaturized hairs is exactly what is supposed to happen because finasteride will restart the hair cycle with stronger hairs in Anagen. You might have seriously seen some improvement after a year or so, sadly you got off before that
Also there is not a single study or case report suggesting finasteride can make hair loss worse. Nothing. And i haven’t seen any pictures from people like you-ever
Yeah, I'm not wasting my time getting bogged down in an argument with someone who has 1,500 posts in half a year on a hair loss forum.
Your time may not be valuable to yourself but I know where these things end up going with people like you, and I'm pulling out before we get there.
I searched long and hard on here and all the other hair loss sites + Reddit looking through all the posts of people who had increased shedding that lasted for 7+ months with no resolution and every single one of them it never turned for. I went on profiles of the posters and looked at what they got up to 1 year from then, 2 years from then, and every single one was the same. It never stopped. They moved up to dutasteride, they persevered until 1.5 years, the status quo remained.
The drug is still not totally understood, nor is hair loss, but something is at play in these instances. There is an adverse and paradoxical reaction that occurs in a rare minority.
If you only want to go off stuff that's officially been ratified in writing, then good for you my man, but we have a difference in opinion there. I am happy to use common sense and intuition to filter through anecdotal references from users' accounts of their experiences on here and other platforms and work off there.
If finasteride works for you, then I am happy for you, but this thread is for CB and you de-railing it by trying to pontificate with your absolutes that are based off only the studies that have arbitrarily been conducted is not what the thread is for and not what anyone inside it is looking for.
