I just started Finasteride (1.25mg/day) roughly six weeks ago. I have not noticed any shedding yet. I would imagine a second bout of shedding is not a bad sign. I have heard of individuals experiencing shedding past the six-month mark.
I'm sure others who have used Finasteride for extended periods of time can speak to it better than I can... |

It seems like the shedding has slowed down again. I'm hoping it will stop soon. I am now on month 9 I think for the most part it has helped my hair looks thicker and healthier than before I started. It seems to be working I heard a lot about people who have more sheds tend to hqve better results. I hope there's truth in that. For the time being I will continue taking finqsteride until I find a reason to stop.

Hi Stevo,
I'm 20 years old, also taking .25mg finasteride, I've been taking it for a month had some side effects but i'll continue until they get unbearable. I'd like to ask, if the "shedding" made your bald spots more visible, and if the thickness later on made it better than before - or is it unnoticeable (exactly like before)? Also - I'm taking it only for my receding (frontal) hairline, are you seeing results in the front of your hairline (forehead), or just the top of the head (vertex)? |

Hello , When i first started I also experienced side effects mainly lower libido it went away after a few weeks. When I started shedding it was a lot ! My hair probably looked the worst it ever did it wasn't bald spots but it looked very thin and brital. Don't give up after about 3 months you should see some changes. I noticed some regrowth on my temples and forehead nothing crazy but looks better than before. I am also using nizoral shampoo 3 times a week. This really made my hair thicker maybe you want to look into it.
