I take a generic Finasteride, it's blue with a 37 on it and its 5mg, I split it into 1/4 and then take a nibble out of that 4th everyday so I am trying a little, about .7mg a day.
Well I am 2 weeks in and shedding a lot; thin, thick, short and long hairs.
Normally when i wash my hair i have 1 or 2 hairs in my hand and maybe lose about 10 hairs that i notice and now it seems double that, and i notice hairs falling out thou out the day.
I only suffer from a receding hairline and I am 32 years old and have never tried anything for hair loss except Nizoral twice a week. I have been slowly losing the hair around my temples for 5 years and within this past year I have started to notice the middle part of my hairline thinning. Most people I talk to about this say my hair does not look thinning. But I notice it.
I would not expect this to happen with such a small dose and only 2 weeks in, I am starting to worry.
