The reason why I’m sounding like this is because if Finasteride doesn’t work out well for me, means that I need to wait until I’m even further diffused in order to get a HT, which is honestly quite frustrating. It’s like wanting to take preemptive action, yet I can’t do anything about it and have to actually wait for my hair to fall out even more in order to get a HT. By then my self esteem and confidence would have hit rock bottom as well. Most people procrastinate and only start treatment and go for HT once they have lost most of their hair. But here I am, trying to be proactive and if Fin doesn’t work for me down the road, not only am I not able to get a HT in advance, I have to actually wait for further diffusion and let it become worse before going for a HT. Sounds ridiculous and frustrating for me. Also I have been on Fin for 4 months, and have dropped from baseline tremendously. I know about the shedding theory but even if I were to recover from it, I doubt I can even reach baseline. Just look at the difference.
I started taking Fin as both sides of my family were balding at a young age, and I have been losing significantly way more hair compared to just 2 years ago. No vitamin deficiency, both dermatologists diagnosed as early onset of MPB. I have a balanced diet and don’t smoke or drink. Normal stress levels.
