baldmonkey Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 When I first started taking finasteride I noticed a lot of small hairs growing at my hair line and on my fingers. 6 months later these hairs have disappeared. Has anyone experienced this as well? Is this an indication that finasteride is becoming less effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member dabuski Posted June 13, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think its only natural anyone embarking on a Finasteride or Minoxidil program to hope for instant results, or see things that are inconsequential in the greater scheme of things. I would give this drug at least a year of use before you asses if it has worked for you. Remember if it halts your Hair loss then its a job well done, if you have regrowth then its the icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldmonkey Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 I have been using finasteride for over a year. I'm not sure that more hairs have grown or that the ones I have have gotten thicker, possibly a little of the two, but my head does look fuller. However I had hoped that the little hairs that had appeared in the first 6 months of treatment would grow into full hairs, but instead they have now all disappeared. I have also tried minoxidil 7%, but have found that it has no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
