Regular Member Rachmunas Posted January 22, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi I’ve been on 1 mg Fin for 3 months. I take a pill each night. No side effects. But I feel like my hair is thinner and receding more in these three months than it has in 10 years. Is this normal? I’m a NW3. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted January 23, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted January 23, 2021 @Rachmunas it takes up to 12 months and even up to 2 years to know the final results of how well you will respond to finasteride. It may not being kicking in as strong as it will now. All the best. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TorontoMan Posted January 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 23, 2021 Yeah you need to wait at least a year. Some shedding could be a good sign that it’s replacing weak hairs and stronger ones are coming. I think generally guys are impatient with meds, hair growth on its own is a slow process, and I think it needs to be given a year minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It’s likely to be an initial shed of the miniaturised hairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
