Default Fin shed

I am currently experience a massive shed over the entire of my hair particularly on top. Talking about 25% less coverage maybe more in less than 3 months, general diffuse thinning.

Currently in my 7th momth of taking fin, quarter tablet a day. All was good up until about 3 months ago and i could tell it was definutely halting the hairloss. Now, im not so sure.

From what i have read on this site it falls into the same pattern of the propecia shed most other guys taking it have experienced. But none of them seem to have posted much other than in "their darkest hour" when they have been shedding, is this a good sign? That the shedding has stopped and they have experienced regrowth, therefore not needed to post further.

If anyone has experienced this and has any follow up from the shedding period, for example length of shed and hair regrowth after and how long this took would really help ease my worries.

I am greatly concerned with the amount i am shedding all seems to be very miniturized hairs from all over my head, including scalp inflammation and dandruff.

currently on fin, minox 5% (just daily as difficult to applytwice a day) and nizoral.

And for those of you interested i Will try and not be one of those guys who doesnt follow this up without an update.

did you notice in the first few weeks hair was more stronger and anchored to the scalp/less hair shedding when showering or combing hair?

I have realised i have worked it out wrong, i am
Pretty sure i should be on my 9/10th month. Loosing track of months. Off bk to my doctor tomorrow for some advice on it so will confirm then. Still shedding bt no way near as mch as a weak ago but i havent got much left to shed.

As i said, it completely cut down on the shedding until 2/3 months ago. Hair looked good.

Its been consistent. Like right now if i was to run my hands thru my long dark hair.....I could probably pull out 3 hair easily without having pain. When I comb my hair I lose about 15 more hair. Im starting to think propecia has no effect on me!!!! because I dont have any side effects
