Hi everyone,
I'm new to this and would greatly appreciate any info. I noticed my hair was falling about 1.5 years ago so i decided to go to the dermatologist for a checkup. They sent me for some lab work and everything looked good so there was no underlying reason for my hair loss. Dermatologist said there was some hair miniaturization and i was headed to NW2 (MPB). She prescribed Fin for 6 months and said she thought i'd have a very positive reaction to it (I was 28, healthy and active with a still pretty dense hair). I took fin for 3 months as prescribed, but then stopped during the summer as i went away on an internship abroad. From mid July to October i did not take the Fin. Once i got back (10/16/17) i immediately hopped back on my normal routine and began taking the Fin every day. I went back to the dermatologist after i ran out of the 3 months left on the prescription and she gave a 6 month refill and i took it religiously every day.
So as of 07/23 i have 10 pills left on my 6 month refill and my hair is a lot worse (9 months consistently, 12 months total). A few friends have commented how they can see my scalp when we're out during the day and i can now see it in the morning when i'm combing my hair. I recently went for a check up with the dermatologist and she said i was still at a NW2 (hairline still strong) but she could tell the hair up top had thinned out a bit. She gave me a 6 month Fin refill and asked me to add Rogaine. According to her, i should try it for a year and a half total since i messed up the cycle by doing 3 months on and then stopping for 3 months. I'm currently about to finish month 9 of consistently taking the Fin.Has anyone had an experience like this? Any positive results? Is there any truth to what she said that i messed up my hair cycle by taking Fin for 3 months and the stopping? Should i go ahead and stay on the Fin for 6 more months or just stop? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
