How Long Did Your Finasteride/Propecia Shed Last?

If propecia hasn't stabilized your hairloss at the year mark then I would switch to DUT/Avodart.

This is why I'm scared to get on fin.

Hi guys, though I'd finally post some pics. hopefully shows the extent of the shedding I've experienced since starting fin over a year ago. It is not showing any signs of stopping. in fact, it seems to be getting worse. I've shed what looks like previously good thick hair and regrown thin weak hair in its place. Also have an almost constant itching burning feeling on top of my scalp where the loss is greatest. It seems that Fin has just kicked my MPB into overdrive

Are you using rogaine, too?

your shed ever stop?

I wasn't noticeably shedding, as in I wasn't seeing hair coming out in the shower or anywhere else, but shortly after starting Fin the hair on the top became thinner, where it was thick just months before. I was hoping to for it to grow in again, but it's still the same.

Alex82- When did you start the shed?

Your situation sounds a lot like mine.

[alex82]

I guess within 2 months of starting (proscar split to 0.6mg per day) Hair quality is drastically worse, dry and brittle all over. lost all shine and lustre. Density at the front is so much worse now scalp very visible. Was quite dense before starting fin I'm giving it until 12 months...

Hi everyone, I started taking Finasteride early in the year and at the end of March I noticed I had become thin on the top of my head. My hair was otherwise thick there up until starting Finasteride, and I did some research and came to the conclusion that it was a result of the dreaded Finasteride shed.

But...

It's the beginning of August and I still have yet to see any regrowth in the area. I read that you should see regrowth in 3 to 4 months after you have started the shed, but I'm still thin on top with no signs of growth.

I just wanted to know how long it took others who have gone through the shed to notice any regrowth.

Thanks
