    Will fin stop my hair loss if...
    I'm 19. NW 2.5. Very very early stage of thinning on top and vertex. I'm going to jump on fin but wanted to know if this is just a pointless idea because my hairloss is aggressive. Might it still slow it down or stop it? Or am i just doing something pointless. Convincing my derm to go on dut is nearly impossible so it's really the only option I have. Anyone else out there had hair loss similar to me at a young age and resolved it with fin? Thanks.

    Yes dude. Even if it doesn't you will still have far more hair than otherwise

    Is it? I'm not sure. I hear more people slagging the drug off than praising it. Im very glad to hear that it's low though. I'll be starting on Tuesday.

    Finasteride will stop hair loss in over 85-90 percent of men who take the medication, it's really one of the best treatments for MPB. There are many men who take it without any problems.

    I take 0.5 mg of Dutasteride daily and I haven't experienced any adverse effects.

    Brother get on finasteride and don't let people scare you. If I hadn't waited so long I could have saved my hair. Try it and remember that many of the people had the placebo effect with sides. If it doesn't work then quit but try and give it a chance. You could still enjoy your 20's and maybe more
