It’s very common for people to go through a shed at the 7 or 8 months. Some people shed sooner then others but shedding at 7 month does not mean your medication is no longer working.
Hey Winston hope you're right, have you experienced shedding on Propecia?

I figured as much!

Has anyone else had experience of shedding/thinning after 7 or 8 months on Finasteride and Minox? Despite being reassured I can't help but be concerned and wonder if it would be worth trying Dutasteride, although I think I will wait until the 12 month mark before making that decision.
Would be useful if anyone who experienced such a shed could comment if they regrew the hair or changed their regimen?
Cheers.

If you follow Dr. William Rassman on balding blog, he's got some alarming things to say about Dutasteride - mainly, that he'd only consider prescribing it to a man who was certain that he never wanted to have a child, or any more children.

Not trying to scare you away from fin as it works for most people, but I shed for over a year on it and had an inflammed scalp. Hair is much worse now
