    Honestly I haven't really shed at all, but, except for the first few days of being on it, it hasn't done a thing to stop my hair loss... my hair is still miniaturizing rapidly. 3.5 months. Not really sure why I'm still even bothering to take it...

    I started on fin in February and ever since I shed about 15 hairs every time I wash my hair or shower. But when I stroke my hair I don't find any strands on my palm. I don't know if you call that shedding but that's what's happening to me, not sure if it's a good thing :/

    I've been on it for over 9 months now and am still shedding like crazy, hair has thinned out horribly, especially in the front and crown... Who knows what the hell to make of this drug. I am not fear mongering, but I have read a lot of accounts similar to Alex's and my own. I personally doubt the 90% thing.

    Is that for real? If 15 hairs is all you have left over in the bath/shower then you have no worries at all!

    New user here, been on propecia for 5 months right now (1mg every day), been shedding quite a lot for 1-1,5 month and more itching than before. Mainly the hairs that falling off is very thin. Hair also seems worse.
    Have fin for 4 more months so I'm going to give it 9 months in total at least.
