    Seven months. 30-50% less hair on top than when I started with fin. Less itching the last couple of weeks and don't think I shed as much now, but hair is ruined so I guess it doesn't matter.

    Hey man, did the stabilization continue/did you experience any regrowth?

    Almost 8 months, more back to the way it was before starting propecia when it comes to shedding, which means losing a lot some days.

    Itch is better, but have started with corticosteroid because of the itch and white-yellow dots in scalp, have been struggling with those as long as the hairloss.

    Don't think Propecia (for 8 months) or minoxidil (for 11months) have done anything for me, I'm below baseline (diffuse nw6 thinner). Going to use them for 4-4.5 more months.

    Did you have increased libido as well? I'm approaching 6 months and the first 3 were fine then all hell broke loose. Itchy scalp every day and shedding, now shedding kinked hairs, centimeter hairs and all the good stuff. Convinced fin gave me hyperandrogencicity, and I feel like an idiot now for even touching the crap

    Don't think so no. Only the shedding/itching I have felt.
    First 3-3.5 months, no more shedding and itching than usual, but then the itch started to feel different, like it was deeper under the skin. The hard shedding and that special itch lasted for around 2.5 months and ended around month 6. Then back to normal.

    Thank you.

    This is my last update:
    I gave up treating my hairloss after around 11 months on propecia and 14 months on minoxidil. Enough money wasted, ended up as far below baseline.

    I’ve been on Fin for a year now. Had an initial shed, then from that point to current, the shedding out did the regrowth. So I’m losing more hair than regrowing. Doesn’t look like it’s stopping any time soon, as I don’t see many new hairs. I have read from ‘highlander’ to give this regiment 12 to 18 months. So it looks like I’ll be weathering through this for another 6 months. But as of right now, Fin sucks.

    Hey Guys,

    I need your help!

    My history -

    27 yo Male. I started losing hair on the crown region couple of years ago. Consulted a hair transplant doc and he recommended Finasteride 1.5 mg/day. Shaved my head on March 14 2019 and started Finasteride 3 weeks ago. Now, I am not shedding my regular hair but shedding some small white, transparent hair. I also see that my overall hair has thinned. I am scared to continue Finasteride. Your inputs would be valuable here. Is what I'm experiencing normal?
