    Default Increase Finasteride Dose... 390 day update

    I just wanted to update my progress on here to give help and hope to everyone.


    -I'm in my mid 40's, should be totally bald because it's all over my family.
    -Started to loose hair at 19, was going fast.
    -I remember comments of "hey your going bald" "wow your hair is thinning" I also remember my scalp being soooo tight.
    -started .25 mg many years ago.
    -had fantastic results till about 2 years ago when I started defuse thinning, receding temples. At the same time felt my scalp getting very tight.
    -390 days ago, upped my dose to 1.25 mg.
    -within a week, noticed my scalp looser
    -I believe in hair having 100 day cycle and I believe I have had sheds after every 100 days.
    -the last 90 days, seems like one big shed.. so much that I thought this time it wouldn't work, my temples were just getting bigger but my scalp was loose
    -the last 3 days have been noticeable much much better. My hair feels like its getting stronger. It's thicker and easier to hide the thin temples.
    -It's amazing how within one week my outlook has changed sooo much

    -I believe a person who goes on finasteride needs to give it 400 days.. that would be 4 cycles.
    -I am so happy with my progress and I believe I'll get better and better. I still wish my temples would fill in.. not sure how much better they will get but i'm very hopeful
    _I also use miox 5% twice per day, nizoral twice per week, massage my scalp twice per day and I use dermaroller a couple times per week.


    -sheds are brutal and can really mess with your head, both ways.

    stick with it if your on finasteride, and give it time.. at least 400 days
    check for tight scalp
