    Default My Introduction & hair loss story/question

    Hi Folks,

    I’m 41 years old; I have been suffering from hair loss for several years. I was previously using topical minoxidil up until about 8 months ago.

    I’d researched Propecia thoroughly and decided that I would try it for a year, I managed to obtain a private prescription for Propecia and noticed an immediate change within the first few weeks; my shedding lessened to an almost unnoticeable degree & I began to see lots of fine hairs growing.

    About 6 weeks ago I had to stop taking Propecia due to financial reasons; I had a period of roughly two weeks not taking Propecia while I sourced some Finasteride.

    During the two weeks off of Propecia I didn’t notice much shedding, however after about four/five weeks of taking Finasteride I have noticed an increased amount of shedding; more so than I’d experienced before.

    For the Finasteride I have been cutting a pill in half and taking one half every Mon/Wed/Fri, so I’m getting roughly 1.25mg per day.

    What I wanted to ask is, would you say this is typical of Propecia/Finasteride? As I didn’t experience much shedding while taking the brand name drug, but have experienced more shedding while taking the generic form.

    I sourced the Finasteride from QHI, I’ve used them before & they have been around for a long time.

    I’m beginning to wonder if the Finasteride is even working. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
