    Unhappy If finasteride makes my hair much worse.What should i do? help pls..

    I have been on 1.25mg finas(Proscar) for 8 months. Before i started it i was at nw1 just normal shedding. I wanted to prevent for further loss and started proscar . In this 8 months period i jus got a big shed,no stop,no regrowth..
    I lost my %60 of my density in just 1 year

    Now i am at month 7 i have diffuse thinning on my crown/templates/vertex. It is still going worse. I am at NW2 now. You can see my scalp on the lighting.

    I am 24 years old. I am depressed, dont want to go out, everyday i look at the mirror and seeing my dead hair roots.

    What should i do? is there anybody like me??
    Please help me... Need advice...

    Finasteride does not increase DHT levels. You may get a shed that lasts a while, but it does NOT progress hair loss.

    IF youre still losing hair even on Finasteride, you probably have an unfortunate case of AGA.

    Try RU and CB if finasteride still proves useless. Keep an eye out on the horizon for BNP-32 as well as the study showed it put every treatment on the market to SHAME.

    I'm in the same boat. I started Fin in March, 2012, and after a few weeks noticed my hair had thinned dramatically. I assumed it was the Fin shed, but to this day it hasn't grown back.

    4. Take finas and dutas together
    5. Decrease finas dose to 0.5mg/day

    Finasteride is NOT making your hair worse.. unfortunately your body might be upticking in DHT or you might have AGA or reflex androgenicity with perhaps scarring tissue blocking your follicles where no matter what you are trying it will have no effect unfortunately. You might try Dutasteride( Avodart) but since it has the same chemical profile as Finasteride only it blocks two types of the 5AR enzyme that collaborate with DHT to attack the hair follicle receptors. But it is far stronger with a longer half-life in the body of up to weeks in the bloodstream therefore their might be higher chances of sexual side effects. So there is a gamble of erectile dysfunction and host of other unpleasantries

    Do nothing, let the nature take its course. Why would you injure your body for such a small thing as hair? Have you tried the buzz cut, does it look good on you? If it does, then there is no need to take these hormone dis-balancing drugs. Believe me, when I had hair I couldn't imagine that I can look good bald, but now I look great bald. I had contemplated about having hair transplant, but decided against it, since I like my look.

    Get OFF of Fin and use topicals like RU and CB.

    Fin has no greater or lesser benefit when used at 1mg or 5mg, the results are the same. Dutasteride is much stronger. If you wanna meddle with your hormones and risk reduced libido, impotence, etc, by all means continue with oral DHT inhibitors and keep supporting Merck as continued efforts with Finasteride is part of the problem and reason why there arent legitimate solutions for hair loss.
