Shedding after 2 years on Finasterida

[TDK]

Hello guys,

This is my first post. (I'm portuguese, so sorry about the english)
I've started fighting baldness 5 years ago, for the first 3 years I had a strange loss. In 2009, after the summer (late August/early September) I noticed a huge shedding, I was loosing about 500/700 hair per day. I decided to go to the dermatologist, and the doctor gave me Minoxidil 5mg... Then and after 2/3 months the shed was stable and my hair grew back. I did the treatment for 1 year.
Two years have passed from the first massive shed. I grew my hair long and decided to hit the gym, after one year of muscle weight on a daily basis I started to notice again a massive shed, this was in late August of 2012.
In October/November 2012 I started on Finasteride 1mg, in this almost 2 years on Fin, my hair grew a lot and the shed was almost nonexistent. I have a lot shorter now but a lot of more hair then I had back in 2009. But now I started to see some shed (70/100 hairs during shower and drying) when I comb my hair in early morning the first times I have always 17/20 hair sticked o it. I don't see much shed during the day, but everytime that I push my hair back I see 1/4 hairs in my hand. Once again I'm having a shed in late August/early September.

So a few questions:

// Am I becoming Finasteride tolerant?
// As I read around here and some other foruns, can this be a synchronized shed?
// Must have attention to what signs?

Sorry for the questions, but all the help is welcome!

Hi guys,

Anyone that can help? Do you had any type of shedding during Finasteride? Is it normal?

Thanks!

Same thing is happening to me after 9 years on 1.25 mg of finasteride. It worked wonders up until this summer, when I noticed my hairline thinning out. This was of course followed by massive shedding that Ive been dealing with for the past week now. Could just be that Fin is no longer working for us. I put in a consultation to be prescribed Avodart, its my last chance at saving my hair.
