Anyone know what's causing this shedding?

The last couple of weeks have been terrible like. I stopped minox ages ago because I just seemed to shed and nothing else and I'm too afraid to start fin/dut.

My hair loss seemed stable enough with saw palmetto and a better diet then a couple of weeks ago I took beta sistosterol and omega-3s and all hell broke loose. My crown is still fine but the temples are receding fast and there is miniaturization all along the fringe. I'm losing hair at the side of my head really quick as well.

Do you think this is just a natural progression and the change in regimen was coincidental? no idea what to do now.

What regimen? If you aren't taking finasteride or using minoxidil, there's no reason to expect your hair not to shed if you have male pattern baldness. For the record, I quit rogaine after starting finasteride because all it did was make me flake and she'd.

My hair was relatively fine for a year, it's just went crazy in the last couple of weeks. I've read so many scare stories about finasteride that I don't know what to believe about it any more.

That's a shame since it's our best bet right now, except Dutasteride. I've had no issues whatsoever, except maybe i can shoot semen a little but *further*, which I don't know I'd call an issue. I'll see how it goes from here, so far, quite a bit less shedding, but it could be from quitting the minoxidil. Afterall, shedding isn't always the best predictor of hair loss.
