    Default I stopped taking Fin for a week - should I restart?

    I've been taking 1mg of Finasteride for a bit over a year. When I first started taking it, i noticed my libido spike then return to normal, so I know it was affecting my body.

    However, after a year I haven't really noticed a reduction in shedding. I go through shedding phases at random, and tend to lose more hair during times of high stress and poor nutrition. Finasteride really didn't do anything to help this.

    I recently wasn't feeling well in my stomach and I stopped taking medication for a week altogether, and I haven't had any relapse in hair loss. Does it sound like it's worth it for me to continue taking Fin? I don't think it did much for me.

    The question is, how does your hair look compared to a year ago?
