    Would add a hair growth treatment, like Minoxidil, to that one. That would probably help, couldn't hurt, at the very least.

    The worst thing you can do is stop now.

    I completely agree, you (refering to the op) should probably add some minoxidil.
    My first round on finastere I made a huge mistake by panicking. By the 5th month I was still shedding and lost a lot of ground, so I decided to add dutasteride as well, and another few months later I felt like shit and my hair looked worst ever.

    I then took a very long break for all medication, and then restarted with only finasteride and added minoxidil foam along the way. Now 7.5 months on finasteride and 4+ months on minoxidil foam my hair is looking much better. Obviously it could have been looking even much much better if I started with finasteride + minoxidil on my first round without trying to change and add things before I give finasteride a full year.

    I am now looking into higher concentration minoxidil mixes as I see I'm a good responder to it. I could use all the regrowth I could get on my thinning spots.
