Finasteride shedding updates as they happen : please read and share

[Sunsetbeach]

Hi Guys.

I've been on Finasteride 9 months & i shed during first few months then it make to a halt & last month shedding began again and the front is extremly fine and one side (right temple) is worse.

However i will continue to post and update bad or good as i really want to share my journey.

Currently i take 1mg fin in a morning with 1 tesco hair & nail vitamin. I use almost daily Alpecin on 3 alternative days mon, wed and fri i use Nizoral 2%. @ night i use Kirkland 5% minoxidil.

The hair shed has terrified me i wont lie but i had seen an improvment until this recent shed.

Does anyone else have sheds? What are there feelings?

I will update as i go along i will try and do 1 daily post. Input from all you guys would also be good.

Day 2 of my post. I didn't wake up scratching my head which is a plus. My morning bonner was normal. I shed a few hairs during the day nothing to worry about. Washed hair in Nizoral 2% applied Kirkland 5% minoxidil & hairdryed hair on the cold setting this evening im shedding a fair bit everytime i run hand through hair im loosing 3 or 4 hairs. During my shower i didnt notice any hair loss.

Day 3 into my 9 month shedding still shedding a fair bit but in the right atea were ive shed i can see regrowth which is pleasing. The shed cycles are terrifying thou and unplesant.

Hair today is much thinner which is a concern but still taking 1mg and applying twice daily kirkland. If I'm honest i would like to give up and go back to b4 taking the meds but based on what ive read theres no going bk so on i will go i really hope my hairline recovers fast and i stop shedding as im seriously stressed. Which doesnt help hair either.

Still shedding in the shower but wen i awoke this morning i had slightly thicker looking hair.

Update the hair thats shed has returned which is amazing.

Hair feels finer than it did b4 but still staying focused

That's good. It was probably just a temporary shock to the system, and your body adjusted to it.

Good luck with it.

Still slightly defused at right temple but i can see regrowth and the top seems finer but im staying focused shedding has indeed slowed down.

Are you using it?

[apyrr2007]

ive got a question, ive just started treatment on avodart a month ago and I have been shedding or what i think shedding is, mainly because a lot more hair is falling out with ease, my question is, is that when you shed what type of hairs are they? e.g thick or thin ?

[k9gatton]

Are you using it?

Yes, I use it topically. I probably use about a couple of milligrams physically speaking. It did gow
some of my temple back.

Most of my regrowth was/is on my vertex.
