2 Years On Finasteride / Loss Of Progress
Hey everyone,
So I have been on finasteride 1mg for about two years now and unfortunately I am a little worried.
When I first started taking finasteride, the first 6-9 months were awesome. My hair had never looked thicker and my hairline was growing back. I was so happy.
However, as the year progressed I started losing progress, and by the time I hit the 1.5 year mark I felt I had lost significant progress.
The pictures I am provided go as follow;
The first two are pre-finasteride. You can see here how receded and thin my hair looks.
The next two are around the 6-9 month mark. My hair looks thick and my hairline is not nearly as receded.
The final two are my hairline / hair now. Finasteride has “stopped” working and my hair has done a 360.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why finasteride worked for the first 6-9 months then stopped?
At the 1.5 mark, I added dutasteride with no real benefits.
I never changed my regiment, I use Nizoral 2% every other day in the shower, and 1mg of finasteride every day.
Are there cases where finasteride loses potency? Are my genetics finally catching up? Is this just a long shed?
