Finasteride - the shed........

[Stressed]

Hi guys
I just came across this thread and was wondering what the outcome of some of your scenarios regarding fin was? Ive been on propecia for 3,5 months now and my hair has thinned out alot particularly in my hairline.. If any of you could give me some advice that would be great!

My situation is the same and I'm still taking Fin.

Would you recommend stopping propecia? I dont see how it could possibly cause further hairloss

Believe me, I've thought about it, but when I saw my doctor a while back he said that for all we know the Fin could be helping in some way. That's the problem with hair loss meds, you read posts from people saying to try something and if it doesn't work then you can stop taking it, but there is no way to be able to tell for certain that something has had a positive or negative impact on your hair given the recommended time frame. Unless of course, it's really dramatic. I've searched far and wide and I have yet to find a post from someone claiming that they quit Fin and everything got better.

After reading you and some others and my own experience I decided against finasteride and discontinued after massive shedding. I'm currently using this book http://www.hairgrowthcure.com to see if its better

I had some terrible shedding between months 1-3. Has calmed down now it can get better!

I'm on Dutasteride now. But I've been on the Finasteride for well over 2 years, shedding never stops. However, my hair clearly has gotten much better since I started. Shedding doesn't mean hairloss.
