    Default Question for finasteride shedders

    So this is like my third post about initial shedding on finasteride. I've been on fin for about three months now and have been shedding a lot of hair since i started taking it (much more than before i started). Although there is a lot of information about how shedding is fairly common when starting fin and reasons why, i cant seem to find any good or consistent info about when it potentially stops. I'd just like to ask anyone who did experience a shed when starting fin, how long did it last and did the shed hair come back. I know there are so many posts about this but if i can just get a few peoples experience it would really help me get a better idea of what i'm dealing with. thanks in advance for any replys

    I started i June and I shedded a lot till end of August. But starting this month, the shedding has slowed down significantly and the hair looks thicker all over.

    I'm on week 2 fin and I'm still shedding a lot in the shower. Is this normal?

    Yes it is, I was shedding a lot in the beginning of the treatment also.

    Is it normal for everyone on Fin to shed or is it just how someone responds to it? I'm about to start the treatment.

    I'm in my 4th week of Fin....just started shedding, but I cant figure it out whether its from Fin or Niz!? Does NIZ cause any shedding?

    Previously I lose about 20 every day....now it almost 40 to 50 ....but the thing that worries me is that I'm losing the 'Thick' and 'Healthier' ones

    Thanks. When did your shed stop/slow down?

    Four months into fin, looking much barer on top than baseline. Guess there's a while to go...

    what do you guys mean by shedding?

    50 hairs a day is nothing let alone 20.
