If propecia hasn't stabilized your hairloss at the year mark then I would switch to DUT/Avodart.

It just means it's not working for him. I was losing a lot hair before I got on fin. I would go to bed and their would be 20 hairs on my pillow. I was going bald quick. My dad went to a NW7 pretty quickly. My shedding stopped at around the 5th month on fin. I have full head of hair now and been on it for 11 months.

If anyone out there has had similar shedding issues and got it to stop please share how they did it and how long it took.

Alex, I'm sorry that is happening to you man, that sucks. I pretty much have the same thing going on too. Only difference is that finasteride stopped my hairloss dead in its tracks for four months before my massive shed started.
Did fin ever work for you at all, and please, please let me know if your shed stops. I'm coming up on one year in 3 days.

Take heart in that over 90-something% have regrowth or maintenance from taking Finasteride, so it will almost certainly work for you. Just remember that on your bad days.
This is what I needed to read.
God. I've never felt so miserable in my life. Hair loss is bull shit.

Alex, what ever happened with you man. I'm going though the same never ending shed, just hit the one month mark, I could sure use some advice

Hey guys, sorry for the slow update. The situation sadly is much the same with little improvement. I've tapered down to about 0.2 fin every other day. Really not sure where to turn now. Maybe avodart? Cannot really risk another shed. I'm just trying to manage the situation as best I can right now, keeping hair short, scalp clean etc. Will try to post updated photos soon.

This is really discouraging to me, as someone who has been shedding for 4-5 months now on Fin.
