    How long did it take you to regrow/stabilise on finasteride?

    Hey guys,
    I'm wondering how long it took each of you to start getting results on finasteride? Also what dosage do you take each day?

    I've been on fin 6 months now with no sign of new hair and hair loss still seems aggressive. Is there any hope for improvement or even stabilisation with me?

    At month 3 I was 50/50 as to whether what I was looking was start of regrowth or more miniaturisation, but seeing as I could style my hair better than when I started I was convinced, then month four it looked better, then this month, month 5, it seems to be onwards and upwards, touch wood.

    You should really give it a year before you decide to add anything, and even then, members like Rawtashk didn't see frontal re-growth, substantial re-growth I would say, until 16 months in or something like that.
    1.25mg of Proscar, 2% Nizoral Monday & Friday, morning multi-vitamin drink and 25mg of Zinc at night time.

    Took me about 12-18 months.

    it took me 11 months and 25 days to be exact to see less hairloss. I was a late responder. I even wanted to quit at one point, but guys like rawtashk and finimin told me to stick with it. the hairs I shed all year we mostly weak hairs. So now I am praying in the next few months I get those hairs back thicker.

    I guess with hairloss treatments like finasteride, you must be patient. its a slow painful process to treat LOL.

    Hit the six months mark now, and looking pretty terrible compared to my starting position (more noticeably 'balding'). It's the positive stories and anecdotes here and on similar outlets that are making me determined to stay disciplined and keep going to at least the 12 month mark.
