Can't tell anything with that pic !
and if you have any success stories those would motivate me to do it I really don't care for the sexual side effect unless I got impotant then yes that's bad but should I start rogaine instead and how often will I experience shedding with rogaine thanks
Okay so, when you start taking finasteride, a minor Telogen Effluvium shed could occur due to hormonal changes in the body which might cause stress. Nothing to worry about because those hairs will grow back. Essentially, as soon as you start taking the pill it will begin it's work.
It could however take up to a year or two before you see any significant results (e.g. new hairs popping up) but most people manage to maintain their hairs as soon as they start taking finasteride.
It took like 6 or 7 months before I could see some new hairs pop up and now at the one year mark I can definitely say that my hair has also darkned quite a bit to a degree of family members asking me if I painted my hair darker.
