@Squirrell I am using the same regimen, except I upped the dosage of finasteride to 2,5 mg. 2 weeks ago and I am 2 months in total on it now. I don't get it, I also used minoxidil only for half a year with no single shed, and then suddenly when I started finasteride it began to shed horribly, I still shed a looot. And I have the same diffuse thinning just as you do. I got 2 brands of finasteride, one is genericon and another one is actavis, both generic finasteride. 5 mg tablets. I don't this though shedding is because of finasteride, because it can't start on day #2 right after the first pill, right? May be it's minoxidil causing so much shed after half a year, I just don't understand. I see no improvement yet in my hair situation, I am so sad right now
