6 months and worry...

[The shedder]

I've been on Propecia for about 6 months now, and my frontal loss has slowed alot. I've only been losing my hair for about 2 and a half years, and mostly all from the temples. And now that the temples have slowed, the vertex is shedding alot for about a month and a half. Do you all think that I'm just shedding from the vertex to make room for new hair, or should I start adding minoxidil there before it gets worse because my vertex has always been fine. I hope my hairloss has not shifted to there, any insight or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance..

Don't worry too much, just stick it out. Notice how most of the people with results with finasteride usually report back at around month 9. It takes nearly a full year of usage before you surely see results which is why every says to stick with it for a year. 6 months may give you slight results, and you won't even notice them unless you have a baseline picture to compare it with. Things should start getting better soon. Remember Diddy and his awesome 9 month post. Douggie also posted around month 9 talking about improvement. Shedding shits are a b**ch, but just ride it out.
