I have been on Finasteride for the last 7.5 months. Continued to shed approx 100-150 hairs/day till the 5th month mark. At around the start of the 6th month the shed dramatically dropped to approx 30 hairs a day. I was extremely happy at that point thinking finasteride finally kicked in. Hair felt great and I could brush my hair several times a day with little to no shed.
The happiness was however short lived as at the start of 7th month the shed came back as if with a vengeance and I am shedding heavily at the moment, from anywhere to 150-300 hairs per day.
Man it feels like sh*t! Just don't know what's happening. When I compare the pictures, I feel there's further thinning though diffuse over the entire top. The frontal region has especially thinned. I also notice some thinning on crown.
I plan on sticking on to finasteride for at least 2 years before coming to any conclusion but its really tough seeing hairs fall everyday. I also plan on getting my DHT levels checked to compare it prior to starting finasteride. I would keep you updated on the events for sure.
PS: I ve been on and off minoxidil 10 per cent. Restarted it approx a week back.
Please Help.
Thanks
