Sorry for the big images, not sure how to resize
Side-by-side pictures are of the same side of my head - but I got a new laptop and its webcam reflects the pictures horizontally.

So this is my progression after three years. I first posted here asking for advice 3 years ago, below is my regimen:
Year 1: didnt do anything, couldnt get a prescription (was 18)
Year 2: Got finasteride, took 0.5mg/2 days for 4 months then stopped
Year 3: Back on finasteride for 8 months so far, still taking 0.5mg every 2 days.

sometimes I skip a few weeks if I notice less shedding because I'm scared of sides and it's pretty expensive
All that said, I told myself to be more strict once I hit Norwood 2-3ish, am I there yet? Should I be doing more right now?

**** man, you're looking alot better now hair wise. I'm in the same boat I'm on finasteride for 6 months, my most consecutive run was every 2nd day I would take .5mg but I'm probably down to every third day now and I take quarters daily. My hair is a tiny bit worst now but I'd be alot worst off without finasteride. You're better off losing it slowly and being on a comfortable dose imo. Once I make it to 30 it will make things a little less hard. My hairloss is too aggressive to imagine a day where I'd see 35 years old with hair.

Looks good bro, Looks like maintaining + some improvements on that one side of your head with the forehead mole. I'm hoping I get similar results. Did you originally quit because of actual sides? Or did you just kinda chicken out/got lazy?

I try to take as little finasteride as possible but havent noticed any sides so far. I will take finasteride for weeks at a time when I notice shedding, otherwise I try to avoid it
