look i have to admit that i am an eternal optomist and always look for a posative in any situation, but i think my mind is taking the piss or my eyes are, i have only been on finasteride for about 4 weeks but im sure i see new hairs on my forhead either that or they are the ones left behind while you rest swiftly move back !!

i keep reading that a shed and itching is a good sign a responder i believe is the term, well i aint had either should i wish for them or should i be pleased i havnt had them???

Your eyes can play funny tricks, Just wait six months and then you will know....

I don't think itching is a good sign!

Probably what you meant to say is that the disappearance/decrease of itching is a good sign, assuming you had an itch in the first place.

My itch went away in the 6th week of finasteride. Fingers crossed!

I have no idea how effective finasteride is on regrowth, it's more of a maintenance/slowing down drug from the looks of it.. I've been on finasteride around a month and hairs in the shower are coming out far less.. but it was only recently that this was the case.. I honestly didn't expect finasteride to work so quickly hence I believed I was coming out of a shedding phase when I got on the pill, but when I massively was loosing my hair it was before I started finasteride and after I guess my 'major shed' I'd lose a lot of hair in the shower still.. and the fact that isn't occuring I'm assuming it's the pill but I have my doubts. I can't help but be skeptical but I'm very pleased in the meanwhile with my haircut and the fact hair isn't dropping everywhere and coming out like there's no tommorrow.

To the author: I take 2-4 fish oil and flaxseed oil pills a day.. I don't recall my health magazines mentioning them having benefits for hair. *shrug*
