I get that. The founder of the site addressed that and deems such things stochastically rare but since millions are using such meds, there can be the unlucky ones. Females often state that birth control triggered a cycle of hair loss that they can't emerge from.This isn't sexual or mental side effects that are ambiguous, it's tangible symptoms that I feel everyday that started after an exact time period, a 2-3 month finasteride break and a 1 month stint on topical finasteride before starting oral again. This isn't my first rodeo with finasteride either, I've been on it successfully with minimal to no sides for 6 years and seen the sheds and ridden them out, but this is different.
My scalp is visibly red/inflamed/itchy/oily and I'm shedding & miniaturizing more then I've ever shed before with confirmation from areas being visibly thin that were not just 5 months ago, as well as a full Norwood missing from the front (mainly the temple points). Something is causing this, I just don't know which part of the events it was.
No for sure it's going to be rare, I'm just stuck now because I already used the drug for years and it worked. If i quit now, I'm basically doomed to years of catch up loss anyways. I have a brother 2 years younger then me with the same hairloss and never taken anything and he's shaving his head already, so I know where I am headed and have evidence that finasteride worked.I get that.
