Since I started taking finasteride, 3 weeks ago, I tried to avoid looking at my hands while showering. However in the last 2-3 days I saw more hairs on the book I am reading or on my mobile's screen while I am holding it than what I usually see and I had the feeling that sheeding has increased.

I just took a shower and decided to look at my hands after I run them through my hair and holy sh*t it is crazy like my hands had 20 hairs on them whenever I run my hands through my hair. I am pretty sure I lost 150+ hairs during this shower.

What is this? Is this the finasteride shed? I thought it happens after around 3 months not 3 weeks! It is scary to be honest..

Any thoughts?

most likely normal. Finasteride slows and can reverse hairloss. I don't see it making your hair worse so just ride it out, let your body adjust and pray for the best.
