Been On 1.25mg Finasteride & Minoxidil For 1.5 Months Now: No Change.

[baldboy86]

Now, I've heard it can take up to six months to REALLY see results, but I figured after a month and a half I would at least notice some shedding. Which I have not.

Should I keep going? Or is it pretty much set in stone at this point? How long did it take before you started noticing change?

Yes. Keep going. You generally won't notice anything until 2-4 months, and even then it won't be obvious usually.

I'm 6 months on finasteride without any change, good luck

You must wait at least 5-6 months before seeing any result.

Be patient even at 6 month you may not see any decent results. It's just important to stay on it till around the year mark. At around a year you'll begin to notice a moderate amount of improvement if you're responding well.

If you haven't had your initial shed that's fine, sometimes you won't get it till around the 3 month mark.

I had my initial shed around 2.5 months in, and it shed a lot. It was depressing as hell and scary. But it's important to power through that stage. I've went back and forth through photos and noticed results around 9 months in that were actually like wow that area has really filled in. At 2 years I'm really satisfied with my results.

Make sure to stay on the minoxidil though even when you get satisfied with the results or you'll lose what its given you.

4 month on finasteride and no change either, still shedding, albeit less than pre finasteride, but it's getting worrisome
