Can Anyone Relate To This? It Is Driving Me Crazy

[Concreteboy]

I have been taking finasteride for 4 months and have been using rogaine for about a year. It seems to be it is making it worse. When I shampoo and look at my shedded hairs the ends are tapered and also curl up. Does anyone have any similar symptoms? I am very interested to know.

My hair is manageable when dry but looks wicked thin when wet. It seems as though my whole head is thinning at once.

Can anyone relate to this scenario?

Does your hair shed in cycles?Like 3 months no shedding than 3 months sh*t shed again?If thats the case than im 100% sure its minoxidil doing that to your hair.

My shed can vary day to day. Some days I notice losing 20 hairs and on other days upwards of 100 if not 150.

So you were shedding even before taking finasteride while on rogaine?I mean there is literally nothing you can do about it,maybe a transplant in the future?Just try another 4-5 months and see if its helping you out,if you maintain thats a success.I would advise you to start dermastamping and apply minoxidil right after every sunday (with 1.5mm stamp) and use nizoral shampoo every 3rd day,you should also buy some neem leaf extract pills(to reduce inflammation).In between those days when you are not washing your hair with nizoral you should wash your hair with some natural hairloss shampoo.

Thank you for the advise. My hair loss has definitely gotten worse since I have started treatment though. Hopefully it will get better though

This is when I started using minoxidil.

You have thinned a lot. Hop on more powerful treatments.

Your only hope would be androgen antagonists drugs.
