Is my male pattern baldness to aggresive for finasteride?
Did it upregulated my receptors?
Or is it shedding and will i be allright?

Thinning and losing hair is somewhat expected on finasteride. The new hair should grow in darker than more healthy. I was in a nonstop shed on finasteride so after a year I switched to dutasteride and hair hasn't looked as good in 10 years and shedding maybe 20 hairs a day compared to 60+ a day on finasteride.

it really depends on how much hair you're losing. If you are losing a very large amount and thinning quickly, then you need to consider Telogen Effluvium. research telogen effluvium and talk to your derm about it. For some, including myself and several others I've read about on here, the hormonal shift caused by finasteride induces Telogen Effluvium. it's highly considerable bro.

Thank you for the reply. I think i need to consider Telogen Effluvium because i am losing 300+ hairs and thinning all over. I wasn;t diffuse thinning before. I can pluck out 3-5 hair on every spot and can see my scalp. It getting worse by the day and no signs of regrowth or slowing down. So i am devastated. Need to say that i was losing 150+ hairs before treatment but i had good terminal hairs. Now they are all thin and les pigmented.

Can a derm research Telogen Effluvium @buckthorn ??
