what's the dosage and how frequent? Are you also using Minoxidil?

Daily 1mg and i don't use minoxidil because i have problems with my heart
i dont think you will get regrowth with finasteride. but it will definitely stop your hair from receding any further
Thanks for the thread here, it will be really helpful to me as I am looking for some good hair treatment which will work for me. I am going to start taking some Male hair loss supplements soon. Maybe you can recommend something else to me here? I would appreciate any input, thanks a lot in advance, guys!

That's a shame about the Minoxidil as I feel it has made a huge difference in the regrowth. What were the issues with your heart? Were you getting palpitations? Only other recommendation is to derma roll if you can't use Minoxidil. I also take biotin and multivitamins. Also saw palmeto on the days I don't take the finasteride. Not sure how much difference it makes, though had a spare bottle of it and thought why not

Two months is too early. Around 4-5 months you noticing thickening, around 7-8 months the regrowth and filling of crown area starts becoming apparent and will keep going up to 2 year mark. Especially for diffuse thinners, you will go through more hair cycles than others to achieve desired results.

I pretty much regrew all my hair in the space of two months starting finasteride. Though I was using minoxidil along side it which I think kick-started the regrowth. Not sure if finasteride alone would have done much more other than stop me from losing even more hair.
I have been derma rolling once a week alongside. Though it hurts like a b**ch! So there are weeks which I skip.

At what depth?

I think it's a 0.5 needle. I don't think I could tolerate anything higher than that.

Actually it could be more like 0.75-1 looking again against a ruler. Not much way of knowing as it's not written on the roller or the packaging. Though definitely uncomfortable. Can only tolerate it once a week.
I've been using finasteride for about 4 years (1mg a day) and i never saw any regrowth, but my hair is exactly the same.
For the first year I worried every day, depressed at times, but it slowly dawned on me that it was working to prevent further loss.
The data from FDA tests show most men maintained hair but don't get any obvious regrowth.
Be patient, keep using it, and you'll probably have the same results. Best of luck.
