I haven't been on finasteride even 6 months, minoxidil for about 4/5 years, but now looking for finasteride to actually do something.
When you see results from people who've been taking it for 2 years or whatever, does it depress you that it takes that long, or give you hope that there's still some time to see if it works for you?
I have a feeling I'm going to be pretty disappointed when it goes past a few years and even if I'm maintaining, I won't have a full head of hair with decent density. My hairline isn't great but the density is the killer, especially at the fringe area. I know it can always be worse etc. but damn, will never be the same.
Or for those who have gone past the point where it's not happening, or are currently beginning to feel they are going past the point of no return, feel free to vent.
Of course I had this feeling with minoxidil when I knew it was no longer effective on it's own, I just didn't think I'd ever jump on anything else, so I thought it was end game.
