Finasteride is like a dam. A dam keeps running water from the river from spilling out into the ocean, or lake. Halting the process for a while with some spill over from time to time. Knock down the dam and all that water from the lake formed behind the dam just rushes out in a deluge. Then the river will just start flowing out normally once all that pent up water flows out where it should have been before the dam was erected.

Since you stopped finasteride, that is exactly what is going on with your hair. Not that it made your hair thinner. The dam was breached (stopped using Finasteride) is all. Now all that pent up hair is falling out in a deluge.

How long were you on finasteride for? What SE's were you getting?

It did not make your hair worse. You never took the recommendation dose, and keep going on and off. Do you not see what your doing? Your being ocd about everything about your body, thinking it’s finasteride; height, skin, hair, face, body, Libido, etc. and then you get ocd about your hair and say fins not working . Bro either stop taking it and accept your hair or take it and try to stop bugging out . Either way choice is your

Look dude honestly I think you're just trolling but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I agree with Jsmith and also think that you're showing some signs of having the blues/depression. So it'd be good if you could find some good stress relief such as exercise or give therapy a try. All the stuff you've been writing about these last two months could easily be explained by mood swings, being sad or feeling depressed, which is perfectly normal considering the ongoing pandemic and hair loss. Personally I'd suggest staying away from finasteride until you have the mindset aspect in order.

Whoops. Had no idea about this poster. You're going to lose your hair if you do nothing. If you do something, you might slow and/or stop it. Your choice. Make the commitment (AKA: grow some balls). Or accept the inevitable.

You never took finasteride at the right dose or for long enough, for the second time. And then when you do take it, you claim you get shorter and uglier, for the second time.
