finasteride speeding up hairloss?

[kthxbi]

hi all, probably a stupid question here today but i've been reading this forum and the one over at thebaldtruth.com and i've seen two or three posters saying that finasteride actually sped up their hairloss, not just as a shed but on a permanent level. i was wondering if anyone could fill me in on whether or not this is true or just hysteria - i can't really understand how it makes sense that finasteride would actually accelerate hairloss.
the only things i could think would be that it was either a) a shed which they didn't stick on the finasteride thru, or b) that the hairs they lost were too far gone to save anyway and that the finasteride didn't actually accelerate the hairloss, it just was a little bit too late to save a hair or two.

cheers

Sea,

That's not true I have had massive Telogen Effluvium from finasteride and I posted before and after pics showing the Telogen Effluvium damage ...

Irish, your just a lunatic. Your opinion of effectivness on any treatment you have used is questionable.

 

[kthxbi]

well thanks for the replies guys, eased my mind somewhat

ps nicky, your comment made me laugh so cheers for that

Alright whatever man,

I used finasteride alone for over 7 months, got before and after shots of how my hair thinned all over scalp due to Telogen Effluvium from finasteride, Dr. Lee confirmed this, Dr. Proctor confirmed this, and my personal doctor did as well.


With that being said I don't see how that's ," questionable " as I have before and after pics to prove it.

It is what it is, and I do have proof.


I'm sure finasteride is a great drug, but for some it causes this massive ongoing Telogen Effluvium sheds..

Okay, prove to me your not a lunatic.

Nicky, what the hell is your problem, I've never insulted you but you seem to hate me. Do enjoy actin like an *** ?

Chill with the insults bro.

I'm not meaning to insult you or be an arse. But when i started reading up on various forums since last year (many of which posts i believe you have deleted for whatever reason), I always felt you had more serious pyscological issues to resolve first rather than folicle issues.
