[Kamikaze]

Basicaly title. Im on a fence, got an unlimited prescription of it, so I can go pick it up whenever I want. My derm said if thats my wish, he will prescribe me it. Would you guys start it if you were me?

Do you even have hair loss? No, I wouldnt take it. Until I saw a bald spot, and had major visible significant thinning I would not touch it. In a few years there might be better safer things. Id avoid it if possible. Your hair loss does not look bad at all from the pictures.

I'd agree with this. Seriously, my advice (although very difficult to do) is try to forget about it for 6 months-year and reassess. I started taking finasteride as though it was some sort of sugar pill and apparently side affects are rare, but it's ruined my hair completely. I'm not trying to scare monger but it isn't a drug to be taken lightly, and I was too quick to get on it. non of the sides have disappeared for me even 9 months after dropping the pill.

Your hairloss is not noticeable at all

I want to keep it un-noticeable. I do not want to start with propecia as a full-blown norwood 2,5, when I could have started as a nw1

A lot of people here take finasteride and claim it accelerated their hair loss. We cant simply say it doesnt excaberate hair loss anymore, there is too much anecdotal evidence.
You can say these people are a minority, but still you should consider the possibility of finasteride making you bald faster.
As another guy said here, wait 6 months-1 year then compare your hair using detailed, same-conditions photos.

You're parting your hair, it's going to look like that. Theres no difference in your photos.

Yes you should. It's clear that your starting to recede be it diffusely or normal. You should start treatments
