Help Required For Quitting Finasteride

[Arko]

So I started finasteride 2 Months and 17 days ago and now I am deciding to quit it because my crown has gotten thinner than before, I had no sides though. So should I quit cold turkey or is there any other way I am legit scared.

Why would you quit though. Full effect is usually seen after 12months, Your crown might grow back in thicker.

I get what you guys are saying but the forums are filled with horror stories about people who ended up at worse after 12 months. Here are some pictures for you all to judge. I actually started finasteride and Nizoral after getting a suggestion from this forum only. The member as JeanLuca I believe.

No shame in admitting I am scared....very, very scared. I am even thinking about taking a break from UNI and getting back home.

Looks the same....come to think of it pretty sure that is the exact same picture.

I am probably over thinking (which I do these days about my hair anyway) but is there a slightest possibility I ended up having reflex androgenicity?
I don't happen to have a receding hairline it's just normal I believe and I don't have itchy scalp! You guys obviously know more btw I used that May 9th picture to get the confirmation if my crown is thinning. That thread is still here in HairlossTalk

just stick to fina for 1 year

you got NO sides, that's a luck by itself

Your crown got marginally thinner (I can barely tell the damn difference). Sheds are normally btw. It takes 5 months to a year to see the full effect of finasteride and finasteride is more for maintenance and not regrowth, try minoxidil for regrowth. And you have no sides to boot. It would be stupid to quit now, because you WILL become balder without finasteride. Give it time.

Okay so I will give it a go at least fill 6 months before reassessment!
