started finasteride around the end of january last year due to the noticing of my hairline receding, at this point everyone thought i was nuts because no one could notice over the course of 14 months my hairline and hair density has probably been cut in half, its so much worse i started finasteride, and i had low libido from it but i kept the course it wasnt horrible, then in june my libido went through the roof, i noticed an increase in sex drive like having half boners at random times during the day, and my hair was decently long at this point, and i noticed a ton of hair falling again so i thought it was a shed but since then it hasnt stopped not for a day every day so much hair falls out in the shower and when i style my hair every couple of months my hair gets noticably thinner, and i dont know what to do, i never had a thinning crown until on finasteride it might be my time to hang it up and move on. i forgot to say my eye brow length is crazy long and my facial hair began to increase in speed it grew, i dont wanna stay on the drug if in another year im gonna have no hairline, i am going to post pics to show but idk what to do maybe start minoxidil? im a college student so money is an issue for me but it just stresses me out so bad. may i add my forehead has been alot more greasy on this idk how much longer to stay on or if i should try to lower my finasteride dose or what. my propecia is prescribed by the doctor i take 1mg/day.
