I made a decision

[rantanplang17]

I decided to keep up finasteride for 2 months more ! If I continue shedding alot and my hairline continue to worsen I will stop. Otherwise I have a little question. Is it normal to shed healthy hair aswell as miniazturezed hair???? It seem that with finasteride (25 days taken) I sheed a lot but a lot of good hair ...

P.S For you information if I stop in 2 months I plan to start Lipogaine to continue the fight !

I will wait for your answers thanks a lot !

The good hair you are losing might be in the telegon phase and are resting until it sheds to form a new hair that might be one for the first miniaturization steps. By taking finasteride you might be forcing a shed in order for the hair to keep growing healthy hair.
Dude, if you want to keep most of your hair with a 80% chance of doing so, keep taking finasteride.
If you want 0% chance of keeping it, quit. We don't care, it is not our hair. But know that quitting after 2 more months would be stupid as well.
The odds of finasteride doing your hair harm is as low as the odds of keeping your hair without finasteride.

You've read this?
"The guys who fail are always the guys who give up. Drop treatments. Stop treatments. Change treatments. Don't take pictures. Use the unproven treatments instead of the proven treatments first. Assume they've lost tons of hair and have nothing to bring them perspective. Aren't Patient. Don't ride out sheds. And don't give treatments time to work."

Honestly dude, I think you're being completely ridiculous to give up so easily! But I'm glad that you're going to give it more time.
If you did give up now you would regret it forever. finasteride is not going to make your hair worse.

The way I see it you have two options
1. Stay on finasteride and see how it goes. IF it is making your hair worse then bummer but you were going to lose it anyway... But there is a very, very good chance that it will work.
2. Drop finasteride and lose your hair for sure!

Cant comment much on shedding but my first few weeks on finasteride I noticed a lot of good healthy looking hair in my hands. Seems to have slowed down now (been on finasteride just over a month).

I know the odds are low, but it's seem that right now I have the symptom of the hair harm. Also I've heard that after 2-5 years finasteride slow down working, so anyway I will go bald. I just hope that I will have the same pattern as my dad(the only balding men (2 grandfather full hair till they died) and slowly loosing my hair (his baldness really began at 45)

Thats not true for everyone... It could very well work for many, many more years. Although it hasn't been around for longer than 15 years (I think?) I dont see why it shouldn't work for a lifetime.

It's a 10-year study on finasteride, 86% of patients were still at or above baseline at the end of the study.

Do what you want but I think it's not smart at all to consider stopping so soon, you're not even trying.

"symptom of the hair harm"... what does that mean exactly?
