If you get sheds while using propecia/finasteride

energie · Mar 5, 2007

If you start shedding while using finasteride or propecia, is this a pretty good indication that the drug will be at least somewhat effective for you? or would it be possible that the sheds happen, but the hair never comes back (ie. the drug is increasing your rate of balding)?

i wanna know that too.

i wouldnt mind getting on finasteride but i heard on here alot of people shed and lose alot of density and my hair is great i would rather not speed up the process

i dont have any shedding yet.. 3 month... but those that has shed... of what ive read say that new stronger hair comes back... so after what i know it should be good.
Unless its not a shead and finasteride isnt working... then it could be that youre just loosing the hair as ugual.. but that you are folowing youre hair progress much closer now because youre on finasteride.
because it doesnt work for everyone.. some are unlucky.
