Improve then get worse

[briancl]

I have been on 1.25mg proscar for approx 4 months. When I first started using it, my hairs in the temple were thickening up. All of a sudden it seems to be thinning again to original status. Could this possibly be a shed? I have my hair very short so it is hard to tell if I ever shed. Anyone with any information to make me feel better. I am ready to take out the razor and call it a day.

It's probably just a shed. Like they always say: Ride it out. There are typically ups and downs for a year.

Give it 12 months then decide if the finasteride is helping or not. Your probably just going through a shed. It happens to some people, dont throw the towel in yet just have a little patience.

is it possible the proscar i purchased is a fake? my hair seemed to get worst after i got a new shipment of proscar in from different vendor. everything looks legit about it though.

shed, brian.

You are at the appropriate point in your finasteride treatment to shed.
