Is finasteride making my hair worse?

[Ismael]

So 3 months of finasteride (I just turned 20) and it seems as though I am losing hair on the back of my head, below the crown. I have never experienced this kind of loss before starting finasteride and it almost looks like I have a bald line going down the back right side of my head. I am really scared as to what this could be, my crown which is what I started taking finasteride for hasn't seemed to have improved either and when I shower, I am noticing a lot of very thin fragile hairs that I have never shed before in my life until just this past month. Is finasteride making my hair loss worse or is this a shed that could potentially make my hair grow back thicker soon?

Taken a week BEFORE I started on finasteride 1.25mg

Taken just after I woke up today.

My libido has plunged in the past month as well and I no longer get the urge to masturbate or morning wood like I did a month back and ever since I hit puberty.

Hey man can you please let me know if you stopped or what your progress is. I have been on finastride for 5 months and my hair has never been thinner. I started noticing thinning and shedding about a month and a half into it, and im loosing so much hair daily and its thinning so rapidly its never fell this fast. Within these 5 months my hair has never receded and thinned this fast. I look back at pictures when i first started and my hair was much thicker compared to now

I would like to hear more too. Also, what do you think about some supplements and maybe meds like those on BidRx.com for your hair, for example? Have you ever tried anything like that? I would appreciate any tips and suggestions on it, thanks!
