I know two month is a short time to be on finasteride, i’m only 19 and my hairs been receding for quite a while. I started finasteride in April, and i have experienced some sides, but before i took finasteride i was having so many anxiety issues and depression - i used to count every single strand of hair. Using finasteride i just feel bit reliefed. BUT i don’t know if it’s working or not, it’s been about two months but i’m not sure. I would add minoxidil if you guys think it’s worsening. Either way im attaching two pics - second one in apr and first just today. i know it’s been two months, but i’m really worried. Any advice at all would be helpful, thanks alot!! and it’s my first time here. by the way ive had a haircut too so, i dont know.
Is Finasteride Working Or Am I Reeceding More?

Unless you show baseline pictures it’s difficult to give advice. Two months is nothing for what is effectively a lifetime treatment in finasteride. There can be several sheds and adjustments for at least a year. Keep taking your pills and try to forget about it. I recommend complementing finasteride with a ketoconazole based shampoo.
will i not get a higher chance of more worse sides, if i'm using nizoral and finasteride?? i did have some sides with finasteride, watery semen and even testcile pain etc.
Watery semen is normal, went away with me after a few months, didn't get any testicular pain...you have to choose between hair and sides, my libido for example has taken a hit, but it still in no way impacts my life, i can masturbate etc just fine i just live with a slightly decreased libido.

No, ketoconazole based shampoos complement finasteride by reducing scalp inflammation and creating a better environment for hair to grow.
