I've noticed I've lost some hair on finasteride...

Sorry, the title might be misleading since I didn't have enough room. I've been on finasteride for 3 months and I've notice I've been losing 10 hairs a day, normally on my pillow. I've heard this is normal after 3 months as signs that it's working. But when should this stop by? It really makes me nervous to see these hairs.

Stick with it! Some people see regrowth at 3 months, but not everyone. Personally, it took me about a year before I noticed a difference in my crown, and about 18 months before my hairline improved.

Yeh stick with it. Took me also about 18 months to see minor improvement in crown.

The hairloss is only in the front though. I don't think I've lost any hair in the crown. So does the same apply about it getting better in the front even after 18 months? I've read that a bit of shedding is normal at the 3 month mark, and that it can last even 3-4 months.

Rawtashk: Do you know if the hairline improving was mainly because of the finasteride you are on?
