I am new here guys and would really appreciate some guidance.
I have been on finasteride for about a year and a half. I was on Propecia for the first year, and then I switched to quartered Proscar. Both are from either Costco or Walmart. I’m in month 4 of Proscar, and I am aggressively losing hair all over. The scalp showing is now MUCH more noticable. Before these last few months I could tell I was still losing, but it was slowed and not too worrisome and I wasn’t too preoccupied with it.
I’m wondering if anyone has encountered this when switching from Propecia to Proscar, and what this means after a year-plus on finasteride: Give up, assume finasteride is not working and get a dutasteride script pronto? Get back on Propecia? This is just a shed to push through? I also have noticed a few sides, only since starting the Proscar these last few months...is dutasteride a different animal or is it just stronger finasteride??
Thanks for any help/suggestions. This is really frustrating!!
