Been following this thread a while now so thought I should join and tell my story. I have always been paranoid about my hairline and hair loss but it seemed fine with no noticeable receding or loss. I was 23 when i noticed thinning on the crown and back of my head. I went to a GP and got prescribed finasteride. I started taking 2.5mg pill everyday around the same time every morning, I cut a 5mg pill in half. Didn't see any improvements until about 7 or 8 months in.
I have maintained and got slightly thicker hair in some areas. I am quite happy with the results but do not like the side effects from it. As of now it will be nearly 2 years since i started finasteride, recently I added Nizoral to my regiment and am now considering adding Minoxidil as well or change from finasteride to dutasteride as I would like thicker hair regrowth. Also forgot to say I have tried cutting the 5mg pill into quarters and taking it but still have the sides. On this forum I noticed some people have had more success and no sides with dutasteride after making the switch from finasteride.
Anyone have any questions or advice they could offer me I am more than happy to receive.
