Hi guys. I'm 21 years old. About 4 months ago i noticed that my temples are thinning. I went to a doctor to check it. He confirmed that they are indeed receding so I started finasteride exactly 81 days ago (3 months minus 10 days :D) Ever since I started fina I've been shedding like crazy. I've seen some guys reporting "dramatic shedding"on this forum while claiming that they lose 20 hairs in a shower.Well i lose 70-80 while shampooing every day. The weird thing is that this shedding thing does absolutely nothing to my hairline and hair density it seems. I shed from entire scalp not just hairline or crown even though my dermatologist only spotted hairloss in these 2 areas. I'd even say that I shed more from back of my head than from the front. My diet and lifestyle have been sh*t for like 2 years. I'm dealing with depression I know you guys don't care :D, but I thought that maybe this is the reason behind my shedding. Again this shedding does NOTHING to my hair. My hairline hasn't receded a single bit since starting finasteride and my densitiy is also the same. Also I only shed that much during showers. Combing only takes like 1-3 hairs from me, which I think is normal. My dad and grandads are all NW0 which fucks with me greatly and makes my hairloss more difficult to accept. What do you guys think about my shedding, possible reasons behind it and should I continue finasteride? I have no side effects other that watery sperm and maybe slightly lower libido (could just be in my head). I might have even regrown a little hairs in my temples.

Our situations sound pretty similar. I've been using nizoral and finasteride for a month and i seem to shed much more in the shower than the rest of the day. Im gonna slow down the use of Nizoral to see if that makes a difference because i think that might be the problem. I guess i would recommend you to do the same, if it isn't the problem, at least you would know.

I wash me hair every second day switching between nizoral and a regular shampoo and shed about the same on both.

Update: Shedding is gone after 3 months and 3 weeks of finasteride. Dropped keto a month before the shedding stopped so I don't think it was the cause. The entire thing started in the first week of finasteride. Went from losing 70 hairs to about 5-7 during shampooing.
