I have posted a few times, I am getting VERY desperate. Finesteride from march 2012 - may 2013 with an acute increase of diffuse shedding along with recession Started on dutasteride april through to june. I have been off any kind of drug since the start of june and while the itch is still there slightly now and the oily skin I seem to have completely stopped shedding? I was shedding an incredible amount the whole time I was on finasteride and dutasteride and now it has stopped almost completely, I am seeing less hair on my hands when I wash and sometimes can even rub my head vigorously and no hair falls out whereas before it would have rained hair down! I have no idea where to go from here is this the calm before the storm? will the rest of my hair fall out in another couple of months of no defense? my skin has cleared up being off of all drugs and it is less oily and my mood and penis are much better (although I only had slight ED it was negligible) I am really at a loss as to what is happening and am due to go one a holiday for a month next week and would really love to know whether I should just keep at it with finasteride and hope for regrowth or if it would get worse? I realize it is difficult to say but ANYTHING would be such a great help!

I got lazy with treatments and also noticed that the shedding stopped but this was indeed "the calm before the storm" after maybe 3 months the shedding came back with a vengeance.

hrrmmm that's what I was thinking is going to happen. were you shedding constantly on your propecia treatment also? I think maybe I was hypoandrogenic or it raised my testosterone levels through the roof, got a blood test but they cant find the results so I will have to go back and get them again! I really don't want to get back on it if I was having some sort of reaction to the drugs as I was shedding a LOT on treatments
