Shedding 3 years into Propecia?

[20sometingtoo]

I've been using propecia since Sept. 2001 and never noticed any sheds whatsoever (I shaved my head as soon as I started the medication) and I had absolutely fantastic result (thick, full head of hair). Only about 5 months ago, I started to notice my hair was thinning again. Now, the diffuse thin is hard to hide. My question, is it possible to have a random shed a few years into Propecia use? I havent read anything that says it is happens. I recently added some MSM, L-Lysine, and Grapeseed extract as a direct result of the shed.
Does this make sense? I never changed anything in my regime and havent had any stressful situations that might trigger a shed this far into the medication. I thought it only happened a few months into use of new meds and then that was it.
Please help.

Sheds come all the time. Ride it out and report back in a month or so.

It's pretty hard to tell what's going to happen with finasteride. In all honesty, there doesn't seem to be any sort of sensible shedding pattern to the drug. I've read about sheds occuring two weeks in, six months in, and over a year in. It's just part of the process.

In any case, I'm not sure you have much of a choice but to ride it out. After all, I doubt QUITTING finasteride is goign to help anything. :lol:

It could very well be a natural shed that has nothing to do with the finasteride. Just wait it out. If a couple months go by and it doesn't seem to be getting better than maybe it's time to adjust your regimen.
