Thanks for your input abcdefg. I understand what you're saying and would bite your hand off for baseline level of where I was at when I started finasteride. Fact of the matter is I'm way below after almost 6 months with no signs I improvement, quite the opposite if anything. When I say improvement I...

Hi guys, I've given it almost 6 months and have pretty much decided to give up on it. I've been weaning off it the last few weeks. Hair loss has increased rapidly since starting the drug to the point where if I run my hand through wet hair at the back/side of my head after a shower I get large...

I too am struggling a bit to commit to a decision of whether to quit or continue. I've been taking 1mg every other day for the last week or so. I was definitely shedding a bit before starting finasteride but it definitely feels like a started shedding far more rapidly since starting the drug almost 6...

Thanks and I hear what you're saying, but I think that so far there is absolutely no chance it could be slowing the progression. If anything I would say it is possible that it is accelerating it. Like I said, hair is now far far thinner on the back and sides I think could be attributed to finasteride as...

I was 27 when I started on it. Age is obviously a factor but everyone is different I suppose. Looking back at photos now I definitely started balding earlier than I realised but it wasn't until I started to notice large amounts of here on my desk/in the shower that it really started to worry me...

Hi there, After almost 6 months on finasteride I'm at the point of giving up and reaching for the shaver. I was in very decent shape when I started it but was still losing a significant amount of hair. I weighed up my options and figured finasteride was only hope to stop/slow down hairloss. About a month or 2...

4 months in and still shedding a very large amount. Was also shedding before starting treatment although very hard to see it as a good sign... Am far worse worse than baseline. Debating whether to ride it out and get my prescription filled today or not.

I am coming to the end of a 4 month supply of Dr Reddys having never taken Propecia. My hair is infinitely worse now than before I started taking the drug. I am significantly thinner all over including hack and sides where I had no issues before but particularly thinner on top. My hairline is...

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I'm definitely going to stick it out for a while. Was half considering replacing Dr Reddys with propecia for my next prescription in the hope of some improvement but not sure if it's worth it. I went to the pharmacy with a prescription for propecia first time round...

I have been on Dr Reddys cut into quarters for a little over 3 months now. I was losing quite a lot of hair before starting the regimen but it has continued rapidly all over my scalp (not just top front where my original problems were). I now feel like I'm quite thin even on the back and sides...

Hi Dark, I appreciate the comment very much. Unfortunately I'm certain that this is not in my head however. The affect it's having on me is obviously head related but as for actual shedding - it's obvious and plentiful. My hair has thinned considerably all over including back and sides now as...

Hi guys, I'm 27 yrs old and I've been on Dr. Reddy's 1.25mg finasteride for about 14 weeks now. The reason I got on it was because I was seeing a lot of hair on my keyboard in the first place if I played with my hair at all so it's very possible my hair loss could have accelerated or continued at the...

I've been on finasteride for about 6 weeks and am noticing significant shedding. The reason I started finasteride though is because my hair was starting to fall out at an alarming rate in the first place so it's difficult to tell whether it has accelerated the process or not. I feel like I'm thinning in areas I...
