Decided to update my experience after ages, was vaguely reminded of this post. Basically, it's been years on Propecia brand name now, zero further hair loss despite ongoing "shedding", no recession, no thinning up top, no negative symptoms, I don't really think about hair. The shedding goes on...

Just reporting back here after a long time to say that everything is going well, no further hair loss despite occasional shedding, recession stable. I can confidently say that finasteride has worked for me and that I hardly ever think about my hair anymore.

My hairline hadn't receded HORRIBLY but the amount it did recede was pretty bad considering all the recession happened in a short few months. I had perfect hair up til age 28, then just a few months later it had already receded like 1/2 an inch. On top of that, my father at that exact age...

I'm 30 years old

I'll keep reporting back here as the years go by, so we'll find out for sure soon enough I guess. It really used to piss me off when people start threads then disappear into the void forever one day and you never get to find out what happened.

LMFAO!

I was shedding 1000 hairs a day for a short period, and then it stopped. I no longer shed anywhere near that many hairs today. As for the diffuseness, I'm not diffuse by any means; recently cut my hair super short and still looked thick. It's been 2 years now and hair is fine. Finasteride has...

Yeah, my hair is in fine condition, no worsening whatsoever, very stable. As for advice, it's hard for me to give you advice since people seem to experience different things with similar symptoms. Like I said earlier, some people shed and it's a disaster for them and they lose all their hair...

No, not from the shed. What happened was, about two years ago I noticed the hair at the top of my head was thinning and I had begun to recede slightly. I got on finasteride, but soon began to shed. From the actual shed however I never noticed any FURTHER thinning or recession, and don't to this...

I don't wanna speculate too much. Maybe? People get such varying results from everything, this whole thing seems to be such a mystery. Some people shed and their hair improves or stays good (like me), other people shed and just wreck their hair, so who knows WTF is really going on around here...

to be fair, my situation was never quite THIS radical. maybe half that

I did, yes. Still on the brand name

Update after a long while: hair is good as ever, no noticeable thinning anywhere, still continue to shed slightly but it seems to have no impact whatsoever. Everything is stable and I'm quite happy. Good luck to everyone

I continue to shed pretty moderately, but there seems to be no density loss and no recession either. It seems like a stable situation on my part. I've sort of just accepted the increased shedding at this point, but my hair seems perfectly fine.

That f*****g sucks. I'm shedding a lot but density remains the same it seems to me. I don't get it. I don't get anything anymore. Nothing makes sense to me. The world is unknowable. I've accepted the mystery, as that character says in that Coen brothers movie. =/
