male pattern baldness

There is no visible reason for you to be on either Minoxidil or Finasteride.

From what I understand Finasteride alters your hormone levels. It's scientifically studied that these hormonal imbalances/fluctuation can cause temporary hair loss and Telogen Effuvium. Based on this, it seems within reason to believe that some people on Finasteride experience a...

I haven't tried liquid. At the time I actually couldn't find any stores that sell it, only foam. But the foam does appeal to me more for the fast drying effect. - - - Updated - - - Minor Update- for those people who are silently listening. I'm still shedding like a beast, and my density...

I only used minoxidil for a few weeks in December. And I didn't apply it to my eyebrows and sides (which are some of the areas I'm loosing hair). I also had my blood-work done recently as well and I'm as healthy as can be. Not trying to derail the topic, I just think there's a lot about...

I am NOT using minoxidil..

*Raises hand* I've been shedding massively since I've started finasteride, and it has caused hair loss in very unnatural places. I've also read many stories online of people who have experienced similar reactions. Pics in my thread...

I don't understand the question..lol I'm debating putting minoxidil only on my temples and hairline. It was virtually impossible to spread the foam across my whole scalp...but temples may be better then nothing.

Second Month I don't think my body is tolerating this treatment well, I'm still loosing hair everywhere. Likely will just weed off the medication the next few days and call it a loss. Monthly pictures as promised.

I started finasteride 2 months ago now and have been shedding massively ever since. I'm even loosing non-male pattern baldness hairs behind the ears and eyebrows, along with a constant itch. Do you think I'm also responding poorly? Or maybe experiencing a temporary Telogen Effluvium shed?? I'm starting to think that Finasteride is...

Judging by the silence I guess not many have. Noted.

I convinced my Doctor to use my hairy knuckles to fill in my temples. I'm such a Knucklehead.

It's terrible. Also worth noting that my hair has almost completed stopped growing. I usually get a hair cut every 3-4 weeks, but I haven't needed too since starting finasteride almost 2 months ago. Growth is so slow. I'd be interested to hear if someone had any success after going through a similar shed.

In general drinking alcohol while on medication is usually frowned upon, but you should be fine if you only drink socially, and in moderation.

Another Update Nearly two months into finasteride now and my hair has been absolutely demoed. I've lost significant density all over my head, and even my sideburns and eyebrows are still taking a hit. There doesn't seem to be an end to this brutal shedding :sad: I've experienced no side effects except...
