So today is my 4th month on finasteride and I have been taking 1mg tablets daily with no side effects. Well... i did have chest pains on 2 occassions, but those could have been from anything I guess, not necessarily finasteride.
I'm not really seeing any results as of yet, this is where I was at starting:
And this is where I am today:
Please note, I think the first pic looks better but isnt totally comparable because my hair is much longer and the lighting isnt as good. I had a moment of madness around month 3 where I shaved the top of my head down to a number 5.... that was a disaster I wont be repeating unless I am going full clean shaven bald!
Anyways, I dont think my hair has gotten worse, but I dont think its gotten any better. I thought I could see some results before I shaved it, so maybe i need to wait until its longer for a true like for like.
I do have days where I am just thinking of shaving it bald, but I will hold on a few more months as I am led to believe it can be a year before finasteride produces results.
Luckily, I can mask this pretty well for every day life with a can of £1.50 dry shampoo:
Surprising isnt it!
