Hair loss April-Oct...Been on finasteride 1 month: Update with pics

[Ridgerunner7]

Noticed crown thinning in April. Started Nioxin products...slowly got worse, but not too bad. Added Nizoral in July..noticed some increased thinning, but still not too bad. Around the beginning of September I started Propecia. Within a week I was shedding very badly. I still continue to thin significantly today. I know this is somewhat normal and I'm supposted to ride it out. I plan on it, just getting a little worried. My hairloss went from relatively unnoticable to quite noticable. Here are pics over the last few months. All pics are with damp hair.

First pic July

First pic is parted to see the hairloss better.

I would stick it out and add minoxidil. I shed quite a bit in the first two months on finasteride, just hoping it comes back now..

Here is a close up that really shows how bad it's gotten. This was three weeks ago...after 1 week of Propecia.

And a recent pic with dry hair.

Holy sh*t I always thought fellas who get catch their hairloss early like you benefit the most with little shedding guess I was wrong! What dose are you taking? I'd deff try and stick to it because it looks like you've responded very well it would be a shame to stop now bro.

.5 every evening. Side effects: At times difficulty with an erection, but usually just right after I take it. My penis at rest seems smaller. Erection size is the same, but just normal day to day it just "hangs" smaller. Is this normal?
