You'll be fine my friend...just avoid surfing hair loss sites as much as possible. They make people far too paranoid a first.

Good luck!

Re: Ok So I Took My First finasteride Pill Today.(10 Day Update)

so its been 10 days of taking finasteride,so far i dont notice any side effects,at all.

although the last 3 days im nauseous in the morning only,probably not connected...

quick question i used nizoral 2% once,and after my shower, i thought i saw more hairs than usual while brushing, could nizoral cause hair to fall out just by using it?

The nauseous is normal. When I took propecia for the first 2 weeks, I felt a bit clumsy and sensitive to light. After that, I was fine. 9 years on, I still have my hair but slight receding on the temples.

If propecia came out even earlier, I might still have my temple hair line.

Because your brain is playing tricks on you.

Re: I Took My First finasteride Pill Today.(14DUpdate)Little Hairs??

I saw tiny vellus hair within a few weeks too, I was sure I was imagining it until I could see that it just kept growing and growing.

While it appears to be uncommon to get results that quickly, it does seem to happen that fast for some people.

I don't even know how it's possible to be honest; as for the hair to show in that short time frame, the Finasteride would need to start working almost from day 1, yet I seemed to experience it myself so all I can say is "Grats" :)

I noticed hairs growing in within weeks as well. I am sure of it.

I have very slow male pattern baldness so maybe that is a reason why.

i too saw regrowth within 2 weeks on finasteride alone, thick terminal hairs too. unfortunately the rate of regrowth never really took off, like you'd expect from such a promising start.

Re: I Took My First finasteride Pill Today.(14DUpdate)Little Hairs??

It seems to me my loss has finally started to slow the past month (I've been on finasteride for almost 4 months), I saw a lot of tiny vellus blonde hairs on my right temple start popping up and it seems a couple nearer the hairline have started to grow. I have some on my left hairline but not as many and none that are "terminal" yet.

I am hoping for more regrowth. My hair isn't really that bad if things will turn around with finasteride, I won't have to use minoxidil.

The center of my hairline is minituarized a lot though so I'm considering adding minoxidil for that, no tiny vellus hairs around it yet.

I got to the point where I looked in the mirror and proclaimed "I dont have hairloss anymore!!!"

This took about 5-7 months.

I had to cut the dosage down, and too a few weeks off the drugs, but right now I have some mild temple recession, that is growing in at a slower rate than my original dose(.5 down to .25)

i noticed shedding more than usual,but i think its from the nizoral, not finasteride, is that possible?
