No affect on finasteride?

[Illusions]

I've been on finasteride for 6 weeks now and I know it generally takes longer than this to reach full potential, but I was expecting to see some difference by now, especially seeing as some people notice differences within 2 or 3 weeks. There's been literally no effect, no sides, no decrease in hair loss, no reduced itching, nothing. Does this mean finasteride isn't working? Thanks in advance.

Same here but, I am on my 4th week. I think we should not expect to see any difference in 3 months.

I was expecting some kind of indication that the drug is working by now though.

Wait a year. It takes a lot of patience.

Aren't results suppose to peak at six months?

No you can see results at 6 months I think generally it's 10-12 months. Have to go through a few hair cycles. Some people get better results following first year

Thanks, when did you first start to see results?

Same here! And for almost the same length of time.

How much finasteride are you all taking? I'm on .5mg per day
