Concern About No Improvement After 4 Months on Finasteride

19 year old male, I’ve been losing my hair for around 2 years now. I’ve been on 1mg oral fin daily for 4 months and a few days now (few days deep into month 5) and I feel like it has only gotten worse. I’m still losing hair but I honestly am not sure if it’s to the same degree as I was shedding in the beginning because it’s been falling out still for so long. I haven’t seen any improvements whatsoever, if anything it has been worse. Is there no hope left? Because that’s what I am feeling.

Don’t worry if you haven’t seen big changes yet—fin can take up to a year to show noticeable results. Early shedding is normal, showing that your follicles are responding. Stick with it, since it might just be maintaining your current hair count. Check out The Beginner’s Guide for more info.
