Hair line worse 8 months after Finasteride is it too late?

ajveiger
22 yr old male, Ive been on 1mg finasteride since the past october, my shedding amount has not really changed, i have increase of diffuse thinning on my temples. Ive been taking a daily vitamin and have added biotin recently to see if I can get some more results. Is it too late? Am I just not responding to the medication? My PA said give it a year and then in a return visit my dermatologist says that I should have responded by now and then said i should get FUE and renewed my fin prescription.
