Asked By:nyk155 in Nyack, NY

Hi. I'm 46 year old that has been on finasteride for over 13 months. My hair has never looked worse than it does today. At one point around month 9 my hair looked great and I would have been thrilled to maintain from there. At 13 months the amount hair and thickness I have lost is alarming. Wondering if I should ditch the Fin as it appears to be having an adverse affect on my hair. I have huge regret and wish I would have never started! Thanks! I'
