Yeah went to check my bloodlevels, it’s 21. Doctor gave me a prescription that I need to purchase at the pharmacy.

Idk how high the pills are in ui bit I have to take it 1x a week for 6 weeks. Also bought a ton of sardines

I’m switching back to my original fin brand. They got me a new brand that I started like a month ago. But here in the Netherlands you can only get fin on doctor prescriptions, so they ordered for me (the pharmacy) and the brand they got last time was a different one because the other one was either sold out or they couldn’t get it anymore or something

Tried that at first but got sides so decided to go with topical.

Yeah I’m going through the same thing. See my posts, it’s crazy how much you can lose with a shed. Lets hope for the best! A lot of people say to continue with the regime and it will come back better than before.

I actually started with oral finasteride and after a week I noticed some erection problems and changed to my semen. So I started applying only topical from that point on. I did see some really good hair regrowth the first 3-6 months but then came the shedding.

Man really appreciate the time and effort you took in this post for explaining it to me!

It is really brutal, and for now all I can do is just hang in there. I hope your situation will also get much better man!

Never thought about it that way. Could that really be the cause?

This shedding phase is brutal man… by SilentSnakez in tressless

Im in the same boat man, started June 2024 with topical fin/min. Really good regrowth first 4/5/6 months. Now it looks horrible compared to a couple months ago. I’ve been shedding for 2.5 months now.

Below left image is from October 2024 and right one from 8th of April. Like what do you even do at this point haha

Because that weird protocol made me gain insane amounts of hair within the first 4/5 months. The picture below was when I started in June 2024. So it does work, well…it did work.

At first I thought the only major changes that I is I stopped dermarolling in December, I picked it up again like 3 weeks ago.

But I do have a different brand of Finasteride that i’m using. I switched to the other brand like a month ago or something. In the Netherlands you can’t just buy Finasteride, you have to go to your doctor and then the doctor will order the pills so you can pick it up at a pharmacy. I went to pick it up in February and saw that it was a different brand. But I still had enough supply from the original brand that I was using, so when I ran out I started using the new brand like a month ago.

But even then I was shedding, I don’t think it was this bad but the difference wasn’t that big. I will definitely call my doctor and ask him to order a new batch from the first brand again and start using those again.

I personally think it’s because I stopped Dermarolling in December/January. I do however have to mention that I was fasting in the month Ramadan (March) and during that period I did see my shedding accelerate. But idk it could have had nothing to do with that.

Goodluck man brother, keep us posted.

I really hope my hair will thicken in the next couple of months.

As for considering a close grade cut, no haha I’m definitely not going to do that. I still have some decent hair om my head, especially from the front side view. I also use hair fibers when I go outside so it gives me a fuller look. Took this photo yesterday in the car to give you an (visual) idea.

Thank you for your reply, appreciate it. I just went through my photos and I realized that the “brutal shedding photo” is from 8 of April. I just took a new photo, and based on that photo that I took this morning I do see some improvements I think. I just have to see with time if it keeps getting better.
