Can you still experience hair shedding after being on 1mg Fin for a while?

Finasteride/Dutasteride 5/2/2026

Creatine might increase DHT levels, potentially affecting hair loss, but its impact is debated. Some users experience hair shedding with creatine despite using finasteride, while others notice no change.

The user has been on finasteride for 17 months to treat hair loss, with some improvement in the crown but still experiencing significant shedding. They are considering if finasteride alone is sufficient and are hesitant to use minoxidil due to a pre-existing condition, while another person suggests trying dutasteride.

The user has been on oral finasteride and minoxidil for six months without seeing hair loss stabilization and has started taking dutasteride twice a week. Other users shared their experiences with hair loss treatments, with one suggesting dutasteride might be more effective than finasteride.

The user shared their positive experience with hair loss treatment using 1mg finasteride, 0.5mg minoxidil, vitamins, ketoconazole shampoo, and a thickening shampoo, noting significant progress and minimal side effects. They emphasized the importance of trying treatments despite initial shedding and shared their routine for managing frizzy hair.

A user's experience with hair loss treatments such as finasteride, ketoconazole, and oral minoxidil that have not yielded any results; other users suggest shaving the head or getting a wig, while others offer additional advice such as seeing a dermatologist, checking thyroid levels, switching to dutasteride and adding needling, and trying stemoxydine.
