[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 435911, member: 3388"] I've been taking Finasteride about three months now. The good news is that I haven't experienced any side effects and I don't think I'm losing as much hair after washing it. The hair that I do have seems to be growing faster than usual. The bad news is that the bald spots are still just as noticeable and if there is any "peach fuzz" like my hair stylist said she felt, I haven't noticed it. There appears to be a bit of new growth but it isn't enough to make any sort of difference. My hair is extremely thin, not just on top, although it's worse on top, but everywhere. Since I'm not experiencing any side effects, I'm going to continue taking it at least until the beginning of August, when I have another appointment scheduled with my dermatologist. I'm doing better emotionally even though I know I have less hair than I did at this time last year. I'm not sure if it's because I have so many negative things happening in my life right now that I just don't have time to dwell on it, or because I'm truly learning to accept it and get on with life. I'm amazed by the number of people who have read this thread and grateful to everyone who shared their experiences and provided suggestions/advice. Can't thank you enough for being here! I'll update again in August after I see my dermatologist. SFR P.S. When I asked my hair stylist how she managed to make my hair look fuller, she said it's because she uses a large round brush when drying it. I didn't believe I had enough hair to wrap around my large brush but I dug it out and tried drying my hair in sections, wrapping it around the brush. While it doesn't come out anything like it does when she styles it, lol, it does look slightly better. Hope someone else finds this tip helpful. [/QUOTE]
