Taking Propecia for 5 Months, Hair Worse Than Before

My question is about Propecia. I have been on it for almost 5 months now and I have experienced a terrible shed. It is now almost 5 months that I have been shedding and it does not seen to improve, even after all this time. My front hairline is now much worse and Propecia has made my hair much more thin than it ever was before. If Propecia does not cause balding, then why is it doing this to me? I would have been much better off not taking it at all. Will the hairs grow back that shed or have I lost them forever?

Clearly what you are telling us is very unusual. Usually the hair loss stops or slows in less than 5 months. I would certainly check with your doctor for the possibility that you have a cause of hair loss that is not classic male patterned hair loss.
