Originally posted on Reddit I'm a 36-year-old male, and I've just hit the 32-day mark on my new medication routine. Honestly, I'm at the point where I want to just shave it all off because of how bad the shedding has become. The Regimen: Compounded Pill: 1.2mg Finasteride + 3mg Minoxidil in one tablet. Frequency: Daily. The "Dreaded Shed": I knew things might get worse before they got better, but this feels drastic. I can see much more of my scalp in the mirror now than I could a month ago. I used a camera flash for the latest photos, and the density loss is very obvious. Current Feeling: "I wanted to keep taking progress pics, but at this point, I want to shave bald from how bad it looks. Has anyone else survived a shed this heavy?"
