I had been taking Finasteride for around four months until I stopped due to side effects. I was off the drug for around three weeks but then began to think that the side effects were psychosomatic so I decided to start taking it again. I was wondering if I could have suffered some hair loss during my brief break?
There’s really no way for me to know if you lost hair after your brief finasteride vacation (I don’t have access to any before/after miniaturization mappings), but I’d suspect that it’s possible to lose hair in as early as 3 weeks time.
Side effects are entirely possible (thought the percentage is small), and there are plenty of times that these side effects are psychosomatic. I mean, some men even documented hair growth when they were taking a placebo. The mind is a powerful thing.
