Thanks for using the forum.

Considering all your body is going through at this point I recommend that you speak with your doctor before you start any new medication. Stress can cause hair loss, so this may be something temporary. Speak with your doctor about your concerns. Your doctor will be familiar with your medical history and be able to give you the most accurate information about what effect finasteride will have on you.
