Greetings. I would rather wish to understand the cause of Sudden excessive hair loss in you. Yes finasteride does have side effects but since you have a long time for your wedding, its ok, since finasteride completely washes out of the system in seven days after you stop taking it . I hpe you are also taking proper hair growth lotions and adequate nutritious diet and supplements if necessary. See / follow up with a qualified dermatologist near you .
