side effects

Hi guys, [Im posting the same thing I posted on reddit yesterday FYI] First timer on Hairloss talk, but ive been reading this a lot. I'm from Sri lanka, small island in Asia. I had my first hair transplant two years ago when I was 27. It was 3000 grafts FUE, grew back very slow, lost most of...

First post here, sorry its so long... So a little background story: about a year ago I started noticing an increase in the amount of hair I was losing in the shower and in my hands after running them through my hair. Like most people I didn't think much of it at first, and looked for any...

Hi folks I've been suffering from hairloss for around 10 years ever since I turned 25 when I noticed gradual progressive shedding in the shower. I started a course of minoxidil 6 years ago but stopped taking it after 1 year due to life circumstances, the treatment was working but I just had...

Started using Kirkland Liquid Min 5% twice daily for the past three weeks and have noticed tinnitus in my ears. Starting the min is the only thing that has changed recently so I'm leaning towards that being the culprit. I have read posts here and other places saying other's have noticed tinnitus...

Hi Guys, I've started on my hair loss journey and thought I would start documenting my experience. I'm 26 with a receding front and crown. The problem with my hair is that its very very thin! I have been on minoxidil for 2 months so far and started taking 1mg of finasteride 3 days ago. So...

I'm 19, been off finasteride for about three months. I've only recently completely gotten over the sides it gave me (ED, brain fog, crashed libido, watery semen, etc), after a long time of dialing in my nutrition and heavy exercise. Today for the first time in a while I noticed shedding when I...

Hi, so I am 21 and recently i have been getting sides while on Finasteride (.5mg) . I have been on it for 3 months and it was generally going fine. I think about 1.5 months in i had similar sides but they went away within one week. I got my blood checked and my estrogen levels were normal, my...

Hi firstly thank you for accepting my request to join. I am a 69-year-old female. Over the years my hair has steadily thinned considerably. My doctor suggested I try Minoxidil extra strength 2mls twice daily rubbed into my scalp. I have now been using it for over 12 months. I have seen a little...

Here is a write up about why it took so long for me to start finasteride and my reasons for starting it now. https://kbhood.com/2019/02/01/i-just-took-finasteride-for-the-first-time/ Photos below are me at 24 and me at 26. I'm 34 now. DJ @ www.kbhood.com

Approximately 4 years ago I noticed the first stages of thinning, but did nothing but stress about it for about a year. Year 2. I began a lifestyle change: I quit smoking, starting exercising, eating healthy and began supplementing with Biotin. During this year I bought some silly things like...

So I'm 21, and my hair thinning like crazy. I've lost the temples and i'm diffusely thinning throughout. It's at the point where I either hop on finasteride or shave it, as I'd rather be bald than appear balding. I'd post pictures if I still needed any kind of confirmation on that, but I'm past...

Hi all, I'm a 55-year-old male and I started losing my hair (mostly on top) back in 2006. I'm also disabled, the result of a 1981 motorcycle accident where my spinal cord was injured. My medical/hair loss history is pretty long so I'll post it down below for anyone interested but if I could get...

I have been on Finasteride for about four years. For three of the four years, Finasteride worked great for my hair, and I had excellent regrowth and thickening. About a year year and a half ago the effects of Finasteride or my follicle sensitivity to DHT increased, and I am now losing hair at a...

I just wanted to say, since this forum is riddled with speculations, theories and horror stories. If you are starting/taking a new regime just stop looking for problems, that is the worst thing you can do and this is proven by science over and over again. If you are taking minoxidil/finasteride or even some...

How can people get erection/sex drive problems after being on finasteride? Think about it, when we were 16 to 18 years old, 99% of us had a full head of hair, and we were all FAPPING and getting ERECTIONS EVERYDAY/ALL THE TIME. We had a super high sex drive, but we technically had little to...

Hello. I had been using topical Kirkland Minoxidil 5% 1 ml twice a day for a week. This dosage gave me the following side effects: Headache Tachycardia (increased heart rate) Puffy face and heavy eyelids These effects affected the general quality of life. My head felt pumped with blood, and...

Hi I have been using minoxidil for two years, and I have had good results. However, in the last 20 months, I have had pain and cracking in various joints. MRI shows no injuries, and according to blood tests, I don't have any important illness. I have read that minoxidil greatly reduces...

Hi, I have hair loss. After a good 4 years of everyone on this forum telling me that I have “nothing to worry about... the only loss here is a loss of brain cells... retard”, the devil himself is knocking at the door. But wait, there’s a catch, because today I’m feeling quite...

Hello everyone. After a couple years of debating if I should get on finasteride, I decided to take my first pill on the 3rd of this month. I took the pill and about 15-30 minutes later, my penis was tingling, cold, and numb. My prostate/sphincter area (idk the proper name) felts tight and cold as...

hi, I’m 18 years old and my hairline has been receding since I was 15. It’s still fairly early and not that noticble unless I brush my hair back. It’s also starting to look thinner on top. I’ve been told Rogaine doesn’t work in the hairline, but would it work at just preventing any more hair...
