@Finjunkie, which generic are you on? Which shampoos do you use?

sorry about all the hate in this thread, it’s pretty ridiculous

I use whatever pharmacy gives me, probably changed generics a dozen times. They use whatever is cheapest

I started out on brand name because the generic didn't exist at the beginning. Then switched to cutting 5mg in fourths for a short time before generic for 1mg came out.

I also used minoxidil for the first couple years, till it was apparent that it wasn't doing anything for me.

I buy giant bottles of the cheapest body wash possible and use it to clean everything lol.

Last ~9 years has been just finasteride on the days I remember to take it. I probably forget once a week or so and double up after.

IMO people don't give finasteride enough time to work. I didn't get any hair back from using it, but I also never lost ground. I took it for years before I was absolutely sure it was working for me.

Dont use generics they dont work. Use brand propecia then you can have full Faith and trust in it.

How about no? I been using random generics since day generic propecia came out with no problems.

I would say 70% of meds given out at pharmacy are generic. Are you saying 70% of drugs don't work? Seems... Extremely unlikely.

Yeah I come back every year because I'm living proof that finasteride works.

I spend $35 a year on it, you really think I'm some kinda shill? Lollll. I got way better sh*t to do for $35 a year.

People that think "shills" are advertising for cheap generic drugs are hilarious. Yeah I'm sure one of the 10 companies that sell generic finasteride for 2 cents a pill really gives a sh*t and has a huge advertising budget.

I haven’t seen any proof in your posts that it works. None. You posted about the same three pictures over 10 years lol I see no improvement when you first started taking it. A before and after pic. Just a guy receeding over a period of ten years. Normal. Says his brother is in prison and bald lol

Of course there's no improvement. Finasteride rarely grows any hair back. I didn't grow back anything. Not even M->F trans hormones will grow hair back for most.

But I haven't receded at all in 11 years when I was NW2 by 21. I don't know what other evidence you want. The sh*t works, I would be completely bald by now if I wasn't on it. Both other men in my family were totally bald by 30 and started receding at the same age I did. I was receding fast and it stopped immediately as soon as I got on finasteride.

I don't know why you find this hard to believe? There's multiple studies on thousands of men followed over many years. And over 80% of them in every study stopped losing their hair on finasteride, just like I did.

Go look at my past threads if you want to see other pics... It looks the same every year and I've taken them many years.

There's little point to taking pictures when finasteride has completely stopped my hairless.

Says his brother is in prison and bald lol

He is. Over 3% of adult US males are in prison. Again, why is this so hard to believe???

Every little f*****g thing you don't agree with has to be some crazy conspiracy theory. It's exhausting. You should tighten your tinfoil hat, I think the 5g is getting in.

You literally don't process any thought besides "He had a different experience than me, so he must be lying! I wonder what he's lying about!". Think about this: What if the mountain of evidence that finasteride works for 80%+ of men is true, and I'm not lying at all? And you were just part of the other 20%? have you considered that?

I’m not saying finasteride doesn’t work. Seen it work well for many people on here, at the cost of some libido of course. Can’t reduce DHT by 70% and not experience some lowered libido imo. I had a mate with a nw2 man bun at uni in 2010. Used to laugh at him. He still has the same man bun today. No meds.

Didn't happen to me. No side effects at all.


DHT is a secondary sex hormone to testosterone which finasteride doesn't effect. I'm not saying it's not possible to affect libido. But I don't think it's very common.

I believe you incredible results . But it seems like a lot of people still lose ground with finasteride with aggressive hair loss

This is true. My libido shoots up when I take finasteride.

Also libido is based on other factors than just hormones exclusively.

That’s a bad sign imo. My libido increased initially, followed by some lowered libido. Only when I quit did I experience ED. That’s why it’s called post finasteride syndrome.
recovered now but I only took it for a year. RIP you lot at 10+years
