30 Day Generic Finasteride Experiment

[Manochoice]

Morning wood loss isn’t mental. Watery semen is also one step closer to infertility. Watery semen can be permanent FYI even if u stop the drug. Finasteride can permanently alter the 5ar enzyme. That’s why many stop it but they retain the weight they took while on it.

Do u have any personal experience with Finasteride?

As in regrowth? Just from Fina?

Yeah, it worked like a dream. Bald spot at the crown was totally gone within a year and even some growth at the front.

Do u have any before and after pics? And all these gains without sides?

I used to have before pics, but this was over ten years ago and they got lost along the way. I am now 46 and most of my friends and brothers are bald or balding. No sides. I can go all night without peeing, which is something very few of my male friends can say. Given that finasteride at higher doses is prescribed for frequent urination, it may be due to that. Whether that itself is good or bad, I would have to look more into that.

Morning wood loss is inconsistent, sometime I wake up feeling like a donkey which was the case before I started taking finasteride. Also I can say for sure that the morning wood that I had when I was 13-26 is not the way I have it after 26 (before I started taking finasteride) so for me morning wood loss was natural with age.

Watery semen is also inconsistent. I talked to a few doctors who monitor a ton of patients on finasteride, they don't have an patients with side effects after stopping finasteride. I will continue to take finasteride as it doesn't really bother me, but I did change the dose to 1.25mg every second day as it stays in your system for 30 days.

Yes. I took it at a time where my hormonal profile wasn’t ideal. I had watery semen almost instantly, puffy nipples and fat gain. It isn’t the Estrogen, it’s just what this poison does to your liver and androgens. The androgen disruption itself causes the gyno. There is a small increase in total T for a while but there is also a monstrous elevation of SHBG so your total test means sh1t because your free T is now cut in half. On top of that, your prolactin is elevated and your adrenals go whack mode. Granted it doesn’t work with the same intensity in everyone but it will cripple anyone with low T due to depression/anxiety (not primary hypogonadal men). The body does try to get used to the drug and it balances eventually thus the true claims that testicular pain etc stop. But then T lowers, it doesn’t equally as fast as everyone but it does eventually and androgen receptors can wear off. This fcuking drug hits differently each fellow so you can never have a definitive answer, it’s a clear try and tell case. I just don’t see the logic behind it as it’s a drug u need to take all your life. Lifetime commitment to this drug is suicide. Plus it doesn’t really do a good job at stopping hair loss if the enzyme doesn’t respond as it should or if testosterone production is high in the first place.

Totally agree that it affects everyone differently that's why each person has to try it and decide if it's right for them.
