Hi guys,
I've been on oral finasteride 1mg for a year and a half and halted balding, gained a noticeable difference in hair quality (thickness) on the drug but i have a problem. After losing a lot of weight, hitting the gym a lot and dieting, which i believe has raised my T levels significantly through natural means, my hairloss has rebooted and it's going quite fast.
I would really switch to dutasteride in a second if i could, but my sides are really bad on finasteride, have not had a real boner since going on finasteride, and i'm genuinely concerned my d*ck will die forever if i lower dht by upto 30% more.
So i have a question: am i correct in thinking that topical finasteride won't lower my blood dht significantly given i am already on oral finasteride 1mg? i heard that 5mg finasteride is similar to 1mg, so it would seems quite safe to add in topical finasteride to test the DHT localization theory, without lowering serum dht by a lot?
f*ck i'm even considering oral minoxidil (topical never worked for me) to last through my 20s, 23 is too f*cking young to be taken by the norwood reaper, but it looks deadly, and i doubt New Zealand doctors would give it. Anyone been on this long term?
