I've been taking quartered 1mg Finasteride tablets every day since the end of August, about 3 1/2 months now. I tried Rogaine foam for about a month, but I noticed that I had a puggish face whenever I smiled, so I discontinued it. So far the results are underwhelming - there's some regrowth poking out from within the hairline at the temples, and small, barely visible fuzz below it. The slight recession at the middle of my hairline is unchanged.
Had side effects for the first 2 months, which were a slight decrease in libido, softer erections, and dry eyes. They're gone now.
I'm a NW1, I think, and Asian if that's relevant.
Can I expect my hairline to be lowered by taking finasteride alone, even if slightly? If not, are there alternatives to minoxidil that don't fatten my face?
- Left temple
- Right temple which is worse off than my left
UPDATE: Starting nizoral twice a week. (12/27/2014)
UPDATE: Quit finasteride on February 12. Right now it's March 6 and I feel better than when I was on finasteride.
