Check This Very Chilling Video Of The Guy Who Went Through Hair Loss And Depression

[genetically_cursed]

yeah if I admitted hair loss bothered me i would be seen as weak and vain. nobody knows outside of here.

also on finasteride, one pill lowers DHT for 7 days; basically day 1 it is lowered from normal levels of 60-70ng/dl, to about 25ng/dl. day 2 it goes up by 5ng, day 3 it goes up another 5ng, until it reaches normal. you can see that lower doses have a lesser effect but 1.5mg is very near 5ng so it is worth just taking the 1.5mg to save money. it makes me wonder how people claim to get these severe sides when it doesn't even remove all DHT, it just reduces it; it makes me think the sides are really mostly in the mind.
I read that dutasteride actually reduces DHT to 0; so I guess on finasteride you will continue to bald very slowly and dutasteride if it works for you will stop you completely? (or will stop DHT damage at least) unless finasteride builds up in your body and that reduces DHT to 0?:

This fella from UK had 2 hair transplant done and he talks about his journey, depression he had to battle and all the challenges society puts on you after you start losing hair. Very calming video, great guy.

Blah, blah, blah.

Seriously, who does'nt go through that at one time or another?

sounds like a good chap. happy for him. FUT is better if you go to a top surgeon if not you are fucked for life.

do u take finasteride urself?

yes i take a quarter of FINCAR a day, so 1.25mg a day.
i don't actually take it every day some days i will forget but according to that chart my DHT should still be supressed.
i don't use minoxidil at all due to it aging your face (i don't know if it is true or not but i don't want to risk andMinox doesn't actually do anything to stop DHT damage anyway)

also at that dutasteride study, damn, i thought dutasteride was no more effective than finasteride but it looks like i might be wrong, time to do some more studying

The sides are mostly through the affects on neurosteroids and the receptors

The raise in estrogen doesnt help either

If finasterid would only affect dht this would be great and besides dry eyes and some problems in the libido/fertility section we probably wouldnt experience much sides. However unfortunately this isnt the case

i thought finasteride only affected DHT (it inhibits 5ar type 2, which is the enzyme that converts T to DHT) - i was unaware it does anything else?
now wether DHT is used in the brain or not is a different question
