So I've been on RU for around a month now and I am getting some heart/chest pain and I think it's making my heart beat a little faster.
This may be nocebo but I'm not sure, I'm thinking maybe switching to another AA like alfatradiol I'm just kinda concerned I may get a big shed from stopping RU or something. I am also on finasteride and have been for about 2 months so I wouldn't be using said AA on its own just as added protection.

If anyone has any advice i'd gladly listen

Thanks in advance.

I recommend just using finasteride. Don't throw the whole kitchen sink at the problem when you may only need finasteride.

That may be true I think I may have been a bit paranoid and decided to just give RU a try but I think it has helped tho, I'd probably just stay on RU but it's the possible long term effect I'm concerned about and I have been getting sides from it like my heart beating faster and chest/heart pain but I'm also concerned I may shed a lot or lose hair if I switch to a different AA

Yeah, I wouldn't risk heart problems for hair.

Yeah, thats why i'm considering switching to a different AA but the main concern is a possible shed from quitting RU

Try breezula (cb 03 01), at least this one has a future and isn't a shady chemical

Hmm, I'm not so up to date with the current status. What happened? Is the side effect profile too aggressive?
No it just doesn't seem to have long term efficacy. The 6 month mark looked promising but then the 12 month mark looked disappointing.

I would try cb 03 01 but as it is now it seems shadier than even RU58441 that why I wanna wait for brezula but I ordered some alfatrodiol may look into fluridil after that I'm kinda scared I'll get a shed from stopping ru or lose more hair which if I do i might just get back on RU and just see what happens lol

Have a few variations of RU58441. I haven’t seen it do a damn thing. I’m waiting for it to get used up.

Used 3.5g in minoxidil bottle 2X for a few years - really did not do much just drain my wallet.
