Discerning 4 Month Review On Finasteride

[DHTcel]

Alright here is my review of finasteride.
Details:
-Worked for 1.5/4 months on it
-Stopped working for the last 2.5 months
-Started it at 16 from dermatologist
-Started balding at 14

Side Effects:
-increased sex drive
-deeper voice
-increased muscle mass
-decreased body fat
-more acne
-more body hair
-increased testicle size
-increase of total testosterone from 913ng/dL to 1130ng/dL after 2 months from baseline
- and increased hair loss after the 1.5 months it stopped working for

basically one day after a month and a half I was on the medication, one day I noticed my hair was harder to style and later that same day at school I had enraged libidio. That night I noticed my legs start to hurt and I pulled down my pants and saw that there was acne there now. The acne issue is basically 100% solved from 1-2% ketoconazole and same with the body hair since I clean shave 1x a week now. The only issue is now I've used dutasteride too at 2.5mg dose and that isn't helping either. I think I have hyperandrogenicity, so I will try out topical estradiol-17-beta since that has a stronger potency than testosterone and would not cause AR up regulation unlike how Anti Androgens do.

Your current regimen according to you is:

Topical minoxidil 7%
topical finasteride 0.1%
keto 1-2%
finasteride 1 mg ED
dutasteride 2.5% ED
RU 500mg/ml
ocooo459 20mg/ml
dermaroller 1.5mm
oral minoxidil 12.5mg
mk-677 ED

I believe that this regimen isn't working for you because you are not eating enough grapes. Eat a few a day and that should give your current regimen the kick start that it needs.

Hey bro, a lot of those sides you listed are actually side effects from puberty... Which you're still going through at 16.

 

[ScaredOfBalding]

He is clearly mentally fucked. Don't pay any attention to him.

If you are taking all that indeed, you are a walking androgen bomb.

They haven’t been in your shoes, I get it man, not completely, but i started balding at 19 but would definitely freak the f*** out at 16!! How do you feel though; like overall well being on these treatments? 4 months is really not long enough to tell but 16 is also a little too young to even be onnthese treatments so you gotta understand why people freak out when they read your story.

I feel sorry for you that you start balding that early. However, your way of treating your hair loss is madness kid. I really hope that you're just trolling and not taking all these meds bc taking these amounts of antiandrogens at your age will most probably give you permanent effects. If you really take all that sh*t, definitely overthink your treatments and talk to a doctor/parents/psychologist..

I do take all these treatments and I can post photos if necessary. I am going to try topical estradiol (estrogen) in 2 days and topical enzalutamide later but if those don't work I will keep trying.

This dude is a fking troll. How can he be 17 and even get these treatments lol.
