Harv whats your free T like ? If you didn't get a big E spike from starting finasteride (which obviously we can know) then there shouldn't be reason for your libido to necessarily drop.
What about your hair?? Did your hair grow
No ive just regressed over the past 9months. before fina my hair was better. i took finasteride to stop the inflamation and scalp tingle which it did but the first month gave me crazy sides which caused my hair to fall out, havent recovered since
You take both finasteride and dutasteride and didn't get hair growth!!! maybe you have another reason for hair lossNo ive just regressed over the past 9months. before fina my hair was better. i took finasteride to stop the inflamation and scalp tingle which it did but the first month gave me crazy sides which caused my hair to fall out, havent recovered since
Impossible to say dude . My T went up 20% on finasteride but my E went up 68% but I was still ‘in range’ . You really need to know your natural baselines to comment because we all have a different homeostatic balance.
Would you say your libido is higher than before finasteride ? And is finasteride helping your hair ?
yes my libido is definately higher since i started to taking finasteride.
finasteride is helping to stop inflammation and scalp tingling for sure but it 'damaged' my hair in the first month as mentioned
I really dont know whats preventing my hair from growing normally and its really fustrating, big mistake not doing my bloods before
There have been rare cases where finasteride hasn’t actually suppressed DHT and stays high through some sort of ‘backdoor’ synthesis.
I'm willing to bet your hair was already sh*t and was getting drastically worse when you finally got on finasteride. And since it didn't hault your loss right away, you pointed the finger at finasteride and dutasteride.its definately supressing my dht, my scalp dosent get inflammed anymore whislt on fina. The problem ia my hair went to sh*t in the first month cause of it and now my hair dosent grow back normally

It doesn't work that way.
If the drugs are not stopping hair loss, you're just not a responder, due to your genetics and extreme sensitivity to hair loss. In short, your follicles make the B list. But, there's still hope, keep taking it, because efficacy is up to two years. And that 2 years is especially for people with bad hair; for to turn that train around it takes quite some time.
For the time being you dont aromatase T (and androstenedione)into estrogens due to your enzyme function =genetics;
And other steroids not dependent on it did not stimulate the estrogen receptors (yet).
I mean, can happen
Im not sure what you're asking, but what you described can happen, but if i was you i would not go straight that way, even if i know people than endured your situation for a decadeSorry i dont understand?
