You hair loss is that bad huh? How do you avoid gyno and feminization?

Care to elaborate?

Feeling much better today. I think 90% of the "feeling like I'm gonna die" was coming from the massive oral doses of minoxidil. Didn't take any minoxidil today and I feel completely fine.

The spironolactone seems to go down very smooth as long as I drink a 1 tsp of salt in a glass of water twice a day. As stated, need to replace lost sodium and chloride.

You're talking a feminizing drug and you think drinking a tsp of salt water is gonna negate all side effects. You got a hair procedure done yet you're still turning to a potent drug used for feminization. Imo you're overreaching uselessly especially considering you plan to stop the spironolactone after 6 months? On top of that you're taking oral minoxidil, sounds like sexy cocktail for A man to be taking, anyways, that's just my opinion but I personally don't think you're in enough of a desperate position to be doing this to yourself.

Can you post your hair OP? I’m curious to see what it looks like for being on such an extreme regimen.

lol well please dont delete anymore

im gonna spend a free afternoon reading your posts mate

I'll try not to. :)

To be honest i trashed a lot of my posts that night. There isn't that much left and a lot of what's left has been truncated.

Eating weed always does weird things to me.

Enough is still here though of things I've researched etc.

Sorry but no. I'm too paranoid even when i'm not on weed to post pics of myself even if it's just my hairline on random web forums.

Right now I'm just on topicals:

7.5% RU
0.5% darolutamide
5% niacinamide
3.5% minoxidil

2 mL twice a day. Gonna add 1% desloratadine when it arrives (in the mail from China now).

I'm at a mild NW2 at most now, closing on a NW1.5 with fuzz coming in at the corners. Previously was a deep NW2 with thinning to the NW3 just two months ago, so I'm not doing bad at all.

It's crazy that you've pursued such an aggressive regime when you're an NW2.

I can relate to IdealForehead with regards to resorting to ourlandish treatments with minimal hair loss. I guess he suffers from severe anxiety, and i do too. I dont ever want my hair loss to become noticable, i will do almost anything to prevent that. He doesn't want people to notice his big forehead which is completely understandable. Anxiety does horrible things to people.

Damn man, I think that a low dose of Finasteride or 5% RU and 5% minoxidil is all you need really.

Although I can't really judge, I've been tempted to add in dutasteride a couple times a week although I'm basically a Norwood.5 at the worst.

I understand that but spironolactone is a drug trans women use for transitioning, I could barely imagine taking that if I were NW7, let alone NW2. Like seriously no one but a Norwood spotter can even tell an Norwood 2 from a 1.

Its also a drug men and women use to treat acne. I was on spironolactone myself but it didnt really do anything for my hair, i shed alooot.
