Hey ya'll. I've been lurking these forums for a bit, i too am losing hair and is currently at a norwood 1.5 @ age 24.
I have an appointment with Dr. Rafael Freitas that i've been waiting on for a long time, which is nearly due.
I was told that finasteride is a necessity in order to obtain "best results", and i did what i was told to do, to purchase finasteride and use it pre & post surgery.
I bought finasteride with no scepticism, all these stories about finasteride side-effects to me seemed extremely exaggerated, and i went in completely open-minded.
I popped the first pill, and i sh*t you not, 10 minutes later i could feel the side effects, mostly being numb in my genital area/prostate. The worst part of it wasn't being numb, but losing the ability to feel aroused, or having sexual thoughts, i mean, it makes sense. The pill surpresses DHT by 60-70% or so. I took the pills and threw it in the bin, and i sh*t you not, my scepticism towards finasteride and the horror stories exists now, cause reacting to a 1mg pill so strongly shouldn't have too huge an impact on a person, but mother of f***, it did.
It's been 2 days since i took it, side-effects are 90% gone, mostly the limp dick & sexual thoughts.
I cancelled my appointment for a hair transplant, took my money back.
Guys, if you're in your 20's and still "young", try to refrain from using this, i don't have much experience with it only tried one pill, but the side effects don't seem to be worth it. Get on finasteride when you're older and married or some sh*t, i can't ever see myself being on this for one year, i can't imagine the damage it does to you since we're talking about a pill that surpresses a powerful hormone.
Backstory: Normal dude, never been on any sort of drugs of medication before, never had any health issues.
