Long story short - finasteride is ruining my relationship for obvious reasons. Additionally, it's causing brain fog that I'm really not a fan of.

I need to stop finasteride, but my biggest fear is that a different treatment wouldn't be able to hold onto the hair that finasteride has kept me for the past 6 years.

I've tried minoxidil but had heart palpations, so not a fan of that.

I tried PRP, but the results were weak and costly.

I've had a consultation regarding Dutasteride Mesotherapy, but this scares me due the lack of research and the fact it's barely offered in the UK.

I'm at a last resort here, any advice for anyone I'd truly appreciate.

Only option is experimental research chemicals like RU or CB.

Use low dose finasteride man

Like 0.2-0.5mg EOD

finasteride has long half life in blood and tissues, daily dosing is overkill.

If this doesn’t work either for you then get a hair transplant

I tried going down to 0.5, despite having a quite significant reduction in side effects (which backs up your claim), I got quite serious shedding and decided to go back up to 1mg :(

Is this oral dutasteride? I'm tempted to give dutasteride mesotherapy a try but the lack of research and uptake by the public scares me
How come you haven't tried mesotherapy, given the side effects?
Dutasteride made my hair wayyyy worse I wish I never used it man. It wasnt just Side effects. Ever since Going off that sh*t My hair is thinning x10 Times slower.
