My Hairline Is Vanishing Is Time To Take The Finasteride Plunge?

[ToonArmy]

Hi
So basically have watched my hair go to sh*t for the last 2 years, i have great density in the back and middle but my hairline especially the left side have just dramatically got worse in the last 3 months I think minoxidil played a part in that.

I love my hair its part of me, I am quite skinny so going bald is just a horrid thought.


I took finasteride about a year ago and got a nose bleed maybe it was linked maybe it was not very hard to say, I got off it shortly after that because I was still going through the denial stage of maybe its just a mature hairline (Stupid I know), I have been researching the drug for too long now I know the side effects I know the risks, I have had brain fog in the past when i was 18 and it was horrid (It wasn't caused by medication) so I know how powerful the mind is.

I have been thinking about this for 2 years and it is becoming exhausting

My question maybe it's just some reassurance but is it time now to start finasteride is there any point in taking it just for the hairline? I suppose I am scared of the side effects but am also scared to go bald.

Can someone who had similar experiences share there wisdom or just give me some hope at least lol

Thank you

People on this forum will argue both sides for and against using finasteride pretty heavily. The reality is this:
Yes people get sides and for a small % it can be pretty devastating. Most dont, or like me they get sides but they're pretty manageable (low libido).

At the end of the day you need to ask yourself if when your hairline goes completely and you continue to lose the rest of your hair in your 20's will that be okay for you and your mental state. If not, its best you take finasteride, which in many peoples cases could best be described as the lesser of the two evils.
