My last ditch attempt with finasteride failed miserably

[ghg]

So I've been on finasteride again for 4,5 months now. No improvement in anything, not in scalp itching, not in hair growth, nothing. I also got increased urinal dripping (I can't seem to empty my prostatis properly), it's horrible to get like a teaspoon of urine in your pants a little while after peeing. I'm tired all the time, can't sleep properly, etc, I feel cold most of the time and still have very dry skin but oily and flaky scalp.

It pains me to admit that finasteride doesn't work for me and quit this battle once and for all. Genes are a f*****g b**ch especially if you've been handed the shortest straw in every aspect. Dunno what I'll do next, it's not a nice thought to just sit and wait for complete baldness.

I feel cold most of the time

Could that be because you live in a Polar region :whistle: ?

Seriously though, why do you torture your body? If, it doesn't work for you, just give it up.

 

[ghg]

^ It's not that easy to admit it since it's pretty much the only treatment (besides minoxidil foam which I've used for too long anyways) that I can afford. Yeah well I live up in the north but it isn't that cold indoors lol.

 

[virtuality]

it isn't that cold indoors lol.

Why do all the Finns say the same thing?? All the Finns I've met keep repeating that their houses are very warm.. Makes me wander if you actually live in saunas or normal houses.

Anyway, this isn't related to the subject.

Have you noticed less shedding at all? You are 28 years old, so maybe your male pattern baldness will slow down a bit, with or without internal dht inhibitors. Sorry finasteride isn't working out for you.

Shave it off. Skip the agony of slowly seeing your hair disappear.

try dutasteride?

 

[ghg]

If that's you in the picture you look like you have mature hair line is all! Don't look balding

Oh noes, not this again . Yeah well diffuse thinners don't look bald in pics when there's no direct light on top of their heads. Even under a dim light the hair on top of my head becomes unexistant.

try dutasteride?

If finasteride fucks my prostate up this badly I wonder what dutasteride would do? Anyway, I can't get my hands on dutasteride, no doctor here would prescribe it for hairloss. Funny thing is that my dad is on dutasteride for prostate problems and I think it has helped his hair some. Lol. I don't share his hair type or balding pattern, though. He developed a mature hairline pretty early but his hair remained thick until mid to late 50's. His hair is also black and mine is brown.

I already do a #0 with clippers every week or so. I don't think I'll ever shave slick, I don't like the look.

 

[uncomfortable man]

Sorry bud, just have to let the b**ch have her way. b**ch being mother nature..

It sucks to lose hair but if that is you in your profile picture then at least be content that you pull off the balding look. Most of us can't.

You have the Jason Statham thing going for you. As for people like me, I don't think girls would give me a second glance if it wasn't for my hair.

 

[wessneijder]

ghg I know how you feel bro. I went to see a f*** buddy about 50 miles away and was really disappointed when I got there and she could not give me an erection. It's been 2 weeks since I have taken finasteride but still libido not back to normal.

But then again I was able to whack off to completion. Maybe it was just nerves?

I feel fatigue in my legs and brain fog when I am on the drug. But you must put yourself through hell to keep your hair. Don't give up.

 

[ghg]

^ Yeah I would tolerate the sides if finasteride was actually working for me. I was on it for 1,5 years earlier and I didn't think it did anything. At least my hairloss progressed while on it, dunno if it slowed it down but I doubt it. It was a pretty desperate last ditch attempt to get back on it... but hey, I WAS and still am desperate. Fatigued legs are something I can relate to.

 

[s.a.f]

To be fair though if your nearly 30 and you've been on this site for 5 yrs or so what were you expecting? I'd say a 23 yr old who's just noticed some thinning could possibly expect to see some regrowth but not someone who's been losing it for years.
We all know that with hair loss treatments the sooner you get on them and the smaller the degree of loss you have the more the chance of it working.

 

[gh05]

I agree with those who say don't mistreat your body with finasteride.

Given your picture, you look great without hair. You have a good looking face and can pull off the bald look - women will like you regardless. Shave it/keep it short and your'e a great candidate for the 'go to the gym, get a tan blah blah'. Actually you don't even need a tan I don't think.

 

[ghg]

Yeah I guess my expectations were totally unrealistic and it was stupid to jump back to the finasteride train. I've been off of it for 3 days now and notice ball ache. Nice. I hope it passes soon.

The ball ache is from you getting a semi-erection and not ejaculating over a period of a few days. Those little tubes get clogged up with sperm. I had my doctor check on it one time and that's what he found.

I have not gone days without ejaculating :gay: .

Hey Wess, I think you need to change alias. Sneijder has done a hair transplant now :whistle:

 

[WillNotLetItHappen]

Sorry but why not go generics? You can get dutasteride if you want. And aren't there enough people claiming success with topicals etc.?

I wouldn't want to give up if I were you. Even though you look cool with a shaved head! :bravo:

RU-whatever is so damn expensive, hard to get, etc. that I don't want to go that route. All other topicals seem inefficient to say the least. I really don't want to mess with dutasteride after what has happened with finasteride. I think my dick has suffered enough lol.
