Off finasteride for good...

[ghg]

So I got tired of the sides and ineffectivity of finasteride and decided to quit for good. It's been over 2 weeks now and my sperm color is turning white again and I don't feel passive and tired as much as before. Actually last thursday when I went and played futsal (like I do every thursday), I felt that I played well for the first time in ages. I felt interested and more... into the game like I did before finasteride. It's hard to explain but there was something different for sure. I don't except the gyno to get completely reversed but it's good enough if it doesn't continue to worsen. Don't know why I've been so afraid to quit since finasteride hasn't given me ANY new hair nor maintenance, that's for sure. I'll continue with minoxidil foam 1x a day and see what comes out. If I lose my hair then I guess it will happen, nothing more I can do. I feel that I've achieved maintenance on the right side of my head where I'm using the foam. I only used it there because when I started the right side was a lot worse than left. Now it's vice versa so I'm sure the foam has done something. This whole hairloss business is all too easy for guys who are super-responders to finasteride or minoxidil, that's for sure :hump: . Anyway, I'm 100% sure I'm not going for hair transplant or wig route, no way. HM would be the only option for me if it comes out good. I've started going to gym and my goal is to get lean and also to build some visible muscle. But no tattoos or fake tan for me :mrgreen: .

Congratulations, brother. It seems like you're making some good, healthy decisions.

Speaking of sperm, this Avodart is fuckin' killing me. I mean, God... I'm shooting out water. Hah, disgusting, huh?

Anyway, keep up with the foam. I think that minoxidil gave me better results than internals. Keep it up.

Yeah same here, very watery sperm. It was disgusting alright. Not to mention the quite limp dick which I still get. Hopefully that too will cease. And I would probably be alright with the sides (except gyno) if finasteride would actually work for me!

i think you should try a topical anti androgen a long with your foam soon. im either going with flutagel topical 5 percent spironolactone or reviogen at night along with foam applied to buzz cut. ive been on finasteride for 12 months and now dutasteride 3 months and have had mantained and regrown some, but ive been getting more serious into bodybuilding and i feel dht is important for males agression in the gym. good luck man and i hope you take my advice and try a topical anti androgen at night to keep the dht and testerone low in your scalp. i think im gona wait and see how people respond to flutagel and if the responses are positive ill try that, if responses are bad its either spironolactone lotion at night or reviogen.

Yes i was just going to recommend that.

There are other options besides finasteride.

Yeah I have 5% spironolactone cream but I found it was a b**ch to apply. Maybe I should try it again... could it be liquified without altering its effect? It would be so much easier to apply as liquid.

Thats all psychological that. The sides are greatly exagerrated on this board. Its all in your mind seriously. Get off your *** and get motivated instead of blaming a drug, its all mind over matter. You're one of the most negative people ive ever encountered.

And you're one of the most stupidest if you really try to claim it's psychological that my sperm is watery on finasteride, my dick is limp and my breasts have grown. Get motivated my ***, how the f*** is one supposed to get motivated if he feels tired and unwilling 12 hours a day? I'm aware that the psychological sides can have been caused by something else but the physical sides are a different matter.

Don't know why pro-propecia folks are finding it so hard to accept that the drug causes side-effects for many? I'm not saying it will cause side-effects for everyone or that it can't help anyone 'cause it didn't help me. I speak of my personal experience and if you don't like it, sod off please... there are many amongst us who have gotten sides, even more serious than me.

Youch.

i think it is important for everyone to follow their own path.

Nonetheless....i do believe that there are other choices besides the big 3. For every story about a failure on one product, there is a success story for another.

I'd get on some topical anti androgen and bump the minoxidil to twice a day. Its not hard to apply if you get foam. If you can squeeze a copper peptide it would be even better but I'm not sure you will be able if you are on two topicals already. That would be a biatch to apply. Good luck bro

Yeah thanks man... it's too bad the finasteride didn't work for me, it would sooo easy to pop a pill every day (I already did that for 1.5 years so I know what I'm talking about). I still don't know about the spironolactone cream since it's hard to apply, very hard. I guess i could use it if I really wanted to but I feel it messes up my hair badly. spironolactone foam, anyone?
