Haven't you spoken to a doctor? There are supplements such as Clomid that can help your body produce hormones but don't be an idiot and start taking random **** without the supervision of a professional. If you can at least find a dr who is sympathetic with you then you can have him/her speak to someone who's more experienced with PFS victims and maybe they can guide them as to how to help you.

I took a break, 4 months. Now I`m back, at 0.5mg / day.
I don't like the idea of taking a drug everyday, forever.. I may quit for good in a couple years.. then shave my head and that's it. I'll be 41 by then. don't care THAT much.. and in my BJJ world even guys with a full head of hair still shave anyways.. lol
I feel normal after all these years.. Actually, feel depressed to know that I have Androgenetic Alopecia and need to use this ****..
Now, I can tell you a lot of things you are feeling may be due to stress / anxiety. I know, it may sound crazy. But it can be true..
take care.

I started using it when I quit finasteride. It's been 5 weeks now, but the thing doesn't do much more than grow thin hair! Very disappointed to this moment. But I am still using it, seems like the result peaks in 4 months.
Besides, I use it only in me temples, it's also a drug (heart one), and I don't want to apply it to my entire scalp and risk getting a lot absorbed and getting some nasty sides.

No man.. Honestly, during these years I totally forgot about hair loss.
Was, what I believe a NW0. When I started taking it, I did not know how it worked what it was.. "it worked" you know?
zero sides (maybe watery semen here and there, maybe light ball ache, who knows it was from much fapping?
) never bothered me, and I never associated with finasteride. I always had a very active lifestyle (biking, running, BJJ, weights) 6 times a week. I don't like trash food either. Don't eat any sugar, drink any soda, etc. But that's just my life style. Not because of finasteride.
So, I decided to quit because some friends warned me about the drug, what it was, that ppl where having all kinds of issues, it could give me problems in the long run, etc etc.. Being hypochondriac, went online read a ton of ****, freaked out......got into a big depression mode, for months.. During this time, my hair went havoc.. total volume decreased in like a month or so. And thinned overall.. Which helped with my stress.. got a severe insomnia from this stress (never had it in my whole life), I thought I was getting PFS..
Well, now, I decided to jump back on it at 0.5mg. For at least a couple years. Then I will decide what to do.
I still don't know if it is a viable option for a lifetime, and I think nobody knows. Only thing I know for sure, is that I was a happy ignorant!!!!!

Have you ever spoken to a dr who's experianced with PFS victims? There are a few out there and they help quite a few people in your situation improve the quality of their lives. If you indeed have gut issues that should be easy to diagnose.
Well, that's your problem. Look online and find a doctor with experience dealing with the issue. San Diego Sexual Medicine deal with PFS patients.
So, I assume you've tried hormone therapy?

This drug is poison. Risking your life and health to maybe slow down hair loss.
"Finasteride sides are all in your head, you can't possibly experience side effects by inhibiting a bodily enzyme and lowering a male hormone 70 percent"
