Propecia

[medilook]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]In the event you don't read all of my posts, I had lost all of my hair at my temples by age 22. I was a Norwood 3 at age 25. It's just ****ing HAIR! I KNOW what having a full head of hair means to a man (Duh! I had a transplant!). Guess what? I only had the front done (it's thin but so what!!!???) and the crown is all but gone. Think I'll go on Propecia? **** NO!!!! NEVER!!!! To jeopardize your health for the rest of your life just isn't worth it! What good is having hair (and getting women) if you can't get a damn erection and furthermore... may not even want sex... for life? That's too heavy a price to pay in my book. I was on Propecia for 4 months before I threw that **** in the garbage! Too bad we didn't meet earlier, I could have given you two years worth of poison.[/FONT]​

God damn? I told you so. Get off that ****ing **** now! I told you to Google "propecia and sexual side effects". The majority of people do well?​

Bull****.

What about the people that don't? The side effects can be and often arepermanent! There are countless guys in their 20's that will never enjoy sex again without a penile prosthesis/implant. Is your hairline worth that? The side effects only grow worse with time. Scientists are hard at work trying to find out exactly what changes take place in the body after Propecia has been administered in an attempt to reverse it. I was told by one researcher that Propecia permanently alters the androgen receptors basically rendering you female as your body no longer responds to androgens the same. He said that even at high doses of testosterone, former Propecia patients exhibited minimal benefit.​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]The list goes on and on. Why do you bother asking for my advice and then do EXACTLY what I told you NOT to do? Propecia/Finasteride/Fincar and Dutasteride all change your body on the cellular level by systemically inhibiting the formation of DHT by the alpha-5-reductase pathway. Guess what dude?... DHT is NOT the primary cause of androgenic alopecia. It's merely a piece of the puzzle. Your body NEEDS DHT... especially your penis! I'm sorry for being so livid but please medilook... don't ask me for advice again. I've offered you advice on a number of topics only to see you take the exact opposite approach. I only hope you don't end up regretting this for the REST OF YOUR LIFE.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]! I have no hesitation in supporting a topical DHT blocker. Systemically suppressing DHT is a bad idea. Period. Also, the method in which DHT is blocked systemically is of the utmost significance. As to your friend, the first link I provided is a support group. Don't know if he's aware that such exists. There are several support forums online for Propecia sufferers filled with members in their 20's and 30's that may suffer for the rest of their lives. Regrettably, your friend may never regain potency. As I'm 40 and starting losing hair at 22, I've researched Minoxidil, Dutasteride and Propecia, among others, for nearly two decades. None of these drugs will give you all of your hair back. However, you may completely lose your libido and ability to perform. Minoxidil has not exhibited such sexual side effects but does have some negative effects of its own. DHT helps make a man, a man. Only guys that would rather look like women and feel like women should take Propecia. Nice, long, luxurious hair and oh so sensitive. LOL Stay away from that ****. I'd rather shave my head and be a stud in bed with a nice physique, personality, etc. Women don't give a **** about your hair as much as one would think. They want an intelligent, caring, devoted and loving man to protect them and provide for them. They could care less if you have the hair of Thor. Some very vain women only date men with full heads of hair or even with long hair. Screw them. Androgenic alopecia is not life threatening in any way. If something killed my ability to perform in bed, I'd be threatening somebody else's life. End of story.[/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] Posted 02/15[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] #13 [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Yeah. I had a transplant. No more Propecia was taken. I've since lost more hair and my crown was almost completely bald. I shaved that **** off! Ironically, my wife thinks its super sexy on me. Hair-loss in men (androgenic alopecia) is androgen related be it prostaglandin, DHT, Testosterone, etc. Why on earth would you inhibit what makes you a man? I too was told that it was harmless years ago. I knew enough about endocrinology to know that it wasn't a good idea. I tried if for 6 months out of desperation before developing erectile dysfunction. I believe Propecia is responsible in part to my Peyronie's Disease (medical studies prove it). You never know when you will experience side effects. It could be years down the road after you've been off the drug for some time. What good is a full head of hair if you land a girl and then can't perform? Try using a topical DHT inhibitor if it bothers you that bad but for God's sake, never take that poison. Some men will never have sex again due to it. Some have committed suicide. Screw that! It's only hair. I'm not going to waste all day telling you just how bad a drug finasteride is... But don't come crying when your junk shrinks and you have no libido... A transplant is the best solution at present. Systemically inhibiting any androgen will have horrific consequences.[/FONT]

Moved to correct subforum as I can't move it to propeciahelp, where it belongs. Now if you post a duplicate or another pointless thread, I will just delete it. You have been warned OP.

 

[IrishFella]

You still going on about this? It's beyond boring.

 

[Quantum Cat]

he's an attempted troll and probably should be banned.

Only yesterday he claims he went to see a real life hair surgeon who told him not to pay any attention to Propeciahelp or the online scaremongering

I don't know what the purpose of this cut-n-paste job is, or what he's trying to achieve.

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

I agree QC, was toying with banning him. It's pointless trying to have a discussion with him as he is either too blinkered or thick, to engage.

 

[Wuffer]

Seriously OP, do you expect people to read this and take you seriously? You're ranting inanely, and people here aren't receptive to posts like that. If you have a story to tell, tell it without spewing propaganda.

 

[medilook]

I didn't write that. Some other member wrote that when I ask for his opinon and experience on finasteride. That's what he reply back with
