quitting finasteride

[nohawk]

My penis is slowly dying and my testicles are turning into raisins. Will I lose a lot of ground if i quit finasteride but keep minoxidil? can the minoxidil keep the hairs intact?

Wow thats scary man. I feel for you. Im too young for this drug, and im glad, otherwise i would have been extremly disapointed by the product. Minoxidil can slow down the balding process. My doctor said it wont stop it, but you can get some regrowth. ITs best to start the topical treatment first, so stay away from propecia stuff and try minoxidil.

Ive been on it for about 3 years. It definitely slowed down the loss and did a good job at maintaining, hair probably got a little thicker too. But I have been taking only .5mg of the drug for all these years, and I have finally hit the point of limp-dick. I am 24, healthy, and in good physical shape. I tried endens zinc treatment. The first time it worked like a charm, the second time(now) its not doing sh*t. I'm just going to reduce my dosage to 1/4 of a pill (.25mg) per day, and then slowly get off. Its not worth losing my dick over.

I have started applying rogaine to my hairline, hopefully that lessens the shedding that is to ensue from quitting finasteride.

Believe me dude,

Once you get PFS, you'd definitely regret over it, like I do all the time.
There are many other 'SAFE' alternatives.
