Still losing hair on finasteride 20

[JohnSmith21]

there is no difference between 0.5 every day and 1mg 3 times a week, both are total of 3mg a week.

Well there is a difference in my
Opinion. It is documented that there are non responders to .5mg. Also, .5mg blocks pretty much the same amount of dht as 1mg, so it doesn’t make sense that it would help sides. Taking it less frequently seems better for sides bc although the half life is short, 5ar doesn’t bounce back for a few days.

These doctors explain the logic

you're contradicting yourself. also the body always produces more 5-ar, and 24h after digestion finasteride will not longer be able to bind to any of the new 5-ar.

Did you watch the video? Lol. Your dht stays suppressed for many days, and scalp dht more importantly stays suppressed for even longer. Which is why 1mg MWF may be superior to .5mg every day

Very well said.
I feel like I’m speaking to a forum vet, this reply eased me nerves a lot, and gave me a push towards the introspection needed to accept being bald.
You’re 110% right, the forums are a leak in my tank of energy and sanity. Hopefully better treatments do come, but this post helped me see that if they don’t, its not the end of the world. Much love brother, thank you for your time :,)
I’m going to wait a little bit before the min like you said, however microneedling + oral castor oil might be something i look into in the very near future.

Much love. Ive also considered some cosmetic surgery in the future. Being bald with a 9/10 face and jaw wouldnt be so bad Theres more to being attractive than hair.
Microneedling seems promising so Ill definitely add that at some point.
If we are getting sides finasteride is probably working. Who knows where we'd be if we werent on finasteride.
Yeah, forums are full of tons of outspoken "red pill-ers" and backyard chemists constantly pulling each other down (though there are very valuable members here who have good experience with different treatments). Rarely do people who have lives to live wallow in self-pity all day.
Ill probably try to stay off the site for a while. Popping in to check only some threads.
Best of luck vomit! Ill update in a month

they literally says the body constantly creates new 5ar. I'm gonna stick 0.5, if I get sides maybe I'll change to 1mg MFW, either way there's probably a tiny non significant difference between the 2 methods.
