Time to investigate RU? It can be just as effective as Propecia but less chance of sides.

I've heard some people suggest it's worth weaning your way off Propecia as well, and maybe taking some zinc to help with the sides.

<<edit >>

actually it sounds like your testosterone levels were previously very high, I'd possibly be careful with the zinc

I think I'll just use the finasteride at a lower dosage to see if the sides subside. Right now I'm taking 1.25mg a day, so I'll cut them in half and take .625 a day and see what happens.


If not I'm not sure what to do...

And I've decided. I'm going to embrace the baldness. Unfortunately that is the only option I have. It f*****g sucks but I'm going to embrace the baldness! Thanks for the help everyone! This forum is great. If anyone has questions or anything just ask.

 

[kthxbi]

sorry to hear things are going badly, man. have you looked into any kind of topical anti androgens? RU for example?

EDIT: just saw that sir chugalot suggested the same thing. i really don't have any big knowledge on RU but i know that it seems to be ''the next big thing'' and should be at least worth a look.

 

[SydneyLosstarot]

I know it sounds pathetic but I just gave up. I mean, my hair is ugly regardless. I just need to deal with it.

 

[smitysmity]

Your hair is similar to mine except I have blonde hair. My solution right now is

1). Go all out, preserve what I have, hopefully grow some back.
2). Once I have figured out if I can regrow my hair or not, Ill fill in the gaps with either minor surgery or wait for cloning to come out to come out later once I have stopped losing hair.

If you're ready to just embrace it, then go for it!

If not, then you might look @ dutasteride. People with finasteride nsides have switched to .5 or .25mg w/o sides.

Seriously? I'm highly considering this then, because f*** it, let me keep my hair for a bit longer.....

 

[cuebald]

Did Finasteride do anything for your hair/body hair? I would say you have aggressive loss / high androgen levels (or sensitivity to them) as you are quite hairy for a 21 year old

I'd say that it's worth a try. It's not like you have much to lose

Yeah I'm pretty damn hairy for someone my age. It helped keep my hair thicker but that's about it.

 

[SydneyLosstarot]

I can't afford dutas at the moment but in the mean time I'll just hop back on the finny................

 

[SydneyLosstarot]

Feels like just yesterday I was posting on here how I'd hop back on the finasteride!

I never ended up getting back on it. Not sure what to do at the moment. Deal with hairloss or deal with the sides of finasteride....

Well...i was on propeica for 5 years and I now have permanent impotence along with other sexual side effects....To me, you might as well retake the finasteride cuz there is no cure for the finasteride effects.....

can you use your johnson at all?

I'm not impotent and things went back to normal when I went back on the drug but idk if I should do it again.

 

[dboy]

I can use my johnson if I use Cialis daily...but I can't even get it working even after watching p**rn..LOL....without the aid of cialis..

 

[SydneyLosstarot]

Still on minoxidil...and nizoral. On and off with the finasteride, but now I'm officially done. It is way too suppressive.

 

[dboy]

Did it make your johnson go limp? libido down?

 

[SydneyLosstarot]

not limp but not full erections. Libido is up after cessation of finasteride.

 

[SydneyLosstarot]

Hmmm...Ive found a place where I can purchase affordable dutasteride. Should I go for it? And what dosage does everyone recommend?

 

[SydneyLosstarot]

ust read your story bud, it really bothers me to see someone young with that kind of hair loss. I can relate completely! I've been loosing my hair since I was a senior in high school. I'm now 22. How has your hair been doing since your original post?

Yeah, its unfortunate. Gonna go read your story now. My hair is awful right now. It's only getting worse. :\
