My Doctor initially said take 2.5 mg on Monday and Thursday. Obviously I can't take that much. I just called hasson and wong and the secretary said in about 6 weeks they should be able to send the topical finasteride to the states. In the hair loss industry, that means 6 years or so. I was thinking about taking like .25 on Monday and Thursday to see if it works. I'm just so scared of messing with this drug and crashing my endocrine system that it stops me from experimenting with it. Has anyone here ever taken an extremely lose dose once or twice a week? Did it help? Sides?

Just wanted to ask: those times you came off finasteride, did you try accepting the shaved/buzzed look or did you keep longer hair?

.

I'd love to shave, but my hair transplant scar and pluggy grafts prevent me from going this route. My advise to anyone who hasn't gone the transplant route is don't. If you can pull off the shaved head, get off the finasteride and do it. Even if you can't pull it off, do it. Lift weights, save money, focus on work, and frequent Backpage while you wait for Tsuji.

Yeah the persistence of the itch is mental plus it's always there remembering you that you're losing your hair in all of the male pattern baldness prone areas, now at the temples, now in the mid-scalp, now at the edges of the crown on the back... I would be happy if Seti killed the itch and that was it, they could even market it as the itch killer and still make a ton of money.

Lately, I have been getting the crawling sensation around the exact outline of the NW7. It is like an evil termite demon crawling in my scalp specifying my exact fate. it's f*cking mental torture. Then I will get the itch randomly in different spots all over the top. I wlll scratch and see hairs on my fingers. then look in the mirror and have to readjust my hair to cover the bald spot I just revealed.

Androgenetic Alopecia is sheer daily torture. Every single aspect of it is sickening. One of the worst parts is that people don't understand and you can never talk to anyone about how horrendous all this sh*t is.

damn dude, I am in the exact same spot. Horribly diffused thin in the entire NW7 now. 33 years I maintained ok density. Enough to at least conceal it. I take finasteride for a year and it completely f*cks my entire life.

Obviously I am glad it works for some people. But, why the f*ck do I wake up with an erection all through the night still? How the f*ck did I lose THAT much hair on it? Why the f*ck, after months and months of being off it, does it feel like evil termites are crawling through and tearing apart my scalp?

Perhaps I am in the .1% or whatever bullsh*t statistic it is. I would love to ask Merck all these questions.

I can't do anything. No matter what, you can see right through the unusual looking hair line right to the 3-4 hair grafts that looks like plugs. IF you look closely enough, you can see the tiny vellous hairs, simply there to remind me of what used to be.

F*CKING SHEER F*CKING MENTAL TORTURE. No matter what anyone says. "I think you focus on these problems because you don't have real problems, like hunger and poverty to focus on". Perhaps. yes. no sh*t you moronic reject. That's useful advice. Go spend 3 hours plastering your face with makeup, dying your perfect hair and f*cking some random dousch you met on OKC. Then, when you're bored, call me and give me your quaint f*cking bullsh*t advice.
