Used Finasteride For 10 Months With 1 Side Effect

[Jimley]

Just wanted to tell people my experience with finasteride 1mg daily for 10 months.
My hair was improving slowly over the 10 month period but all of a sudden I started having a side effect and decided to stop treatment.
I started having tenderness and swelling behind my nipples right at the 10 month period. No other side effects were noted but I stopped treatment immediately.
It took another 12 months for that side effect to completely resolve.
I will continue with minoxidil, nizoral, saw palmetto, and other supplements.

And what happened to your hair in the 12 months after quitting?

it might be because of the higher estrogen you get by blocking dht, maybe you can try it with estrogn inhibitor

Its pretty much gone back to how it was before I started finasteride, but not worse then before.
Its been about 16 months off of finasteride now.

Never thought of this. Any suggestions on getting an estrogen inhibitor?
