I was not okay with the idea of being on meds my entire life (or atleast a couple of decades). Plus, don't think my hair loss is very aggressive, so I'm not destined for a NW5/6 (fingers crossed)!

Been more than 1.5 years now, since got off finasteride & minoxidil. Been losing hair steadily, now thinking of going for an hair transplant early next year.

Then again I could say all the bald guys who are not getting some, have turned to the gym to pass their time. :dunno: Here is what is my experience - 5-6 different gyms in the past 3-4 years, of the ripped guys (like peapoddy, age between 20-40), more than 80% had perfect hairlines, less than...

Generic finasteride has a HUGE market in all of Asia, specially India & China given their populations & the local generic pharmaceutical industry size. I think more than half the global number of finasteride takers would be taking generic finasteride sourced from most probably India.

Everyone should just take this post, frame it & hang it on your wall. Finasteride is a dangerous drug. A major percentage of people who think they do not have any side effects from finasteride are probably in delusion like I was. No morning wood is a side effect, if you need to reassure yourself that...

I have a lot of body hair (on back & shoulders in addition to the usual places) and I read somewhere that DHT has a relation with body hair. Now, I have been thinking of getting rid of these hairs on my back & shoulders but I am sh*t scared that this may somehow 'free up' DHT or just somehow...

You're 17 for god sake! You should not be on a drug that inhibits an important hormone. You should get off finasteride asap.

I had breast tenderness & sensitivity within 15 days of taking finasteride 1 mg daily. I would work in the gym & at the slightest contact between my shirt & my nipples, I would feel the pain. It was so bad that I actually had to apply tape on them to prevent contact. I cut down the daily dose to 0.5 mg...

I don't quite know what exactly it is. But it consists of an oil & pills made of herbs & stuff. Worked for some people, so I am giving it a shot.

Nope, not saw palmetto. I just got off finasteride this week, took my last dose yesterday and shedding started just a week back. Even before shedding, I felt that minoxidil was not working anymore. Apart from that peach fuzz growth, there is nothing.

Thought I'd update you all..Took my last finasteride dose yesterday..Hopefully, that will be my last ever! Been taking 0.125 mg EOD for the last 1.5-2 months and I can feel the change in my body..Morning wood is back, albeit slowly, erections are harder & 'sustainable'.. I still have my fingers...

I know it might sound like a bad idea but I don't think minoxidil is working anymore. Unless I use 10%, twice a day, then may be. I'm off Finasteride finally! Been losing hair on the temples in the last 3-4 months so my confidence in minoxidil is a little shaky. Apart from the peach growth in the...

Guys, I am moving off Minoxidil 5% which I was on for the last 9-10 months. I have decided to give a herbal treatment a chance which worked for a friend of mine. What I'm afraid of is the infamous minoxidil shedding. As it is, my hair are alright (NW2) but the volume leaves much to be desired of...

From wherever I want. But should I take the 10% or just continue with 5%? :dunno:

Foam is what I use. I am more worried about the points I mentioned. But anyways, how much foam do you use in one application? As in 1/2 cap or 3/4 cap..etc
