So i've been thinning/balding in diffuse pattern on just the top for about 2-3 year, and I've been on minoxidil once a day for almost a year now. I didnt see any drastic regrowth but it helped maintain and about 2 months ago I thought I was finally getting results. I am using kirkland 5%. So about...

To give a intro to my story, I've been fighting diffuse thinning on top since 16, now 19. My sides and back and thick as ever. I tried finasteride back in last year Feb for 2 months but noticed decreased/ softer erections and loss of morning wood. I still do not get morning wood till this day but...

If you went to your Doctor and got a prescription for Proscar you could go to Costco/Walmart/Shoppers and file it for quite cheap. I got 30 pills for 18$ and when cut into 4'ths that's 4 months supply. I'd look to do that rather then online, cause it'll garuntee the quality of the finasteride.

I started Creatine about a month ago, and went on with the regular 5mg dose for about 3-4 weeks. Over this time, I noticed that my hair thinned out alot faster than the pace that it had been going at which was hardly anything. I am a diffuse thinner, but I do believe Creatine might have had a...

I've already started finasteride, but I'm tapering onto it with the first week of taking it twice, next 3 times and continue every other day there after. Minoxidil is also reffered to as a scalp lotion :) Oh okay thanks for the tip of application, I think i'll wait about 2 months on finasteride to see if I...

So I've been a diffused thinner for a couple years now, i still have a good looking head of hair but i've thinned out alot overal especially near my hairline and crown. So my question before starting Kirkland minoxidil is how is it suggested for diffusers to apply the lotion? And when applying all...

Thanks for the responses guys, keep it coming with the contribution.

Hello folks, I just wanted to make this thread to get a bit of an observation of when people on finasteride first saw their dread sheds coming in. So please post before if you've used either, as well as your dosage and every day or every other day? I'd also like to know the same about minoxidil. The dosage...

what exactly were your sides? and how far in did you notice?

Ok so i popped my first pill just minutes ago and cut proscar into what turned out to be slightly uneven 7ths, I wanted to experiment, but I think i'll stick with fourths from now on. Also the peices I cut are secured in my pill cutters box, can the exposure to air reduce their effect since I...

I'll be started both finasteride and minoxidil soon but I think i'll take finasteride EOD regardless. Also are there any tips on ways to minimize shed from both treatments? I have heard of tapering methods onto minoxidil such as 1 week of once a week then every 3rd day, and work upto everyday. Could the same be done...

I think it seriously might be, cause ever since I started reading nearly every little thread on this forum. It might have started getting to my head. But then again, I used to have a very strong morning wood before. Its less and sometimes non existent now. I can still get it up from any sort of...

Bump, and kind of a question. Has anyone tried and had any sucess with topical finasteride? I've heard of people crushing 2 5mg proscar pills and putting it into their minoxidil. But is this a good way to reduce the DHT locally? It'd be great to here anything about such a method.

Ok, I've been taking Saw Palmetto for about 3 months, I shoulda noticed earlier but I dont have as strong libido as I did before. Especially these past 2 weeks, its harder to achieve a erection. This hasn't been true during intercoarse really though. I'm guessing its the SP's sides? No pain or...

So can anyone thats used finasteride 1.25 every other day possibly give some input on their results? Especially if your a general diffuse thinner all over? Just wanting to be 100% sure of what my regime, is the EOD method nearly just as effective? Atleast for starters, to see how you cope with possible...
