Consult with a physician before taking finasteride, please. Keeping all your hair is not worth stunting the growth of your dick, right? (That's a rhetorical question).

Have you thought about seeing a psychologist? Seriously, that would be a healthier option than dutasteride. I'm not an expert on the chemistry, and I'm not into fear-mongering, I would just consider it an absolutely last resort if male pattern baldness is wreaking psychological havoc that you can't otherwise...

I also noticed my hair start to slowly recede again after about 7 or 8 years on finasteride. That was 7 years ago, I still have my hair. Everyone is different of course. Actually I stopped using spironolactone on my hairline because it gave me sexual side effects, but it did stop the recession...

I was diagnosed with male pattern baldness when I was 20. I'm 30 now and have been taking daily finasteride for about 9 years. I've also used 5% minoxidil (solution then foam) twice a day, and Nizoral 2% shampoo about three times a week. Folligen and Tricomin have also been regular parts of my regimen, but I didn't...

So I lapsed in my next order of minoxidil and now I'm doing without for a few weeks. I've definitely noticed a difference — my hair is thinner already. I was getting a bit desperate for my next order to arrive (I get the foam shipped up to Canada) but since I'm still on finasteride 1mg a day I...

I've been taking finasteride daily now for about seven years, and I've maintained a Norwood 2. I seem to be thinning out for the past two or three months now though and I remember reading that finasteride's effectiveness can wane over a long period of time. Is this due to some kind of biological...

If copper competes with zinc in the diet (an overdose of one leads to a deficiency in the other) - does it on the scalp, too? I use Head & Shoulders shampoo and conditioner (on Nizoral off-days), which has (pyrithione) zinc. I also use Tricomin. Could the zinc in the shampoo and conditioner...

I took 1.25 daily for several years (age 21-26) and initially it was fine, but I noticed a bit of gyno (tender nipples, small lumps that would come and go), and loss of erection quality after age 24, but it didn't bother me too much, until I got a bit paranoid and started thinking maybe I was...

I take 1mg of finasteride daily (Finpecia) and use 5% minoxidil (Rogaine Foam) twice a day. I started taking a 50mg Zinc gluconate supplement daily a few months ago. I noticed that my 'morning wood' improved significantly, and I feel like I have more energy; but my hair has gotten thinner and...

You could also try adding Tricomin or Folligen (instead of Prox-N). I use the latter because it's cheaper. And there is also the Laser Comb! Can't vouch for that one personally though (too pricey for me).

I used to think this too. I realize it's because men aren't good evaluators of male attractiveness. We see bald=ugly. That's because hair is essential to feminine beauty, and that's what we are attracted to. Many women don't mind bald men at all, in fact some find it sexy. It really has to do...

I've been taking finasteride for about 5 years now, and I'm happy to be retaining a Norwood 2 after being diagnosed with male pattern baldness 7 years ago. I haven't had any persistent side effects. So while I'm happy with the drug, it does bother me somewhat that my body wants to make a hormone and I'm...

two sites I've ordered from: elitenet pharmacy.com (one word) ships directly from the UK. http://www.reliablerxpharmacy.com ships from India via US. Cheap prices but shipping time is about a month!

I remember reading that about 40% of the men on finasteride in the FDA trials stopped hairloss without regrowth, and about another 40% stopped hairloss with regrowth, though the extent of it wasn't specified and probably varies from one person to the next. If 40% is encouraging to you, then try finasteride...

I don't know about down in the States, but up here in Canada they don't accept blood donations from men using finasteride. You have to be at least 6 months finasteride free. I feel kinda guilty about it, since I have good friends who give regularly and blood is always in need. It seems vain and kinda...
