I stopped doing both finasteride and minoxidil. Minoxidil gave me heart racing, bloated face and always got tired/almost fainted even if I only applied it once a week lol. Don't be embarrassed, it's totally normal to want to take a blood test. Don't listen to those people. It's your health and...

Won't you have more problems than just your jaw though? I doubt this will stop there... Also did you have bloodwork done? If I were you I'd stop taking finasteride immediately, go to the doctor the next day and get tested. Hair really can't be that important... This drug sometimes feels like...

That's what I'm doing. How long is immediately? And where did you notice bone loss? Thanks for writing this btw, really gives me hope... at least a bit... Did you have bloodwork done, i.e. did you also have hyperthyroidism or was it something else? Also, how long were you taking finasteride?

OK here's an update, in case other people have the same problem. My T4 (=25) value was too high 2 weeks after starting finasteride. 5 days after quitting the value was 30 (the values themselves don't matter, it's just that they have risen). My derm decided to not call me and give me the results...

Did you do anything in particular for your bones to grow again? I've actually lost 10 pounds a few weeks after stopping finasteride but my jaw is still less visible than when I was like ~45 pounds heavier a year ago. Anyone else lose a lot of weight after quitting finasteride? I didn't go to the...

That image doesn't work. Can you reupload please?

Receded quite a bit, but the line is still visible, got a big forehead with a scar. Maturing hairline I think? If it weren't for the vertex/crown it wouldn't be that bad. Losing hair in the back/sides underneath the U-shape of the horse shoe as well though... Tbh I don't know how the...

- Switched to a minoxidil without propylene glycol(?) if that's the correct name - Hair cut short to 0.5mm 1 week ago

The side effects are probably me imagining things, I apologize. A few updates: 1. I have hay fever so dark circles might also be from that + minoxidil overdose 2. Headache is probably from my wisdoom teeth, getting those pulled soon 3. Started minoxidil again, probably every 2nd day now (only...

Yeah, I think the minoxidil part is my fault though since I overdosed like 10-20 times, e.g. almost emptying a bottle a day. So can't blame the drug for that one. Finasteride I took around 1-1.5mg a day I think. Not sure I'll ever take that stuff again. I'd much rather have a normal looking...

Here are the symptoms I'm having: 1. Jaw pain 2. Fat redistribution from the upper half to the lower half of my face (e.g. there's more fat right above my lips). Basically went from having a model-like face to looking like a zombie. No wonder people are scared of me. 3. Thin skin, sometimes...

Stopped finasteride as well. Face tingling hasn't actually stopped and the wrinkles are spreading, especially near the eyes. I have like 10 times more wrinkles compared to before I started -_- (6 weeks ago). When I smile people are visibly scared lol. Will post an update in a month.

How do you deal with the stuff getting all over your pillow?

How many times do you use minoxidil a day? And how do you make sure you only take like 1ml?

Makes sense, yes, thanks. I currently just use one container. Just getting 1mg pills might be easier though :p. They're covered by health insurance here so I don't have to pay anything (minoxidil isn't though).
