    No Noticeable Hairloss Anymore - Should I Stop finasteride?

    I am on minoxidil and it's working, slowly. Three months ago I stopped taking finasteride. I am not seeing any real hairloss like before... I don't find any hair on my pillow or in the shower. Does it still make sense to take finasteride or should I stop taking it until I start seeing my hair falling out...

    Please Review My Regrowth Progress [pics]

    c'mon guys, really....? I think everyone can see more density between August 2nd and 24th on the first pic. Now, whether these are "real" thick hair, I am not sure, but there sure is more density! Roberto, I stopped finasteride because I wanted to see if there is going to be any hairloss when I am not...

    That is what I read also, but I have also read about some great results. The breakout part sucks though. What about other supplements that won't break my budget?

    Do I Need finasteride When My Hair Stopped Falling Out?

    So I have stopped taking finasteride and just continuing with minoxidil atm. I am observing my a slow regrowth. I did not have noticeable sides but wanted to see what is the difference when I go back to "base level." I don't see any hairloss now - that is, I do not see any hair on my pillow, on hands while...

    Biotin For Hairloss? What About Other Supplements?

    Hi there, What supplements do you guys take? I know there is a lot out there and the prices are all over the spectrum. I just saw 250 biotin 5000mcg caps at costco for like $15. This sounds reasonable. I am thinking about giving it a go. If there is anything else that is cheap and worth it...

    finasteride makes my T levels that high?

    Thanks for yall's input! I am happy to find out that my T levels are good, even when on finasteride. The whole reason for which I was getting the test is to find out if my hormone levels ok or off and if that has been causing my body to be skinny-fat. I am thinking if the T is fine maybe I should look...

    finasteride makes my T levels that high?

    I have never tested my T levels before I started taking finasteride, after taking it for 3 months the levels are 717 and 16.2. How long does it take after I stop finasteride for the T levels to go back to my "baseline?"

    Thanks for the responses guys. @buckthorn, sorry to hear about your sides, yeah I am doing fine, I consider myself lucky because I have no sides while on finasteride. That does not mean that I am not concerned about taking, I am thinking about switching to 0.5 mg but it is hard to judge what is the...

    restarting minoxidil causes shedding?

    Just wanted to report back from the front, the shedding has stopped and minoxidil started to work. Remarkably, within two months of restarting the hair is definitely denser. I have been using minoxidil twice a day and applying it quite heavily, about 3ml each time. I will post pictures next. Just wanted...

    restarting minoxidil causes shedding?

    oh man, that is reassuring! Thanks for the reply. Just to be clear - you go with the regimen, you stop, then you re-start and you experience the shed... I continue daily now and keeping my fingers crossed that it will stop. The weird part is that I haven't seen the shed like that after I stopped...

    restarting minoxidil causes shedding?

    After a year of minoxidil and finasteride I stopped minoxidil about five months ago and finasteride about two months ago. A week ago I restarted both. I have noticed shedding like I haven't seen before. Is this normal? I know shedding supposed to happen but in the year of the regimen I haven't...
