    Propecia's devastating effect on neurohormones

    I've tried a low carb, high protein diet before, basically what I'm kind of on now. And diets where my calories are even like 1000 a day, but I don't get enough energy with that low of calories. But I'll look more in depth about the diet. Appreciate the suggestion man. And I think it's...

    Propecia's devastating effect on neurohormones

    Like a white-ish color yes, well it's the same since before the meds, so I guess that's a good sign. And yes my DHT was measured last April at 21, when the normal range is 25-100. And my testosterone was 521 when the normal range is 300-1100. I also have more dry skin/lips/hair since stopping...

    Propecia's devastating effect on neurohormones

    I'm hoping it's as simple as that man. Before I was on the stuff I was fine, and 2 weeks after I got off I gained 15 lbs of fat!!! and have not been able to lose it no matter how much I diet and change up my workout routine. It's like it's permanent or something which really scares the s*** out...

    Yes I think it's very aggressive because I have low DHT already, but my hairs continue to miniaturize and fade away =/ As of now I've been on RU for 3 months, and I have a very dry/flaky scalp because of the Ethanol in my solution. I'm going to start RUM when it's available, that's basically...

    So what has actually worked for you?

    in terms of regrowth or stopping hair loss? I've used minoxidil, finasteride, RU, and NOTHING has worked or slowed it down. It just seems as if I'm cursed to be bald, which sucks because I do not have the head to pull off the bald look. I'm mainly asking because I'm thinking about trying out this RUM...
