Hi all, I am basically giving up on Finasteride as after 13 months, it hasn't even slowed my rapid progression and I am now experiencing a lack of interest in sex. Are there any tips on how I should give up? I am thinking of tapering off - taking a tablet every other day for 2 weeks then every...

I am worried to increase my dose. I already have 1.25mg. Should I give up finasteride? It has clearly had no effect and simply slightly reduced my libido.

So, it has pretty much been 1 year of Finasteride and Nizoral. After starting my original regime, I dropped minoxidil because I was worried I wouldn't be sure what is doing what for my hair. Here are the update pictures - my hairline has receded and my hair has thinned considerably. I have...

Hey, So I live in Shanghai. I know it's not the only city with 5G networks already in place, but here they will soon be everywhere. We have the network downtown, on the trains from HongQiao station, and in many public places. Huawei and the government are really pushing it here in the economic...

Yes it's really great here in China. Everyone seems to be interested in foreigners, but in a positive way. Kind of exoticism ;) I'm glad you had a fun time here

The first of the 2 pictures is just after it was cut. The second two were yesterday. I just really think the front has crept further back.

This is my update! After 10 months, I feel my hair has continued to thin at the front. The crown went a little thinner, but recently has thickened to baseline. I am not sure if in the next 2 months, as I speed towards the 1 year mark, I will see a big increase. I dropped the minoxidil, but...

I am 22 and a quarter years old. I have been on Finasteride for 11 months, but it has not helped my receding hairline at all. It has started receding faster. In 3 years at age 25, I will pursue a hair transplant. I live in Shanghai. Can anyone recommend me a clinic? I don't want some cheap...

Why did his clinic turn you away?

Yeah what's the latest? This is one of the few threads I follow.

I'm just over 3 months into finasteride. My Dad is 54, like yours, with a full head of hair. Like Norwood 0.5. I too was worried about side effects and I am only 21, almost 22. I think the sides are overblown. For the first month, my semen was watery and I was told it tasted bitter. My balls...

Thanks! I have a humidifier too, a decent big 9L one. I hope that will help me, atleast when I sleep.

Thanks guys!! I went to the derm today and he has given me my isotretinoin. I will be only having 30mg/day as I explained my concerns and what you guys said. Will let you know my results! Any tips for the dry lips?

Get it cut short and neat

My thinking regarding shedding is i'm going that way anyway. If it doesn't slow down the the end result is still the same - a bald head. Let us know if there is any improvement, or if you throw in the towel
