Thanks. Still using finasteride although I raised the dose to .625mg and now to .83mg. Hair still sheds a little daily but I guess my hair looks the same as since I started. Actually what caused me to raise the dosages was it felt like my hair shedding got worse like my body was getting immune to finasteride. I...

I used to use Loreal semi-permanent dye and stopped because it causes awful shedding the following weeks. Is there a hairdye you've used that doesn't cause shedding?

I started taking .625mg (1/8 5mg pill) of finasteride almost a couple weeks ago, and started taking it in the morning. The sexual side effects are still here. They come and go.

I feel like .5mg finasteride/day is not effective. I see no difference since I started and I still itch and shed a little. I really want to start minoxidil. I wish I looked good with a buzzed head. I wish my facial hair wasn't so weak. :(

Re: What my story will be ? 23 guy with few photos and questions You and I have almost the same hairloss. I'm 22. Any updates?

I previously said that my hair looked thicker but that was because of the bathroom lighting in the new place I moved into. So to sum it up, my hair looks the same as when I started. Today I shedded a lot but it might be because I ran out of Nizoral a week ago. So Nizoral definitely helps reduce...

My hair looks thicker on top because of the huge reduction of pre-treatment shedding. There is no improvement at the temples. No more side effects except possibly watery jizz. I hung out with one of my old best friends recently. We were drunk and talking about some deep personal sh*t. I...

Weightlifting causes an increase in testosterone, some of which is converted to DHT, and you have male pattern baldness. Same thing happened to me.

Re: nemoy's story (21 y/old diffuse receder) I have a similar story. Severe acne when I was 16 and started losing my hair when I was 20. Nature just doesn't want some people to procreate... At least you're not short like me. Dedicate your whole life to trying to change everything you don't like...

Recently it seems the sides from daily dosing have faded. But it feels like my hair is itching more and possibly shedding a little. Maybe my scalp got sunburned though and is peeling. It's been about 2 months since I started. I really hope this works and I'll post pics.

While that sucks and I'm glad you recovered, finasteride only makes people with high DHT levels more normal. It's not normal to jerk off to p**rn everyday and eyefuck every girl you see. Those dudes you see with N0 hairlines, clear skin, no body hair, etc. don't do that sh*t. As a side note, I noticed...

I'm not defending finasteride. I'm experiencing sides myself. Link can you answer the question?

Re: Kthxbi's Story UPDATED. - (heavy nw2? finasteride/nizoral) How many times have you gone through sheds on finasteride, when, and how bad were they?

Re: Just started treatment Could you post before and after pics? I've been using finasteride for over a month and I might be noticing increased density in the crown. That's good you're not experiencing sides (I'm not so lucky). 1.25mg might not be necessary though. I noticed 95% stoppage of...

Re: 17 years old (pictures) If I were you I would wear hats or buzz my head and lift weights to get as huge as possible. You're too young for treatments. I feel too young at 22. For now you could just use Nizoral shampoo 2x a week and a good shampoo like Nioxin on other days.
