Hello everyone,
as a long time silent lurker of this forum, I finally gathered the mental strength to share how my life have taken a 180 degree turn in the most gruesome sense after I hoped I could keep my androgenic hairloss at bay with Dutasteride.
I write this in complete desperation as...
Hey guys, I’m new to this forum and looking for some help, in relation to what I believe to be persistent side effects from finasteride.
To make a long story short I took finasteride for a month and developed intense itching, burning and shedding all over my scalp, even the back and sides. My...
I’ve been taking Finasteride for the past 3 months and haven’t experienced any major side effects except for sleep problems. My sleep quality has dropped significantly, I keep waking up after 3–4 hours and feel groggy in the morning.
I’m not planning to stop Finasteride, so please don’t suggest...
Hey all! I have to lose a good chunk of weight (have dropped some pounds already), and I also have a varicocele (which I think is causing me to have watery semen), that is still untreated. I'm concerned that already having these issues will increase my chances of side effects. Should I wait...
Hi,
Like the title says, I fear I may be developing signs of gynecomastia behind one of my nipples. It’s not yet visible to any worrying degree, although there is lumpy breast tissue behind there and it can be tender at times.
I had hair loss surgery 3 years ago and have been taking...
I have been using finasteride for a year and four months, and it is very effective. However, looking back on the medication time for more than a year, there are actually many side effects.
In recent months I have reduced my dosage to 0.5 or 0.125 or even less at a time.
The other day I looked up...
I. Physio-metaboliс method of treating androgenic alopecia.
This method is based on the study of hyperresponders https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/ to therapy with antiandrogen and (or) minoxidil in order to find out why some patients get new hair from therapy with minoxidil and (or)...
Been on finasteride 1mg for two years now, and recently added 2.5mg oral minoxidill to my regimen so I'm just wondering if it seems like my crown is starting to thin or if I should switch to dutasteride. I started my finasteride treatment two years ago as a result of minor temporal recession, and the...
So I (M33) have been on hair loss medications for over a decade. As the title says: almost 12 years ago I started 5% topical minoxidil (once a day) and almost 11 years ago I started 1mg finasteride (once a day). I never had serious sides and hair loss was a worry of the past.
I do remember that...
Hi all!
Just thought I’d show changes after 7.5 years. I don’t think it’s changed at all. For reference, the image with the books behind is today :). Happy to answer any questions!
Hey fellas, I’m living in Israel, and I too suffer from male pattern baldness
rn I’m mixing up my own topical finasteride, but I’m really interested in XYON Health's Liposomal tech, which isn’t available here.
and since they only ship in the US I want to offer someone a deal to make some extra cash. :)
You buy a...
I've been having anxiety lately, and I never experienced it really before. I've been on finasteride for 5+ years now and everything has been good no sides but since Dec I've been experiencing bad Anxiety and not sure what it's from. Only solution for me now is to take a month break from finasteride and see if...
So, in late December of last year I started having this weird sensation in my body that suddenly came out of no where. The feeling was like my body internally vibrating. I had no other physical symptoms other than that, like actual shaking or something it seems to all be on the inside. It was...
Hi all,
I have very high levels of adrenal androgens, with DHT greater than 2500 pg/ml (250-990), DHEA at 34 ng/ml (<13), androstenedione at 24.9 nmol/l (1.8 - 11.8), and 17-OHP at 14.94 nmol/l (1.52 - 6.36).
I'm thinking about taking oral dutasteride, but I'm worried that blocking DHT could...
Hello guys, I took a 0.5 mg tablet a couple years ago and experienced erectile dysfunction from it. I stopped the medication and was back to normal a couple days later. I want to try topical finasteride as I want to address my balding but I want to start at a very low dose and see how I...
Let me start by saying that Propecia has worked for me. I started on 2 x 1mg tablets a week in the summer of 2022, before moving up to 3x a week later that year, as recommended by a hair transplant surgeon I was in consultation with. The medication has worked so well that I no longer feel the need for a hair transplant...

I started fighting in 2018 with minoxidil & then decided to take finasteride in at 19 (worked wonders). Gained but started to thin and minaturise once again causing me to jump on other treatments. (eucapil for 2/3 year; minoxidil with tretinoin for a year; microneedling for 7 months)...
