5months On Finasteride Results And Facial Bloating?

[Unlucky93]

Hi guys,

I'm 25 and I've been on 1mg finasteride for about 5 months and whilst I admit my lifestyle is pretty unhealthy e.g. lots of shitty food and a lack of sleep, I've noticed that my face had bloated a lot.

I've lost all definition and because I can't grow much facial hair it looks weird AF. I'm slim and have experienced no other sides apart from rare ball ache, oily skin and some tiredness.

Does anyone know how to counter this moon face side as I'm seriously thinking about stopping or at least reducing my finasteride dose.

My regime:
.1mg finasteride
.Nizoral x1 a week
.Biotin everyday
.Multi vits everyday
.Castor Oil whenever I can
Perhaps I'm ODing on Zinc as I also take Lymcycline for mild acne.

How do you guys think I've progressed since I started my regime?

Bump. Anyone? :/

Rip. None of you have an opinion on if I've actually improved on finasteride or on facial bloating?

I think your crown looks better, but it is hard to tell. Your hairline loss is pretty minor in the first place and I dont see any difference from February.

Ok. Thanks

Can someone else help a brother out with some responses? Just wanna know if people think finasteride has helped or maintained my hair :/

Crown looks better. Haven't heard of facial bloating with finasteride. I've heard people complain of it from minoxidil though

facial bloating is lack of exercise and over eating...has nothing to do with finasteride


cut calories down and workout more

It actually has a lot to do with the raise in estrogen finasteride causes

Thanks for the replies lads and yea, I'd never heard of facial bloating on finasteride but like Joey said, it's the raised estrogen that apparently does it. A lot of old threads say the same. I just can't find a remedy for it :/
