Am I Past Point of No Return?

[bigjohnson]

When i first got into finasteride i began a cycle of generics ordered offline. I experienced breast tenderness, low libido, prostate symptoms etc. however i finished the cycle regardless. When it came time to refill i made sure to have my GP write me a script for propecia brand finasteride. Within a matter of days symptoms were gone( i should note that cycle one was 6 monthes of obvious sides) after taking propecia for a while my gp switched me to proscar as it was a better value. Over the years i would use many differant generics and all of them gave me some form of prostate related side effects. Its obvious to me and i think any reasonable human being that generics are not the same as the original formula. You get what u pay for and this is serious business so my advice is dont use any generic finasteride, and i would stay away from any generic drugs...as this is your health...

Hey, I corrected my regimen as follows:

Propecia .25mg
Rogaine Foam 2x daily
Regenepure 3-4x per wk


At .25 mg the sides are enough for me to handle...not sure how I am going to make out but check my thread under WRATHOFKALA HAIR TRACKER when you get the chance. My libido was dead at 1mg to be honest......

Try dutasteride is my advice

Solid advice....... guy cant handle finasteride, so he might as well jump into dutasteride...

Of course there is a chance you can thicken but just be realistic most of the time keeping your hair is the best you can hope for with a little regrowth. Current treatments leave a lot to be desired, but doing something is better then doing nothing.

Have you ever used a concealer like Toppik? It would thicken your hair up noticeably and give you more confidence when going out.

I think the more realistic expectation is using finasteride and minoxidil to keep your hair you have while using a concealer to give you additional thickness.
