disaster strike

[amrod]

okay so its been about a year since i started on my regimen

originally i was doing 1mg propeica daily and 12.5% minoxidil applied once at nigth

this went really well and i started regaining hair up until about 5 months when i started finding it hard to keep up my regimen... the minoxidil was causing me heart problems and the propecia was seriously destroying my sex drive

so for the next half a year id been messing around with my regimen at some times not taking anything

since then my hair has got alot worse maybe nearly as bad as it was originally... so ive decided to get back on full medicaton ill put up with any sideeffects this time. 5% kirkland minoxidil 2ce a day and propecia daily - taking this religiously

my question is... if i had such promising success originally is it likely that i will once again experience this? i hope so

For some it is libido or hair, unfortunately. I have lower sex drive mentally, though my girlfriend persuades me, if you know what I mean.
Perhaps you could consider taking a 0.5 finasteride dose, and use lotions with the minoxidil. As to heart problems, have you asked your doctor?

 

[amrod]

yeah apparently heart palpatations is not a side effect of minoxidil :/

why someone with a girlfriend would want to take propecia, tell me please.

i recently split up with my girlfriend... nothing could stop me taking propecia

the sole objective of sorting ur hair out isnt to get a long term relationship u know

I can't believe he/she said that, its listed as a side effect. It can be caused by over absorption so try to apply it when your head is totally dry. Although I'm sure you've heard it before.

as to the libido problems, exercise exercise exercise. nothing will help your libido more than regular vigorous exercise, oh an maybe stop wanking so much

Ok I have to chime in here. I am having major heart problems, for sure I have been using too much minoxidil (4 mill's per day for the last 6 months) on wet or dry hair. Now my heart pounds all the time , not breathless or anything it just feel s like its pushing out of my skin. My history is I'm 40 and have worked out since I was 16 , no booze or smokes, ( ok occasional beer or two), so I was in good shape till this happened. Just a question for anybody feeling similar symptoms how long did they last after you stopped minoxidil or did I screw myself for good. I am seeing my Doctor in one week. Thanks

Dutasteride is probably going to be the longest relationship I'll have in my youth.

 

[Thinning fast]

Thank you for that aplunk.

powersam is right, right, right. Exercise (especially cardio) and good diet is the BEST thing to really boost the libido. Get that frakkin' Playstation controller and bong out of your hands get up and move your ***.
