I gave finasteride another chance… I put mindset that everything will be fine, and since my type of hair are thin but there is plenty of them, results will be good and side effects won’t happen to me.
As everything went well, libido fine, erections strong, but I could not to not notice that my sperm has lower quality, and ejaculation is almost gone. It did not bother me that much, I almost forget that I am on finasteride, it became my routine and I was living as every day, exercise, work, have fun… I was happy men, because results from 0.25 since 4 of October, were insane in positive way. With progress like that I would end up in year time with Brad Pitt’s hair. At that point already I said to myself I do not need hair transplant.
But around week ago, something happened. I was not able to get any erections at all. My penis simply did not work, and I did not even feel anything… And another thing is that, even feel like it changed it’s look. It simply looks like wrinkled skinned part of body, that all the sudden lost fat.
I was denying that. I respiting myself that it was only in my head, everything will be fine, but no… This side effect is real, and I can’t cope with it. Finasteride gave my also brain fog and inability to focus, but I was also try to deny it…
I am going through hell right now. Not only I have to face fear of permanent sides, but also it is a matter of time before my hair come back to previous state with I hated enough to risk with this drug.
Well I tried, and I failed
Today I went to pharma, to buy Rogaine 5%, I was thinking that maybe I will use this instead, since history of hair loss in my family is mostly thinning hair with NW2 hair line, maybe I will try that.
But lady who was selling products, ask me to wait a second and came back with dr, who said I need to take finasteride, and he do not recommend Rogaine. I told him about my story (and trust me I was so embarrass that I am not surprise that there “only” 2% of men reported side effects, since this is so, so so, embarrass and hard to admit). I came back home with empty hands… ruined and suicide…
Setipiprant is dead and we do not even know it it worked in first place, there is nothing new out ther, that is even plan to release. I remember putting my huge hopes for Replicel but they do not provide anything new since they come out for market.
I can't also have hair transplant, because my hair are mostly miniaturized, not lost.
