Hello again! I happen to see one of those "hairloss treatment horror" blogs today and it made me think of you guys. I have been taking finasteride for nearly 15 years now consistently(minnox also albeit less consistently) and my hair today is something to behold! In this time my brother who is 10 years...

Hi, it sounds like u are an obvious responder to finasteride and like another poster said ur results are perhaps a "testament to how effective the drug can be" that being said who exactly is making your finasteride pills? As i had advised another poster who was considering dropping finasteride from his regimen: if u...

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...

If this is any help: make sure u are using "Merck Proscar" brand finasteride. As this is the original formula and i find that it has far less side effects than many of the indian and chinese made generics. Hell even the last batch of Teva finasteride i had made my prostate spasm a bit. Dont **** with...

i believe it of course varies from person to person but in my experience i was using finasteride for about 8 years and minnox for about 4 and then i quit minnox for about 5 monthes and i didn't really notice any shed or difference in density which would lead me to believe that the majority of my hair...

i'll add something here. while i am not claiming to be able to prove anything about a link to wanking and hairloss i am not going to rule it out. i will be honest guys, i am a recovering sex addict and wanking addict. i'm now almost 30 with a nw2 however my hairline follows exactly that of my...

burning when you urinate? that sounds really serious, has anyone heard of finasteride causing burning when you urinate? i would go see a doctor regardless of how sure you are about finasteride causing said side effects. its these kinds of horror stories that discourage people from using finasteride.

there is no point mate. if you already have an unnaceptable amount of hairloss where it effects your self esteem or your life to the point where you seek support of an internet forum then you shouldn't give up on finasteride. there's no magic topicals face it guys or else rogaine would have manufactured...

this is why i said i understand your concerns because i dont really buy the "mature hairline" thing i just think most men even if not sheddding and balding spots, do experience a degree of hairloss so while u may never be a nw7..... and hell u may be a Norwood 2 still at 30 or whatever.... but i...

not to scaremonger and not that the OP's hair isn't great but i definately see his concerns ... his hair is pretty much exactly where mine is at 26 thick and wavy but slghtly receded. if i were the OP i would really want to keep my hair as such so my best advice to u OP as a guy with exactly the...

i don't doubt this Doug, but do u recall if the user was an old man taking finasteride fivemg for prostate problems? or was it indeed a vain douchebag taking it to save his hair? (not intended to offend just a joke guys lols as i'm a finasteride user and a douchebag myself) and to address the person who said...

and for the record to those to scared to google rogaine.... and gasp... i really should not post this but theres been SEVERAL claims and even lawsuits saying that rogaine caused SERIOUS illness and death from cardiac arrest and lymphoma namely(even if these are bullshit).... so wheres the finasteride...

sorry i did not mean to start a flame from all the butthurt baldies, but if u are on here u are desperate for a solution and even if brain fog existed and u got this "permanant boner fail" as u call it still, who cares?! having hair is not just about getting laid and "thinking clearly" lol...

lets perform an exercise guys.... all of u grab your rogaine bottles, read exactly what this chemical u slather all over your heads each day and night and which subsequently gets absorbed into the skin bloodstream and liver. Disclaimer: I am an avid minnox advocate as i use the big 3 religiously...

change doctors.... im my experience they are mostly quacks and will give u any drug u ask them for given u have done a little research on them.... he may require blood tests and what not but thats just for your own safety
