Hi all, Ive recently come across a super interesting video on youtube that discusses progesterone and pregnenalone supplementation to overcome 5ar inhibition side effects. The creator currently uses finasteride daily to preserve prostate health, and highlights how the exact mechanisms of action...

Just an update for anyone wondering. Ive continued derminator treatments once a week at 1.5mm depth and am seeing great success. My hairline is back to baseline and I have a lot of new terminal hairs now noticeably poking through along hairline. I believe the initial loss was potentially from...

Yeh Finasteride dorsnt really agree w me unfortunately. Currently trying to find a way to incoorporate an antiandrogen, any suggestions? Do u think its worth still microneedling? Im only like a month in so interested to see if its too early to see full benefits

Ahh interesting. Will keep updated if i make the switch. Thanks

Great thread. Thanks for input

Hey man love the thread cheers for keeping it updated. Can I ask what type of side effects were you experiencing when you first decided to quit? And also your age, how aggressive your hair loss is and where about your losing hair. Thanks

Hi all, Ive been on minoxidil twice daily foam application for 3 years, and been using 1mg oral minoxidil daily for about 6 months. 1 month ago I started micro needling my hairline with a pretty professional derma pen (derminator) at 1.5mm depth once per week. However, my hairline has never...

Hello everyone, Ive cycled on and off finasteride 3 times. The first I was on 1mg for 6 months before dropping due to ED, low libido and numb erections. The second time I was on 0.5mg for about a month before dropping again due to ED and depressive symptoms. The third and final time I was about...

is this a common side effect or was this a unique response just for you?

I was unfortunately one of the unlucky group that gets side effects from finasteride. Ive ordered RU58841 and am going to try hopefully just maintain on that. Derrick from Moreplatesmoredates swears by it so figured its better than nothing. Have u got any experiences w RU?

Greetings Ive been using topical minoxidil twice daily for coming on 3 years now (currently 22yr/old) for my hairline after my dermatologist prescribed it to me. Initially I had good gains that were somewhat maintained but slowly recession continued. More recently my derm put me onto 1mg daily...

True. Is that even when in combination with finasteride? I understand that when you block aromatisation of testosterone to estrogen, naturally that extra test will convert to extra dht, thereby increasing shedding. I figured tho that if im blocking dht conversion and also keeping estrogen levels...

Hey guys, Ive had a bit of history with finasteride. Firstly i went on 0.5mg and upped to 1mg everyday without side effects for approx 2 months. However i got hit with an episode of ED, lack of libido and just felt down. I quit straight away and got bloods checked. Derm said everything was...

Hi all, ive been using finateride for 2 months. I started at 0.5mg which was well tolerated, before then boosting to 1mg after a month. Within the past week ive been hit with cases of ED that are out of the ordinary for me. Im 21 years old fit and healthy so i assume finasteride is to blame. My...

Has anyone else experienced sides this early that later went away? Or conversely has anyone maybe talked themselves into ED and lack of libido? Is it possible that your ED was psychological because you experienced it and then kept expecting it to happen? I say this because i have had ED troubles...
