when you start, you mostly maintain what you have. Very slowly, it gets thicker and the holes of thinning patch up a bit. I experienced no side effects except mild depression (as in, " mental fog"). This is largely individual, though I doubt very many people at all experience irreversible effects

I've been off of finasteride for a month, and only remained on sawtooth palmetto supplements and shampoo, with nizoral shampoo every few days. Yet, shedding has completely stopped and not returned. I rarely even see one hair come out. Previously I would shed 15 or so hairs from vertex. Now...

I feel like the nofap thing is almost completely mental. You set out to do a goal that requires willpower and feel good for completing it

it seems like crown loss is considered less severe and there are better treatments for it. It's also not terribly hard to hide if it's less severe In a weird way I'm glad I almost exclusively have crown loss.

Beard has gotten more intense on finasteride 23 years old. dunno man.

because I am too lazy to go to the gym and be a cool buff bald guy, of course
