Re: 23 y.o. and getting results but side effects as well If those bumps you have above your eyebrows don't go down after a day or two, try to put some gentle BHA gel on (here's a good brand on sale: http://www.paulaschoice.com/product/one ... ng/on-sale) This will also get rid of bumps after...

Alas, in the ordinary sense of 'alternatives', there are no alternatives to finasteride. Simple: nothing has been shown, or even remotely close to shown, to work nearly as well. Anyway, thanks for directing me to these studies. My feeling is that the nocebo study is particularly salient. Best...

Rogaine/spironolactone/Keto might (might) work, at least in the short term. Finasteride will work for many, many years, for most people. Side effects are reported in only a small percentage of people (a very small percentage more than placebo), and in all the RCT literature, reverse shortly after...

It really makes me sad seeing all these guys getting scared away from the one treatment that offers them any real long term hope. :shakehead:

Re: 23 y.o. and getting results but side effects as well The situation with hair removal treatments is exactly the opposite of hair growth treatments: there are many highly effective hair removal treatments (some permanent, some temporary). Just search online for info. No reason at all to stop...

I'd ask a chemist before dissolving finasteride in vodka! :woot:

You are right that "there's no certainty that I would NEVER have developed side effects" -- I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. What I said is that the chance of you developing sides is minuscule, given that you tolerated the medication well for four months. Re herbal remedies -- go for...

Berserker, You've been on finasteride and dutasteride in the past with, as you say, "no major sides". What makes you think that you will suddenly develop incredibly rare permanent sides? You have every reason to believe that you can tolerate these medications, and that you will not suddenly develop permanent...

Re: My experience after 4-month Propecia/Minoxidil regimen. It's unfortunate that you got freaked out about the potential sides. They really are very rare -- and the permanent sides from Propecia have (to my knowledge) never been documented in any of the RCTs -- many of which involved hundreds...

Re: Irishpride86's Story - (24 /SUCCESS ROGAINE AND RU58841) For your skin, I really recommend Retin-A. It's generic, and therefore very affordable. It will take a couple of months, but it will really clear up your skin, even out the texture, shrink pores, and help to reduce scaring...
