So I’m a 35 year old man. I’ve been losing my hair since I was probably 22 years old. Around age 25 I tried taking finasteride 1 mg daily. I took it for about 6 months. I had just gotten out of a relationship and I met a new girl, but when we tried to have sex, I couldn’t get an erection. Not...

Hi. I have been experiencing hair loss since I was in my mid-20s. It's reach a point where my hair loss is pretty severe and basically I've either gotta get a hair transplant or shave my head. I've been using minoxidil twice daily but not finasteride due to previously experiencing severe side...

I am currently using just minoxidil twice daily. I used finasteride for about a year and it gave me really terrible ED that persisted for about a year after I stopped the medication but thankfully it eventually went away. I was intrigued by Zix which seems to be a low cost formulation but then...

Do you have any resources regarding the dose-response curve of finasteride? Also anything about elimination and how it affects the HPA axis would be very useful I think... If what you say is true... I doubt it would be easy to isolate 0.03 mg of finasteride, but if there IS a way, and it would...

Hey everyone, It's been a while since I have been on this website, but I wanted to post an update about my experience with Finasteride. The last time I posted was in January 2015. I had decided to stop taking Finasteride after 18 months when I began having difficulty achieving an erection. I...

Thanks for messaging with your story dryic. Your side effects are almost exactly the same as mine. It is strange that yours are lasting so long after only taking the medication for two days. I took it for 18 months. I must say that I feel shafted. When I did research on the adverse effects of...

UPDATE (2 WEEKS POST-QUITTING) The genital pains have subsided. Past day 7 I did not have any more "pinching" pain or heavy feeling in my balls. My libido has improved, I'd say I'm around 50%. However, I am still having erectile problems. It takes more time and mental effort than usual to...

Thanks for the replies. @Talmoode. The half-life of Finasteride is around 4.5 hours. So if I were taking 1.0 mg, the concentration in my blood would be 0.5 mg after 4.5 hours, 0.25 after 9 hours, 0.125 after 13.5 hours and so forth. At that rate, there shouldn't be much in my system past 48...

Hello good people of the hairlosstalk.com forums, I recently stopped taking finasteride due to side effects and began having a few new side effects post-quitting. After a little searching I found that there isn't much information out there on how one should quit propecia, or what type of side...

Glad to hear headless. I will try and update this post at some point in the future. I do not currently have the means to take a photograph.

Hey everyone, I am 25 years old and I have been losing my hair for about five years now. I don't really fit any of the categories on the norwood hamilton chart. Basically my hairline receded at first (a little more near the temples). Then I began losing hair on my crown in a large circle. At...

Thought I should let everyone know - I got some insider information that Minoxidil 5% foam is now approved without prescription in Canada. It should hit the shelves in the coming weeks/months.

So I ordered a 4 month supply of 5% foam from ebay.ca. It shipped from somewhere in the states and I was able to get it within about a week. The cost was about $18 CAD per bottle (if you include the cost of shipping). Looks like ebay is the way to go!

Hi everyone, I am 25 and have somewhat of a weird balding process going on. People have told me I'm a NW2 in the front and a NW5 on the crown. I have been on Minoxidil for 3 months now. Haven't noticed any MAJOR shedding but lately I am seeing less hair on my keyboard (1 or 2 hairs compared to...
