    Stopping Finasteride - help - info sought

    I don't have much time right now to explain but search for RU58841 in here and on google and start reading, it's a VERY potent antiandrogen, what finasteride does, but applied topically. You have to mix the solution everyday to because once it's mixed the potency of it is only good for like a...

    Stopping Finasteride - help - info sought

    Hmm that's a tough one then. If it were me I would consider topical spironolactone first and see what happens. Also some folks add finasteride to the minoxidil and apply it topically, maybe this is worth a shot as well as taking it the way you are now. If all else fails I would try RU, it is far better than finasteride...

    Big 3 fail - Need help- next step?

    If 2% nizoral is too drying either start applying emu oil to your scalp everyday or try the 1% nizoral. I would try emu oil first. Also start taking msm supplement it makes your hair grow faster, about 2000mg a day preferrably in powder form. spironolactone would be once a day right after you apply...

    Big 3 fail - Need help- next step?

    2 things I would suggest is: always use minoxidil 2x per day unless it's a high strength like 15%, use the 5% foam not the 2%. I prefer to take 1mg every day vs the way you were doing it. also you need to give yourself much more time on the meds. Don't switch it up in 3 months. give it a year or...

    Stopping Finasteride - help - info sought

    I would try 0.5mg every day as a last resort or even 0.25. Some have stated a tiny amount everyday is preferred over evey other day. Try the .5 first and see how you feel. These doses are about 90% as effective as the 1mg. I wish I would have tried it this way first before going cold turkey for...

    Anyone use compounded minoxidil from Murray ave apothocary?

    If you don't recognize any sides then you're good to go. Everyone is unique and reacts differently to all these meds. I was fine on 5% but other's report terrible sides. Truth is these meds are all trial and error for every single one of us, you have to pretty much try it to find out how you...

    Anyone use compounded minoxidil from Murray ave apothocary?

    It has only AA. That being said I think you should still try the 15 but just be vigilant on signs of sides. I would definitely use it as described, once a day. Not only did I do it twice a day but I washed my hair right before each application. Too much went systemic in my case even dropping my...

    Anyone use compounded minoxidil from Murray ave apothocary?

    Their stuff is legitimate. I've used the 15% minoxidil only in my regime and works better than the 5% foam, HOWEVER I'm having sides from it. The tube says to use pea size once a day and of course I was doing it TWICE a day. Anyhow, puffy face AND beginnings of sunken eye.... it's true. Plan now...

    A minoxidil warning - Evidence minoxidil causes eye circles, wrinkles and bad skin

    I don't have time to read this whole thread but those suffering from collagen breakdown around the eyes from minoxidil use should look into using copper peptides and possibly derma rolling, both proven to regenerate collagen. Quote from site, "Copper peptides produce a better skin renewal in...

    Quitting Propecia After 9 Years

    2 year update after quiting finasteride use of over 13 years. there was definitely a change in my semen. If I don't ejaculate for a few days and then finally do; it'll come out more fluidly(thick fluid, lots of it!) then under the same circumstances while on finasteride. My libido is much...

    Quitting Propecia After 9 Years

    that's hard to answer, I have to say nothing that is "significantly" noticeable so far. I might just need more time

    Quitting Propecia After 9 Years

    I quit finasteride after 13 years. I stopped taking it in January 2012 after starting it in 98 when I was 25. I had already lost most of my crown area by the time I started it and managed to regrow a decent amount of peach fuzz and maintained the fuzz with finasteride and minoxidil. The hope was...

    When/where are you insulted for being bald?

    dudemon, in general I've learned over the years that most(not all) girls that go to clubs/bars are shallow to begin with. If I may make a suggestion it would be to stop going to these places. Change what you've been doing. You have a lot of options available to you. You mentioned you were above...
