Hey all! Another update and question...I am now at 1 year two months on finasteride and up until about month 10 had no sides of serious concern...However around that time I noticed the dreaded "weak" erection...To a point were even getting a condom on was um "challenging"...I also can be a bit OCD so I...

Hey all ! A quick update on my progression so far, as I know so many of these threads are left with no follow ups. I am now at 10 days shy of 8 months on finasteride. I am happy to report that although not back to baseline in a few areas, things are slowly improving....It is a roller coaster ride for...

I will figure out how to get the photos uploaded here so others can view as well. Good luck and hopefully everything works good for you.

You still have really nice hair. I'm still in the "trial" phase myself on Finn. I WILL keep posting pictures as this goes on. So far I'm 50/50 but no sides, and certainly no weight gain if that is your concern.

I used an x-acto knife. Its not "perfect" but close. That's the dose I have been on now for the past month or so.

If I had it all to do over again here is what I would do. First off, I'm 47 and did not start "thinning" until I was about 44 ( very lucky)?? Its never easy, no matter the age. I started on finasteride 1.25 MG ( 5 mg cut into 4). If I were you I would cut them into 8ths, so .60mg. and give that a try...

Thank you so much for your replies ! What do you mean though when you say " susceptible to patterned hair loss it can accelerate it"? I honestly do not know if I was suffering from male pattern baldness to begin with. The finasteride seems to have accelerated thinning my hair, albeit though, in places seen in male pattern baldness. It...

Again, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the response. One big concern is again the difference in thinning and shedding. I don't seem to find hairs in the tub or brush or anywhere else.... And yet I cant imagine they are just "shrinking" right before my eyes, so they have to be going...

I understand the first pic is not the best, I will find a better one. But my point is my hair was pretty thick with a nice part line. Now there is a huge gap in the part and the hairline is gone. I'm asking for a leap of faith I guess to believe from that first pic that indeed I had pretty...

The first picture is before I started finasteride, (I will look for a better one), I had no need at that time to take photos per say.... The second two are after finasteride and the current situation!

Thank you SO much for your reply! In retrospect I had one area on the hairline ( left temple) I thought was receding a bit more and wanted to stop everything in its tracks as its suggested to start treatment at the first signs of loss. I have since lost most of my hairline ( in 5 months) and the...

Any thoughts? I really want to pull the plug on this experiment. My hair in under six months went from thick and healthy to razor thin. This can not just be a coincidence ? I went into this with some hairline recession and slight thinning to just a disaster !! Its been almost 6 months now and it...

I know this treatment has been discussed over and over, But I cannot seem to find the answer I'm looking for. Does anybody know "roughly" how quickly additional DHt receptors and enhanced sensitivity to DHt become apparent or active in your body after starting Propecia ? I'm not sure if its...
