Just thought I'd post an update. Just crossed the one month mark and I can say that I've not experienced any sides since that first week. Although I did switch to 1.25mg EOD which might be the reason. Truthfully, I think it was all just in my head. When I think back to the month before I went on...

I think that is a possibility, which is why I'm giving it another week or so before I ditch and try a lower dosage. It's strange, but I feel like if I kept on with the current plan it would be very easy to forget how my libido was before, like I would start to judge my current libido as...

Well, I just thought I'd update. I started taking finasteride 5 days ago. And unfortunately since then I've noticed, like many others, a pretty significant decrease in libido. I can still get erections if I'm watching p**rn but it takes me to physically "help out", and even at that it's weak and I lose...

Well, I've been weighing up the pros and cons of finasteride and have decided that, overwhelmingly, it's probably in my best interest to get on it. I'm already (and have been since March) a mess with regards to worrying about hair loss. Checking my hairline constantly, taking pictures, the works. With...

I'm terrified of starting finasteride for the reason being that I'm already shedding hair (and have been for the past 2 years) and I feel that this + the "finasteride shed" that is pretty common is going to destroy my hair, which apart from the hairline (which is only noticeable to me) is/has been fine.

Hi guys, I've posted here before, in June, about how I was shedding hair, and had been for a very long time (2 years on and off) but had not experienced any noticeable thinning or receding of my hairline, and how it was driving me crazy not knowing if it was male pattern baldness or not. Well lo and behold, it...

Thanks, I appreciate your input. I'm 22 in a few days. My dad told me that he started to lose his hair whenever he first went to college so I guess I have a good 3/4 years on him so far. Well, I didn't really complain about hair thinning at the sides. Just that you can see my scalp from certain...

Yeah, I understand that. Hoping and praying that I take after the 3/5 males in my close family as opposed to the other 2/5! I'm also reading up a lot about the genetics of hair loss. I mean, what singled out my father as the one to suffer hair loss as opposed to his brother if they both had...

@TravisB I have a mixed bag. My father is about a NW5-6 but his brother still had a full head of hair by the time he died (aged 44). On my mothers side, 2 of her brothers still pretty much have all their hair (they're in their 60's too) and the other has lost it all. @Primo Please stop...

I know what you're thinking, I get it. But the fact is I'm shedding hairs at a noticeable rate and have been for sometime, whereas prior to it beginning, I wasn't. So something is going on and it's driving me crazy not knowing what it could be. I guess hair "loss" isn't the right word to use...

Hi guys, I seriously need some help with my problem before I crack up. I previously posted here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=74944 about my current predicament regarding hair loss. However, for those who don’t feel like reading that I’ll post a summary: Sept 2010: First noticed I was shedding...

Hey everyone. I guess I should start by sharing my story. I'm 21 (coming 22 in a few weeks) and I was first introduced into the horrific world of hair loss in Sept of 2010. I noticed that I was shedding hairs a lot, over my pillow and in the shower. This gave me the first panic when you...

Hello everyone. This past 9 1/2 months I've been shedding more hair than usual. Following a lot of stressing and near obsessive checking of my hair and hairline, I've concluded that my hairline hasn't receded any (at least not to any noticeable degree) and my crown is still thick and there are...
