I started taking finasteride roughly 1 year ago now. After the first month of use, I started experiencing severe "brain fog". Upon first experiencing it, I immediately stopped taking the drug. The brain fog completely cleared after 2 days or so of being off the drug. I waited another week, and...

doing finasteride & nizoral (1%) right now myself. if after 6 months i dont see any growth, i'm gonna add minoxidil. less drugs at once means you can monitor which ones are working vs. which ones are unnecessary. also helps identify where you're side effects are stemming from.

me, i'm pre-disposed to "wrinkles" in my forehead... i put the word 'wrinkles' in quotes, because there's a difference between having wrinkles due to aging (loose skin, etc.) and "wrinkles" due to creasing. personally, i've always been an animated person, with my eyebrows constantly raised...

been reading up on (and starting to test out) Hagerty's Scalp Exercises and it would seem that doing them would result in MORE wrinkles and looser skin on your forehead, a opposed to what his experiments found to be true. The reason being is that you are constantly lifting your eyebrows, and...

just so that i'm on the same page -- taking zinc daily helps to decrease the DHT levels in your system, correct? it also sounds like taking zinc will alleviate you from some sexual sides from taking finasteride....does it help with any other sides? for example, i began experiencing clouded/fog brain...

i differ on the "gross" comment, but my question still somewhat stands -- you said that if the woman is pregnant and if the fetus gets any finasteride into their system then it could cause potential defects. anything that a woman consumes during pregnancy is shared with her unborn child..let's say for...

i appreciate your input. i'm really wanting to get a handle on this male pattern baldness w/out the transplant, but i'm becoming less and less confident that this may be possible for me...

This may be a terrible question, but are there traces of finasteride in your semen? I ask because I'm aware of the health/pregnancy risks involved w/ women coming in contact w/ the drug and didn't know if a lady friend of mine were to ingest the semen if there would be any potential negative impact...

I posted my experiences in a different thread, but was looking to get something different out of that post, so I'm reposting this here to ask for some guidance in regards to the sides I've experienced and/or whether I should continue to use finasteride-- Just recently (November 10, 2010), I began using...

I have been contemplating a hair transplant for about a year now. I've had two consultations -- 1 over the phone and 1 in person with Bosley (yes, I know that they aren't the most respected here). Just recently (November 10, 2010), I began using Finasteride/Propecia. I was extremely reluctant...

appreciate the link. this is some pretty scary stuff..

Any tips/suggestions? I'm planning on starting by breaking up the 5mg tabs into eighths (.625 mg, for the non-mathematicians) to see how well my body handles this dosage. What type of side affects should i have an eye out for in the first week(s) of treatment? I was very hesitant to even want...
