    Does exercise help with Propecia weight gain?

    I got some side effects from Propecia (have since quit) that include slight weight gain around the chest, midsection, and a rounded face with more fat under the chin. I think this was probably from increased estrogen. Anybody who has gotten this, did doing cardio or lifting weights help, or is...

    Gyno, Side effects, and quitting Propecia

    By the way, I have been reading about using DIM supplements to possibly fix estrogen imbalances from finasteride and the side effects it causes. Anyone know if this is safe/a good DIM supplement to take?

    Gyno, Side effects, and quitting Propecia

    I steadily gained maybe 5 or 10 pounds throughout the year and a half, although my weight even before Propecia would kind of fluctuate within that ten pound range depending on recent diet and exercise, and I have not been doing the best at either of those things lately, so I can't be sure it's...

    Gyno, Side effects, and quitting Propecia

    Thanks for the reply. I am concerned because there is definitely nipple puffiness that still has not gone away in two months, just wanting to know if anyone else has had chest enlargement from Propecia that took awhile to go away after quitting, but did end up going away. I don't really seem to...

    Gyno, Side effects, and quitting Propecia

    I made a topic earlier about how I quit Propecia about two months ago after a year and a half. I noticed a bloated face, slight sexual sides like watery semen, etc. Now that I've been off two months I've been taking a closer look at my body and pictures of me over the last year...I think I...

    Propecia "fat face" permanent?

    I was on it for about a year and a half, since the summer of 2007. It's not a drastic change, nobody has even mentioned it and my face has always been kind of round even though I'm skinny, but I feel like there's still been a little bit of a change. I tried Rogaine briefly and quit, but for most...

    Propecia "fat face" permanent?

    I was comparing pictures of my face before and after starting Propecia, and the before pictures are definitely thinner. I haven't changed my diet or exercise habits, so I'm starting to suspect the propecia. I did some research and this seems to be an issue with some people. I've decided to quit...

    Which minoxidil product to use for me?

    I'm a diffuse thinner who has tried Propecia, which did nothing and gave me too many sides, and I've tried Rogaine Foam, which gave me a shed that didn't end after several months and water retention in the face, so I quit that a few weeks ago, and now my hair is as bad as it's ever been. The...

    At a complete loss, need some advice from the experts

    Thanks for the reply. In regards to quitting Propecia, I really don't think it has helped at all. I've had diffuse thinning that started in high school and progressed extremely slowly but at a steady rate, and that rate continued pretty much unchanged the entire time I was on Propecia before...

    At a complete loss, need some advice from the experts

    So, long story short, I'm a diffuse thinner, possibly even DUPA, I've been taking Propecia for a year and a half, using Rogaine for about 4 months. During that time I continued to thin at the same rate as before treatment (very slowly), but since adding Rogaine I had a massive shed that didn't...

    Need a good, simple fitness routine (w/primarily dumbbells)

    So, FYI, I have been using Propecia for about a year and a half and Rogaine for a few months, and neither has appeared to really do much to help. All they've done is given me mild sexual side effects and fluid retention in the face, neither of which I think is worth the possibility of holding...

    Can Tricomin cause fluid retention like minoxidil?

    I am using Propecia and Nizoral 1% and just stopped using minoxidil foam because it was making my face puffy from the water retention. I've read Tricomin doesn't have side effects, but I've also read that it works similarly to minoxidil, so can it have this effect? Anyone using Tricomin get puffy face...

    Bloated face with minoxidil usage!!

    Yeah, I got the same thing, I'm about 4 months into it too and I just noticed it in the past few days. I'm just gonna quit using it, I hope it goes away.

    How long will puffy face last after quitting minoxidil?

    Thanks for the quick reply, I figured it would be pretty fast due to the fact that it's water retention.

    How long will puffy face last after quitting minoxidil?

    So I started minoxidil foam a few months ago as I was not making any progress, and probably losing ground after staying on Propecia for a year. I think I may have had a small shed at the beginning, but now I am starting to get the puffy, bloated face that people talk about. Anyway, I've sort of...
