    Been taking finasteride for 10 months, starting to notice erectile problems

    If I am mainly concerned with maintaining my hairline, I assume I only put Minoxidil on my hairline and not all over my head, yes? Or would that not be effective.

    Been taking finasteride for 10 months, starting to notice erectile problems

    It has been about 2 weeks since stopping finasteride, morning erections coming back slowly and also during the day, however this is also likely that I am just taking notice of them more. Sometime down the track I might start on the finasteride again every 2 days. Shall see. Any insight on using Minoxidil to...

    Been taking finasteride for 10 months, starting to notice erectile problems

    Well, I don't think anyone would argue that I am receding at the temples, I have developed the "M" shape already, my crown looks pretty good for now I guess but remember I've been on Finasteride for the last 10 months, so wouldn't be surprised if that starts to thin out a bit, also my...

    Been taking finasteride for 10 months, starting to notice erectile problems

    I was only taking Finasteride 1.25mg per day, 6 times a week and Nizoral twice a week. Am still using the nizoral twice weekly but not taking any finasteride at all.

    Been taking finasteride for 10 months, starting to notice erectile problems

    After noticing my hairline receding I finally talked to my doctor about taking Finasteride and he had no problem prescribing it for me. I am taking 7.5mg per week and have been doing so since February this year (it's now been around 10 months). I must say, I have noticed a difference in my...

    Your advice please! 25 and losing hair starting treatment

    I have read Finasteride can result in loss of libido - anyone experience this? I also live in China and I'm not sure if Nizarol, Rogaine and Propecia are readily available here. Can anyone advise on this? If not are there any reliable online stores that ship worldwide? Thanks again!

    Your advice please! 25 and losing hair starting treatment

    So you would advise using Propecia, Nizoral and maybe Minoxidil? I have been looking at some old photos of me to see how fast my hairline is receding, it's pretty hard to see cos my hair is mostly kinda long and shabby so a little hard to tell, but I looked at some photos from around 4 years...
