Well, it took me about a week to feel 100% normal again after completely stopping finasteride. Gyno pains went away and regained 100% of the mental acuity I had prior to being on finasteride... But with all of these also came extreme scalp DHT itches in the areas that I'm balding in. Which is...

I can't stand Smosh, or any other web-based sketch comedy shows. BUT I found these two videos while randomly searching YouTube for hairloss videos...don't ask why. I think I'm just obsessed with hairloss. I'm a 25 year old male who's Norwood 3 going on Norwood 4 with really aggressive recession. Over the...

Hey, thanks for the reply and for following my past stories. I got dealt a ****ty hand and was in and out of the hospital with PFS the first time I tried finasteride 3 years ago. I've tried numerous times since and each time I still got a plethora of side effects, but was sort of able to push...

The scalp inflammation went away by I'd say 80-90%. I still get oily skin but it seems normal, not excess oil production. Acne has been gone for about a week or two... I'd say it's normal now. Maybe even better than baseline as far as acne goes. Only thing is that my balding areas still itch...

I'm still left with watery ejaculate, decreased ejaculate, brain fog, mood swings, and gyno (fat buildup in the abdomen and breasts) but the oily skin and acne has gone away... All of the other side effects seem somewhat manageable and I'm almost tempted to try and "ride them out" but being 25...

Updated photos. I've now been on finasteride 1mg for about 2 months... I feel like I'm still losing hair and have made no progress. In fact my recession seems worse.

Hey everyone, Just figured I'd update...I've been on finasteride 1mg generic from a legitimate pharmacy since late December. I got side effects but pushed through them. I'm not able to take the full 1mg daily. I feel like I'm still losing hair rapidly however. What do you guys think? I suppose...

Currently trying finasteride...I've been on 1mg for around a month and a half now. Prior to this, I've always had SUPER oily skin. Like I need to wash my face multiple times a day so it doesn't look like I'm sweating, oily skin. I carry oil blotting sheets with me where ever I go. I can say...

I think I've figured out the issue. My finasteride is in the bottle the pharmacy gave me with the cap on it. However I keep this bottle in my bathroom on a shelf. I'm thinking moisture/humidity from my shower has ruined pills. Yesterday my head itched so freaking bad and my left temple has...

Honestly I thought you looked better with hair.

Hey Dench, Thanks for the reply man. I had posted a thread here some months back, and I remember we had connected on similar stories... http://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/showthread.php/93848-3rd-time-trying-finasteride-this-time-at-25mg!-Still-got-side-effects! A hyperandrogenic reaction...

Yeah, I use prescription 2% nizoral 2-3 times a week. And it provides temporary help. I also wash my face with 10% benzoyl peroxide soap called PanOxyl. I've used both of these for probably the last 10 years to keep my acne/scalp itch at bay. Even before I began balding. The itch has become...

Perhaps I phrased it incorrectly. I'm still taking finasteride and have not stopped. In fact, I'm now taking 1mg daily, whereas in late December I was at .25mg daily. However, the DHT itch has returned and the side effects have all disappeared except for acne/oily skin, which have gotten worse...

So my story goes as follow: 2014 - Tried finasteride 1.25mg for the first time and essentially has a PFS crash and went to the ER and was mortified of taking the drug ever since. 2015 - Tried finasteride again on several occasions, and each time had varying degrees of side effects. (brain fog...

Holy ****, I took .50mg last night before I went to sleep in an attempt to ramp up because .25mg didn't give me side effects the day prior and I've had THE WORST testicular pain. I honestly feel like I'm going to pass out. And my hands are going numb. This is so ****ing scary.
