Okay, I'll be more specific - revivogen, s5 cream or a minoxidil containing azaelic acid or some form of DHT inhibition?? What's best?

Hi guys, I'm posting on an iPhone so I'll be brief. In order to treat male pattern baldness I commenced using finasteride in April of 09 & added minoxidil toward the end of last year to good effect. After suffering unacceptable sides from the finasteride, some of which persist to this day, I dropped it from my regime in January...

Frankly, I'm insulted by the insinuation that this is in my head. These side effects are acknowledged by Merck (the same company involved in the Vioxx saga no less) and my experience is very similar, if not identical, to a number of people who have suffered an adverse reaction to using this...

I went to a few health food stores trying to find some DIM extract, and the person at the first shop said they had never heard of it and the person at the second shop said they had never seen it available for sale over the counter in Australia. As such, I'll have to pick some up in the US next...

Today will be the 17th day since I last took finasteride, and things have taken a turn for the worst. After three days of steady improvement, morning wood, the odd spontaneous erection and increased libido (something I noticed was especially prominent yesterday - near my 'normal' level), today I...

Okay, I'll try not to post in this thread until after I get back from vacation (or at least assuming things don't deteriorate from here). Anyway - on exactly the 14th day (yesterday) since I took my last pill, I finally had some morning wood. Same thing this morning. Libido is still bad (maybe...

Okay, today is the 12th day since I took my last pill. Still no real resolution as far as side effects are concerned - erections are perhaps slightly more firm, but I'm basically where I was when I quit. My libido is still completely non-existent, I feel no sensation when I'm trying to be...

I spoke to the doctor who prescribed me the medication on the phone earlier this morning. He was very relaxed, even in the face of me mentioning my research into irreversible sides. He indicated that it would take two to four weeks for me to get better based on the experience of his other...

So, today is the 4th day I've been off the drug (bear in mind I was only taking 1.25mg EOD to begin with, so I've effectively missed only one dose), and I haven't noticed any resolution of the side effects yet. Nuli - can I ask how long you took the drug for before you discontinued use, and...

I've made my choice Mew. The finasteride is going in the bin. Having reviewed a lot of what you have written (though I'm not scientist and have a hard time deciphering some of it), however, and having read a number of threads across the internet that pertain to permanent sexual side effects from the use...

Firstly, thanks for the reply (I also realise I have probably posted this in the wrong part of the forum.) The reason why I don't think the sides are in my head has to do firstly with the fact that I was not thinking about my libido at all prior to the first physical indication that everything...

Hi guys, I'm a long-time lurker on this site (going back to the middle of about 2008) and it was through here that I learned about the ins and outs of hairloss treatments, so to that end, I appreciate everything that you guys do. To give you some background about myself, I'm a 22 year old who...
