I was 16 year old or so when my hair started to thinning. My hair is thin but thank god no baldness yet.
I used Regaine about 5-6 month but i had no results. Then i stopped for 4 month. I started to drink tea every day(green tea, people say it blocks dht). I drink like 5-6 glasses green tea everyday like 5 month but had no results.
Then my doctor wrote me Propecia 1mg. I been using this 3 month, and last month i started using Regaine Liquid also(with Propecia). I stopped drinking Green Tea because some say that green tea increases DHT instead.
3 month, no results yet. I probly use 1 year before i know if this works or not. My hair is thin but not so bad like most people and yet no regrowth and people who had less hair or baldness already had regrowth like with 3 month.

Now i drink coffee everyday like 1 liter or so. Is coffee dht blocker? I also diet, eat less so i can´t get more testorones that increase dht. I also taking now vitamins.

In short:
5 month regaine, no results, i stopped.

4 month later:
Propecia 1mg - 3 months
Regaine Liquid - 1 month
Vitamins - 1 month
Coffee - 1 month
Diet(less eating) - 1 month.

I using propecia but i still having every day(mostly morning and day) erection. People said that propecia should decrease sex so then it will lower dht but for some reason i still having erection everyday, having fantasy about girls(i cant stop) and most mornings my underwear is totally wet.
Im 21 year old. Does erection and sex fantasy increase dht??!! Coffee blocks dht? Please help me.

Should? No, not necessarily. I would say, at least at 50% cases the only one side effect is decreasing semen volume and nothing more.
But then how it can work when this not decreasing? i mean dht is linked with sexual right? less dht = less sex.
Looks like propecia is not working on me then. damn :(

get off that venom, son.
Propecia will **** you up over time. Your c*** will shrink, your semen will become useless and you'll become eunuch.

try minoxidil instead

There are people who have been on Propecia for a long time without any problems. Maybe listening to a "newbie" is not such a good idea. Also, i've read peoples sex drive increases while on Propecia.

What i need to do then?
Coffee? Green Tea? What helps plz?

finasteride alone should be enough. Really dont know about coffee being good for hair loss. Ive heard that green tea helps because it blocks dht but since you are on finasteride it shouldnt make a big difference.

Dont worry about the sides, most dont get them. The more you think about it the more you will be prone you get them in your head.

Propecia will take some time before giving you any regrowth. Now that you added minoxidil you may have it sooner.

Relax, you are doing what you can, give it time and report back in a couple of months with your progress.

finasteride is expensive and its only 1mg. Doctor told me that he can write out 5mg Finasteride too. Is Propecia 1mg and 5mg Finasteride has same effect? finasteride costs 50 euros, other only 8 euros

Propecia is a brand name for 1 mg Finasteride. Getting generic 5 mg pills and cutting them into 1 or 1.25 mg doses is cheaper and should have the same effect since it's the same drug.
