Any advice to counter my sides under topical finasteride 0.025% 3x/week (blood test inside) ?

Ye I use 5000iu D everyday for months already. But ye I read some that recovered this weak ejaculation force after 7 months to years after quitting finasteride. So im hopeful
It's a while ago but I do recall it took me a while. I was also rekt in general which I think may have been adrenal fatigue. I high dosed vitamin c for that. Would def recommend trying cialis though. If you've never tried it, IMO it has an actual aphrodisiac effect unlike sildenafil (no idea why this dumb forum blocked the trade name ffs)

Yes im just on RU. Debating to use oral min again or not due to it affecting dht and receptor functions in recent studies. I quit finasteride before for 4 months and my side effect didnt improve so I took finasteride again like a desperate idiot. Been off 3 weeks now. I still have hope to recover someday.
Ru doesn't give you side effects?

Not at all. Today I used 150mg RU and derma stamped at almost 1.5mm.
Curious how you get on with it. Since getting rekt by 5ar blockers I have noticed I am very sensitive to anything similar. I tried spironolactone and noticed an effect on libido, so I'm wary of RU. I know it binds to the androgen receptor rather than to DHT itself but it's kind of the same deal really if it goes systemic.

U never know until u try. I wont be needling anymore dont want it to go too systemic. So far im good. But I need more time to really tell. Been like 3 weeks on it now.

Keep us updated mate. It sounds good in theory if it doesn't go systemic. The problem I found with 5ar blockers was I thought I was getting no side effects because they developed so slowly, but on reflection the effects were so insidious that I didn't notice them until long after I stopped using. It's not easy to measure that but I hope you can for your own sake never mind guiding others.

Gonna keep track on my morning erections. If I stop having them, then its deffo the RU. Btw RUs molar mass is 369. So it goes systemic for sure. But I rather use RU than finasteride or dutasteride. They never worked for me anyways. So trialing RU with oral minoxidil as a last attempt at stopping male pattern baldness or slow it down.

How is it going so far?

Do topical finasteride have more sides than oral? Is topical more effective than oral?

The problem is if your trying to find something to lower the side-effects just remember lowering the sid-effects will affect your hair improvements . It's hard to have both worlds .
