A. This drug wasn’t, isn’t and cannot ever be a drug for hair loss. It is a prostate drug and by coincidence and sheer greed, it was pushed as a drug for hair loss. Since then, manipulating the dosage is all that has been done precisely because if they change its mechanism, it won’t do a thing for hair.
B. The sides are real. Very real. I developed gyno from day 2. Puffiness, ever so slight. Breast enlargement then slight itchiness. Then, the Stella changed texture a bit. Then I got lipomastia.
My penis was hit from day 1. I’d feel as if my penis was dead, I’d “squeeze” it with my muscles and I would get no reply (kinda like kegels).
My sperm was substantially reduced and it was transparent af. From day 5 where I jacked off to a 6 minute p**rn clip when it should have been the 35 minute whole movie and I’m not paying for premium fcuk that.
My brain was foggy. That one is a tricky one I’ll say. Took some time to go away thank god I didn’t have any permanent damage as I’m already stupid enough.
Sex drive went low. Very low. So low that my balding head wasn’t even a concern anymore because I had no desire to go balls deep with any female. Maybe that’s how finasteride works? Renders you useless so you get over the fact you’re bald.
My stamina got destroyed. I’d have this weird fatigue as if I’m old, my body was aching. Nasty stuff.
All this was due to the FACT that this stupid drug was not just messing with my DHT, it was messing with the rest of my hormones. You should know finasteride tries to eliminate the production of testosterone, not just DHT. And it does so. Less testosterone, less free testosterone, higher SHBG, higher prolactin (that’s why many lactate too). It shows that your e2 can actually reduce instead of rise (as mine did) and the disruption of androgens is actually why you get b1tch t1ts and progressively round up and become a beautiful woman. Not to mention it feminizes your brain (that’s a cold hard fact).
Only if you’ve taken the drug you’ll know. And the entire post finasteride wave is - I believe - due to the fact that most of these people already have anxiety attacks and cortisol problems before starting the pill. Add low testosterone, LH and FSH to it (which happens due to depression unless you’re hypogonadal). If you give the pill to a guy with low T (as I was), you’ll get excellent results and dreadful sides. Get it?
Enough with this. Let’s put a bullet in between this thread’s eyes. You wonder and wonder about the drug and why doctor x says it’s ok and why doctor z prescribes it. My dudes, have you ever held a million dollars in your hands? Have you ever gone to a bank to check your account and it says $10,000,000? No. Well this industry is a multi billion one. Billions. BILLIONS. I once won $6,000 and spent it during 2 months while renting my own place. I went out, I bought Belves, I went with god knows how many escorts, every day. I felt like those movie drug lords. And you wonder if someone would sell you a story for a billion? I’d stuff that pill down your throat any day of the week.
Antiandrogens aren’t the devil. They just do what they are supposed to do. You, not being able to grasp that what they do has xyz sides that NO ONE can avoid, is a problem. You take propecia and go like “nooooo my sperm is fine” and “nah bro I go gym I grow strooonk” or “bruh no way my jaw isn’t gone, I just had too much pouting”. This is the problem. And then there’s “mate, what if I apply this topically huh?” or “yo I found this research that says barolutamododomejsianeujenmide blocks x enzyme and not y enzyme and we can fool this yo we get no sides”, there I wanna take a wet wooden board and break it over your head.
ANTIANDROGENS=FEMINIZATION % BASED ON PRE-DRUG HORMONAL PROFILE & RESISTANCE
RATE OF HORMONE REDUCTION, BODY CHANGE, BRAIN CHANGE OR LIVER STRESS WILL DIFFER BASED ON DOSAGE, DRUG SENSITIVITY, PRE-EXISTING HEALTH CONDITIONS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS WE SIMPLY CANT MEASURE.
Happy Tsuji2020. The end is near.
