First of all, scientists really need to find a way to make this stuff a topical, or something similar because it really does work.
I began taking finasteride (1mg - 1.25mg/day) October 2010. I never really got the results like some of the success stories on here (peapoddy, SE-freak, strange karma etc.). I would say my results peaked at month 7 (May), but rapidy declined. Heavy shedding occurred like never before in July and August. I did not have confidence that it was worth waiting the full twelve months. So by month 11 (September 22), I got a script for Avodart. I began taking 0.5mg/day for 30 days and let me say that the results I have experienced in 30 days, has been amazing compared to the 11 months on finasteride. Thicker hair shafts all over, great density, quality of hair looks and feels better, no itchy scalp etc.
After 30 days though, I discontinued using .5mg/day.
I am now on approx day 36 and am experiencing some scary sides. Brain fog, fatigue, libido and ejaculation issues. I MAY try using .5mg every third day
My dilemma now is, should I continue using this medication with hopes that the sides will disappear as my body gets accustomed to this stuff?...Or flush this stuff down the toilet and don't look back? I really wish I wasn't a vain person and could just shave my head and be done with this $hit.
Has anyone used this stuff before, long term? If so, please share your experience and provide some feedback
