Dealing with sides from finasteride, used it for over a year at 0.5mg with decent success, went to 1mg then sides kicked in.

Bloods show:

High Testosterone
High SHBG
High Prolactin
Elevated estrogen but not over the limit so still within “range”

Can zinc help?

Can anyone help?

I used to have the same condition as you, high prolactin, and a growing breast accompanied by impotence.Zinc supplements only lower estradiol levels.I suggest you stop taking finasteride immediately

I have peculiar hair change (texture change and slightly more shedding as I perceive) with zinc recently in just one week alone taking zinc supplements on alternate days. It's best not to use zinc as a treatment if u are not zinc deficient

What MG are you using? It’s supposed to be supplemented with copper if using long term or in high dose

50mg. Alternate days I take iron supplements. But now I have cut down on iron and stopped the zinc. Was on this regime for a week along with msm and flaxseed supplements ( close to year now)

I not sure if it's just my imagination but we had a hot spell weather for 2 weeks in my place. It could be due to the humidity too as I live in a tropical country
