Finasteride, Minoxidil, Revita, Nizoral...what Next?

[Wanheda]

Hey all. Wanting to get some advice on what my next approach should be. I've tried finasteride, Minoxidil, Revita shampoo, Biotin, Nourkrin and also 'Nicehair' suggestions (it's an e-book which has a pretty lengthy routine to follow for diet, dermarolling, topical application of Saw Palmetto, oils etc) - which I followed almost religiously for 6 months but without success. I wondered if my hair loss is due to other reasons so have a appointment with an endocrinologist but still 7 weeks away as going through NHS. I also have cold hands and sweat a lot so thought it might be some to do with endocrine system.

I have a slight thinning all over and slightly receding hairline too. Luckily still only a couple of centimetres but seems to be progressing faster as the years go by (only in my 30's).

finasteride gave me sides and had to quit (was on 1.25mg per day) and everything else I tried either caused more shedding or caused sides so had to stop. I also react to quite a lot of stuff.

I reckon if I can get the hair shedding to stop that will at least prevent any more loss or receding. Regrowth would be cool but I know it's hard to achieve so not counting on it happening. Got to be realistic lol.

Can anyone suggest anything? Preferably as natural as possible. Cheers.

when u noticed sides from finasteride?

It was literally within a few days...could get hard and go all the way but there was almost no ejaculation. Panicked to say the least!

It was a few years ago so can't recall exact days but yes was something like that.

Well, your prostate and therefore the liquid production doesn't work the same under the influence of finasterid and thats why you have a slightly lower amount of ejaculate, you should've stick to it to save your hair.

Never came across it, because it doesn't do anything for your hair..

Thanks guys. It was more than just reduced ejaculation volume. I wrote about it in another thread but forgot to add above. Basically could barely feel an orgasm which has never happened before apart from when on an anti-depressant many years ago (which I quickly quit). In any case I might just go back to finasteride but less than 1.25mg everyday which is what I was doing at the time. I've read the sides or risk of sides decreases with a lower dose.

 

[Pacey123]

Doesn't matter if you take .5 every two days or 1.25 every day because the DHT inhibition is the same, the only thing is that you need a couple of weeks to lower DHT to 30% on .5 E2D whereas 1.25 ED does that in a couple of days, end result is the same BUT the variation of 5AR enzyme in your blood may cause side effects if not taken every day since Finasterids half-life is very short, just stick to the established dose and if you have severe sides after one whole week of talking it, your body can't handle the drug, regardeless of the dose

Interesting stuff Pacey123! Learning new things on here everyday. Cheers.

Yes, use both rotated every other day, alongside the BIG3 regime, 100% helps as my wok colleague has seen results using them herself.
