I started a thread a while back and I thought it was minoxidil that was giving me low libido issues, I was using lipogaine at the time and lipogaine has anti-dht chemicals in it as well. It was not in my head, I didnt last long, and I was not waking up like I used to, and I did not feel as strong as I normally do down there. I'm in my mid 20s, this shouldnt have been a problem, especially at the time I started this (around 20). Well, it's been two years since I stopped taking everything except my ketoconazole shampoo. I felt way better off of lipogaine, but I still didnt feel 100%.
Just recently I decided to start minoxidil again, this time just using rogaine foam and not the kirkland stuff. Before I switched off of minoxidil I switched to kirkland foam and I recall throughout my entire 1-2 years of using minoxidil I had INSANE dandruff that nizoral could not cure. I was also using my keto shampoo 3x a week maybe even more (I used Pura Do'r, now I have the "Big three" shampoo on amazon). I'm almost two months into starting rogaine foam again, and within the first week of using it I cut out nizoral because I realized that it is probably the PG that was giving me the crazy dandruff and scalp itch since I do not have those issues anymore. And I also wanted to test my theory if nizoral was giving me issues.
I realized something. Two-three weeks after I stopped touching my nizoral shampoo, I feel different. I'm waking up stronger, i'm in bed better, and i'm hanging more than i normally do. Still don't feel like I did when I was 19, but that's probably because i'm 7 years older now.
You can take this with a grain of salt, but i've thoroughly "mentally documented" this because it's been very frustrating, and I feel like I have discovered that maybe I am hyper-sensitive to ketoconazole. So, I think i'm going to avoid dht blockers until a new procedure comes out. Felt like sharing this with everyone because I know everyone thinks it's crazy.
