This is getting ridiculous now, im 6 months on finasteride and my hair doesnt look better, and the only progress i noticed is i went from shedding like 25-30 miniaturized hairs and now i shed maybe 10- maximum 15. Does that really mean anything? the past 3-4 weeks my libido has been ridiculously high, if im not getting laid i have to fap 3x a day lately, this alone wouldnt be a problem at all, you know, if this drug was doing what its supposed to do.

I take finasteride 4x a week and me and my brother finish our packs always around the same time (hes been on finasteride for 6-8 years now and that sh*t worked like magic on his hair) so i dont think my dose is too low as my brother is doing fine (he forgets to take his every now and then) he got some great regrowth initially and has been holding tight the past years.

So, what im asking is if im noticing a HIGHER libido than pre finasteride do you think the meds arent working right or just arent gonna work on me? (no scalp pimples or itch, maybe once every 2 days on my temples i get a little itch for 2 seconds, def does feel like a DHT itch though) I dont have the typical Hyperandrogenism symptoms though so i dont think its that?

Can anyone relate to this and went on to notice good results?

Well, it depends. In my case, for example, my libido is ridiculously low (not to say non-existent), and have severe ed, yet my hair got steadily worse. It works differently from case to case.

Honestly what worries me is that for the past 5 month i did feel less horny than pre finasteride, my libido was still there but i could have easily skipped a day of fapping with no real intense urge to. Now my libido is sky high and i got 2 pimples on my face the past 3 days, which is really rare for me ever since i started finasteride. It kind of feels like the effects of the drug are wearing off?

I really dont wanna resort to dutasteride, i dont like the idea of taking that drug but f***, finasteride is not holding up imo.

Did anything else change in the past week? Have you eaten different foods? gone out in the sun more?

Honestly besides hitting the gym more not much else man, It sucks knowing most people notice great results at 6 months and I'm here and not sure if my hair is getting thinner and thinner, I'm actually dreading to get a haircut cause it might be worst than my last one (1month ago)

I can't speak to your results, but it's normal to notice an increase in sex drive after hitting the gym. Weightlifting will boost testosterone particularly if you start off from a sedentary position.

I had three testosterone measurements taken a while back, the highest, by about 25%, was when i was weightlifting.

Jesus, that's a pretty solid increase from working out alone. It actually makes a little sense considering I took over a 2 months break from the gym and only really got back in it a month ago.

Dave, in your opinion does fapping/sex mess with your hair? From what I'm observing, I only get pimples on my face when I fap a lot

I doubt fapping has any impact on hair.

But you know, try 4 days without fapping and see if it affects your pimples.

I thought DHT was the cause of hair loss?
