My 4 Month Exp On .25 finasteride Ed And 5% minoxidil

[Norwoodcemetary]

Hello first post... Ive been on .25 walmart finasteride since dec 1 2016...i had ball ache and brain fog the first 2 weeks but i just rode it out and it went away...now the only sides i have are puffy nipples and breast pain especially after binge drinking..i remember having puffy nipples before finasteride just not as consistent as now...im 32 5'11 weight train 5 days a week..around 13% bf...
Im just worried i will develop full blown breasts to save my hair...as for my hair i was a nw2.5 just receeding since like 27...and after the 2nd month i shed like crazy all over my scalp and lost alot of density...it looks like the shed has slowed down now...also on min 5% once a day at night....any others exp puffy nipples or chest pains??

You are a NW2/2.5 very good for your age.

minoxidil don't give me sides at all.

Found this old thread. Actually a NW2A. Your temples still normal at NW2, esp for your age and the front hairline has gone backwards (the “A”) but still looks pretty good. Def stay on the finasteride to maintain but looks good. Hair is real short already so might even suggest a buzz cut.

N now my crown is thinning...was dense as hell before finas....inb4 well maybe ur just an agressive balder and finasteride is slowing it down...no i all i had was temple recession that took 5 years to receed now im balding all over....fuarrr

OP, you're not at a point where you should be seeing how .25mg is doing, if your balding is aggressive whatsoever you're gonna need the full 1mg or AT LEAST .5. What i do is 1mg MWF and then throw in .5's on the off days whenver i feel like it.

[Norwoodcemetary]

Hm hard to tell in your pics cause the perspective is all off. You have real good density and your vertex is fine. Get proscar and cut into pieces to get to 1mg. I started .5 ED and then bumped up and didn't get any sides or anything.

Try some farther away pics with the camera level with like your eye line. Just block out your eyes with an editing program.
