hi, I really need some advice ...I'm still relatively new to all this, I'm 31 and a Norwood 3, I've been on minoxidil and finasteride for a year with no sides till just recently - low libido, tired, lazy, brain fog but its the tiredness and brain fog thats getting to me more then the low libido. Right now I'm putting up with it. Any suggestions with what i should do if I have to give up finasteride?? Would Revivogen make up for the loss of finasteride? Or anybody know what would best substitute finasteride??? Is it dutasteride? Are the sides on dutasteride usually like the sides on finasteride? The thing is I'm planning to have a hair transplant but now I'm concerned that I might not be a good candidate if Im having problems with finasteride. I suppose if i can no longer stand the sides of finasteride switch to Revivogen or dutasteride. If I also have problems with dutasteride does that rule out a hair transplant?? I soppose a hair transplant would still buy me sometime and i could use minoxidil and revivogen on the crown even if i no longer use finasteride or dutasteride. Any suggestions would be really appreciated I'm not giving up on this, someone please advise me regarding my current situation, i really dont want to lose anymore hair its depressing. thanks again jojo

sorry to hear that dude... I had the same sides from finasteride, i took it for 7 years and the sides only started 2 years ago and nearly killed me..
The sides only got worse to the point where i was chronically ill... body rejected the finasteride. i stopped over 3 months ago and the fatigue has lifted, starting to get morning erections again as well... i started revivogen but that also gives me bad brain fog.. im now stopping that as well and trying spironolactone cream and crinagen...
Its all trial and error, everybodys body reacts differently.... but the sides your talkin about are real..beware - finasteride caused me very serious sides, listen to what your body is telling you. My hairs falling out fast since stopping but im feeling almost half human again.
Long road to recovery.... weed off it and try revivogen.. there are some good reports of maintaining hair on the forum.

JoJOL just go buy DHEA and take it with vitamine E every morning on empty stomach. You will kill your problem and feel like a million bucks. 50 mg of DHEA..try to find a micronized or ultra micronized version of DHEA and take a good kind of vitamin e with tocotrienols. then reduce your dose of propecia..you don't need much to affect your dht in the scalp. Move your ***..go to the gym..then report in a month..you can also take DIM.. Good stuff..so much stuff out there guys on this very forum..
Squeegee,
have you taken dhea?
i read this quote on the net ...
Disputed effects
In the United States, DHEA or DHEAS have been advertised with claims that they may be beneficial for a wide variety of ailments. DHEA and DHEAS are readily available in the United States, where they are marketed as over-the-counter dietary supplements.[21] A 2004 review in the American Journal of Sports Medicine concluded that "The marketing of this supplement's effectiveness far exceeds its science."[22] Because DHEA is converted to androstenedione and then testosterone, it has two chances to aromatize into estrogen- estrone from androstenedione, and estradiol from testosterone. As such, it increases estrogen levels more than testosterone in men.
How long did you take it for?
