I’m on 2mg dutasteride, 3ml minoxidil x2 every day the past 1,5 years. Started propecia 2014 then switched to dutasteride in 2017. This costs me about 150$/month

1. My hair looks decent now but I havn’t had a sex drive this year AT ALL. I never think about sex anymore.
2. I also feel very depressed, can’t find enjoyment in anything anymore. I used to like playing games, talking to people, watching movies. I have no interest in that anymore.
3. I also like bodybuilding and always dreamed about doing anabolic steroid cycles, but I never started since I was worried about becoming bald. I’m 6 foot 5 and would really like focusing more on bodybuilding/athlete (basketball)
4. Minoxidil makes my hair really greasy and I read that it decreases collagen—> old skin
5. I always wanted black hair (I have light brown) but I can’t dye my hair or it will damage it. I also avoid the sun because it makes the hair lighter so I’d look blonde


I honestly have stopped caring what people think about me. Before I cared a lot but I realised it’s meaningless. I can’t continue to suffer from all these side effects. Even if I had a supermodel face I don’t even have an interest in girls anymore.

I’m thinking about QUITTING dutasteride, minoxidil. If I do this I will lose my hair. I can always get a high-quality wig if I wanted which would look even better than my original hair + I wouldn’t keep having these complications from the hair meds.

What do you guys think? I regret even starting finasteride/dutasteride/minoxidil. Wasted so much money and minoxidil probably aged my skin a lot and makes my hair really greasy.
