Starting... quitting... then restarting finasteride

[dixon1]

i quit finasteride in September 2011 after being on it since March 2009. It worked well for the first 1.5 years, but shedding steadily got worse - I almost believed my hairloss problems were a thing of the past!. I also had side effects with erections. Then I switched to using dermatch as a cover up since September 2011. But, dermatch has its own problems, e.g. swimming pools, beach holidays, where it will wash off. I now have decided to use nizoral shampoo, which I think has very slightly thickened by hair, but its not enough. So I am going back on finasteride, despite the fact that I know it will cause erection problems - will have to use v**** or something, which sucks when you are only 28! But its either that or go ugly and bald, and settle for a half decent wife haha
