Hi everyone!
I just got some FUE for my frontal area (1250 grafts, hairline) 5 weeks ago, and immediately after my doctor suggested, I started taking finasteride. I gave it a try (1.25mg as1/4 of proscar, M-W-F) during 20 days, but I found I completely lost my morning erections so I stopped altogether, and after more than a week I'm completely back to normal in that regard.
Nonetheless, I am willing to try the topical finasteride to see if I can benefit from it while minimizing the side effects (if that's a possibility in my case, I still don't know) as I want to control the DHT conversion locally, for that purpose I ordered the NR-11 from polaris labs (Minoxidil Sulfate/Finasteride/Alfatradiol- 12%/0.1%/0.05%). Question: Anyone knows the main differences between Monoxidil and Minoxidil Sulfate?.
Additionally, I decided to also add RU58841 to the equation, so I ordered a 50ml (5% concentration, KB solution) from Anagen, as I also want to tackle the problem from the anti-androgen angle.
So in summary, I want to tackle the problem in a topical way aiming at 2 fronts mainly, preventing some T to DHT conversion in the follicles (hopefully not going full systemic) with the topical finasteride solution, and also preventing some effects of the inevitable DHT that still will be present with the RU. I'll give it a try for at least 6 months (unless some undesirable side effects happen, or something... - hopefully not) as in my case I no longer have empty areas (after the hair transplant) but I do see clearly thinning on my crown and top areas (specially now that my hair is growing after the buzzcut), so even if it doesn't completely stop the hair loss in my case, any significant reduction on the hairloss rate will have clear benefits down the line (compared with doing nothing).
Any experience, opinion or warning regarding what I've just explained will be greatly appreciated guys, I haven't decided the regimen yet regarding amounts and frequencies,I plan to use the two products separately, so I hope to get a better idea from your thoughts on it!
Thanks!
PS. I am 31 years old, and have been using minoxidil foam for about 2 years twice a day, and Nizoral 3x per week.
