Soo I made a post about getting gyno from 2 months on finasteride.. I went to my Doctor yesterday and he said I had to discontinue finasteride for the time being and he wanted me to wait it out cause he believes gyno will ho away on its own. I got a little aggressive and told him to consider prescribing me tamoxifen just in case. We went over the side effects together and he agreed that once I got a blood test he would prescribe. So now I gotta go 2 months without finasteride and I'm really worried about what will happen to my hair. Considering all finasteride did so far was give me a little shed (I knew 100% it was one of those positive sheds you get from finasteride). If anyone cares I will be posting my blood test on here. I had a qukc question. At what point in time could I get blood test without finasteride being in my blood. I ceased treatment 2 days ago. Thanks

sorry I dont really have an answer for your specific question, but I had a few people tell me that if you use ketoconazole (like nizoral) twice a week and do rogain twice a day you may not even need finasteride. also they said it kinda works hands in hand and you may even get to a point where you can go off both and just maintain your hair like a normal person.

Lmaoo dude whoever told u that is lieing! I used nizoral and rogaine for 5 month before realizing I needed finasteride... And also the only way to stop hair loss permanently inn todays age apparently is to end up with PFS.

False. Out of the entire big 3, finasteride is the most important. Rogaine/finasteride are for life you start treatment and as long as you want to keep your hair you keep on taking finasteride/rogaine.

Unless you get man boobs. Then you quit. But do you think if I stopped finasteride 3 days ago and took a blood test at start of next week that finasteride will be out of my system?

How do you know if you are getting manboobs?

Like... is it when they start to sag?

Look in and around your nipple area. If you feel some sort of hard tissue you're developing it. If it just sags it prov means you have fat accumulating there and isn't anything to be worried about. The hard fibrous tissue is what could be a problem (nothing life threatening)

What is PFS by the way? I googled it but didn't find anything hair related.

Lmaoo why you say that. The gyno didn't get to a point where its noticeable so once I clear it I really wanna hop back on finasteride
