What Dose Of Finasteride Should I Start With At 19

[Alphalete]

Hey guys. I'm 19 and I think the efficiency of minoxidil is wearing off / DHT is increasing way faster now for my minoxidil to maintain.

I'm contemplating purchasing finasteride through evopharmacy, but I don't know what doses I should start with.

Anyone?

Thanks.

 

[Alphalete]

I'm not on finasteride & I know you're thinking

"Not this horse jerker, f*** off!"

But what I can say is this,

I'd reccomend starting with .25mg dose as over time its said to reach the effectiveness of a higher dosage.

Slowing the conversion man, slow the conversion.

The only ultimatum thats in front of you now, is the efficiency of minoxidil is diminishing; forcing you to contemplate alternatives.

I was actually thinking ''not this pig f****r'' but you were close enough

Are you considering finasteride aswell btw?

 

[Alphalete]

Lmao!

You know I still am, mines has already arrived in the mail, sitting in my medicine cabinet.

Overall, I'm just conflicted with the reflex hyperandrogenicity possibly occurring.

As a user by the name @Retinoid has mentioned before. Recently started Nizoral though, probably gonna give it till my birthday before hoping on finasteride. (Nov)

I've also said awhile ago that my hair has thinned out from applying minoxidil to my jawline to stimulate beard growth.

Like an imbecile, I did this during night time, not realizing I could be scratching my face, then touching my scalp during sleep.

Now I'm waiting to see if it recovers 1st before coming to a decision about finasteride.


While I don't really have much hairloss, I'm mainly here because I'm nervous as my father is NW2.2.

Your father is a NW2.2? At what age? LOL! My dad is a NW5a at 50. He was about a nw3 at 35.

Where do you live? And do you know anything about wether finasteride can hinder height ?

He's trying to stop hair loss, not just take a pill daily for fun. 0.25mg will do nothing. There are no studies of 0.25mg's effectiveness. A waste of money if some one does that.

I am 19 and my doctor prescribed me 1 mg daily

Who are you talking about? xd

What do you suggest? Nothing else than 1 mg ?

There is the Drake study that showed .2mg reduced DHT and scalp DHT roughly by 60% if taken everyday and 1mg reduces it by about 70%. I have also scoured the Internet and someone actually took .5mg/EOD and had their DHT measured before and after and it went down approx 60%. So to say it is not effective is not true. Merck most likely recommended 1mg because it optimized a HIGHER reduction and had bearable side effects. I think the .25mg dose, while reducing almost as much DHT as 1mg, could possibly not reduce as much neurosteroids (may not affect ALL tissues such as 1mg not doing much for the prostate which is why 5mg is taken) which would help with long term side effects.

I am unsure how much of a threat reflex hyperandrogencity is. I think there are a lot of people on the forum that say Finasteride made their hair worse but I also think there is a lot of mental disease (BDD, OCD) and wishy washyness on the forum. To mitigate this possibility it may be good to introduce the Finasteride, such as take it once every three days, then 2, then EOD and then once/day.

I too am still on the fence, I am just using Rogaine and massage right now-minoxidil alone worked for me 10yrs ago and I never had to do anything afterward. My hair is doing much better but I also wonder, if I have male pattern baldness and both grandfathers and father are fully bald, is Finasteride inevitable? And if it is why not just take the damn drug.

Don't prematurely speak on things you don't know have been studied, weenie head.

Oh, and you're the robot weenie selling false narratives. Alphalete & I, are the nerd weenies on the stools; not listening to your bs.

Interesting that in that study, which I have never seen, said the lower doses did not increase Testosterone but still lowered DHT which may be why there are less side effects (less conversion to estradiol for instance).

This shows how the body does not really seem to value DHT as much for some reason. If a guy took Letrozole for instance, you would see testosterone increase significantly and LH and FSH shoot up which demonstrates the body highly values estrogen. For DHT I have seen people's T go up maybe 10-15%.

thanks for the response man. so you're 19, you don't think u have any growing left to do or anything like that?

If you are worried about how lack of DHT will f*** up puberty then wait until your early twenties. If you are fine with it then just start with 1mg.

The prescribed dosage in Japan is 0.2mg.

Start at .5 and dose from there, that’s the lowest dose I’ve seen with anecdotal evidence to back up its efficacy. Personally I don’t think you’ll be growing much after 19/20. I doubt finasteride would be an issue for you in those regards man
