hi again,
as some might remember i started taking finasteride about 1 month ago.
i got sides really soon (after 3-4 days of starting treatment), while taking 1mg daily, these were ball ache, weak erections, reduced libido, some breast pain. i reduced the dose to 0.5mg and since then things have been great side-wise. everything back to normal. except for this massive shed. maybe the tons of hairspray and gel and nanogen are to blame, maybe its the minoxidil, but fact is im losing huge amounts of hair after every shower. getting thinner day by day basically.
so heres whats worrying me
someone told me the fact that i showed very early sides is a sign that i risk permanent damage to my body. is that so? does anyone have experience with this? most people seem to develop sides somewhere after several years rather than a couple of days into starting finasteride.
is the dose of 0.5mg enough for a 22 year old guy thats nw3.5 and started receding at 17 ? can i hope for regrowth and maintenance, or just a slowing of the loss? every male in my family history has been nw5 by the age of 25 (yikes). so kinda figure... finasteride is not going to amaze me at all, and is probably not worth the money, and health risk anyway (wich is why im researching hair systems atm).
hoping for some input! thanks alot guys, cheers from waldo
