Hello members new and old,
HairLossTalk.com was a great source of info when I first began my quest to stop my hairloss. At 20 years old I noticed temple recession and a general thinning of my hair.
I began propecia in 2003 along with nizoral.
after about 8 months I reduced down to 0.5 mg finasteride daily. (I had a lowered libido on 1 mg) the only other side was water semen, no big deal really.
I continued finasteride for 6 years experimenting with eod doseges and even went down to 0.25mg daily and even eod. I began skipping out on doses for weeks at a time and really saw no sheds or drastic changes. But i would always pop a 0.25mg here and there.
In 2009 I had a new girlfriend with and extremely high sex drive, i found it hard to keep up and while using comdoms I was have having a hard time (no pun here) maintaining errections...
So in march 2010 I deceided to quit finasteride and see what happens to both my hair and my libido/errection issues. Here is what I observed:
-More frequent errections,
-morning wood back almost daily
-MUCH easier to get hard
-errrections last until climax achived.
-hair began noticably thinner after about 6 weeks
-hair colour is getting lighter ( was dark brown almost black, now a lighter brown)
-frontal recession accelerated
-more irritation within the scalp.
Now I am 26 years old, I feel hairloss is less of an issue to me. It sucks to lose hair but not worth poor quality sex life.
I am now on a finasteride free regimen:
this is what i take
-resveratrol/curcumin - reduced inflamition
-toco-8 anti-oxidant properties
-biotin
-spironolactone 5% in the am after shower, pm after work
-folligen spray, a few times a week usually after work
-fluridil before bed
After i stopped finasteride i was on no treatmentd fore about 3 months, which was stupid. i believe i lost a bunch of hair in that time. Then began spironolactone and noticed a reduction in shedding.
I have only been on fluridil for 1 month so i cannot comment on its effectiveness. I plan to use this regimen for 6 months to evaluate.
If i can maintain then i will conclude this as a success. I have always had 'fine' hair and am destined to be a nw4-5.
If i lose ground in the next 4 months I am planning to try RU58841, and maybe even go back to 0.25mg finasteride eod. we will see.
I dont wish to use minoxidil as I feel it wont give the results i need in the frontal region. I plan to get a fue hair transplant in the next 3 years and save the minoxidil for crown maintenence in the later years.
that is all for now.any questions or comments feel free to post.
