Starting 1 mg a day generic propecia!

[goldbondmafia]

Congrats dude! That's exactly how I feel! Honestly since I've started fin, i've started feeling confident and not worried cause I know I'm at least taking precautions for my hair

Also another update: Still no side effects! Also started taking 5mg of biotin once a day Peace guys!

Do you ever think you will go up to 1mg? I am getting back into lifting weights and am thinking I might up it to 1mg in a week or two. BTW I took biotin in the past, it didn't help really in hair thickness it just grew my hair a lot faster. You will notice your nails growing quick too, I usually keep some around if I get a bad haircut lol

Honestly, I'm a day away from two weeks and have 0 side effects, which was one reason i was doing .5, so i think after one more week or so i'm gonna bump it up to 1 mg. Still not too sure though, and honestly been wanting to add 5% minox foam. I originally wanted to just take fin and see it's effects alone but honestly I'm pretty willing to just do them both at same time and take them maybe for life or till i just don't want to anymore. I mean it's like brushing your teeth in the morning and night, just adding like 5 minutes more for minox foam right? But idk honestly haha. But i'll definitely post on here IF i do decide to add or change something up

2 week update: No sides, no shedding...yet, no loss i think, and no improvement I think. I am taking 4 pictures of my hairline at the end of each week so hopefully after a year, I'll be able to differentiate something Unfortunately, I have pretty longish hair so can't tell, but I'm planning on cutting it super short when I get back from a trip with some friends Peace guys!!

I've heard the thing about prostate cancer as well.. does anyone have any further info relating to this?

[user1991]

Hey guys! Just a short update: officially 3 weeks on generic fin! Ummm still 0 side effects! but i haven't seen any anything new with hair or shedding, i think this is a mental thing but my hair does feel better but who knows ha? Also have a question. I was wondering if any one knows if taking whey protein could potentially effect hair loss or propecia? Thanks! Peace guys!

Propecia Does Not Increase Prostate Cancer Risk According to Chief Medical Officer of The American Cancer Society

Finasteride actually prevents prostate cancer....the primary reason for an association with prostate cancer is the reduction of the prostate size and PSA test values, makes any preliminary prostate cancer less likely to be detected, and therefore the cancer is detected later, at a higher grade...Have to tell your physician you are on finasteride so they can take this into account when assessing your PSA test and prostate digital exam

Nope whey won't affect hair loss. I used to use it regularly then on and off. Just avoid creatine cause that raises DHT levels.

If your in the states you can buy whey online at bodybuilding.com and even including shipping you'll save a shiiton of money. GNC is known for ridiculously high prices.

BTW, if I were you Id avoid hydro whey (compared to regular whey) :

Ya I usually get it online for cheaper ha nah man it's all about the hydro whey, been using it for over a year now and have had great results for a leaner built. Unless it can mess up my hair then I'm done! Haha

Relax, brah. It's only been a month. Your hair still looks great when it is dry and styled. If I saw you IRL with your hair styled two years ago, I would never have guessed that you were balding. I say two years ago because now I am a trained hawk that can spot out the slightest hint of balding on anyone that I come across. I've had to stop myself several times from telling coworkers, friends, and others to get on fin ASAP.

Thanks, ya that's one of the reasons i'm keeping it long. I know, honestly, this month FLEW by! I guess it's good though cause I hear you usually see the side effects the first month and if u don't, you should be good? But we shall see...knock on wood.
Also I'm heading to vegas with some college friends for a 2 weeks so when I get back will do an update with some pics of the hair!! Peace guys!!

how many hairs would you say? when mine is wet I usually run my hand through and get like 2-5. Never occurred before fin I don't think.

Im only two weeks in on 1 mg and noticed a few more hairs shedding than usual, although it could be a mental thing since im sort of looking for hairs you know?

[user1991]

Hey guys been a while just a little update! Started taking 1 mg propecia two weeks ago and still not much of a difference I see. Other than that everything is still functioning in my body. I have some new pics but my hair has gotten long so idk how I'm doing growth wise...but I have some pictures I'm posting in a bit peace guys!!
