You anti-Propecia zealots are disgusting sometimes! This guy is obviously happy with his results and wants to share them with everyone and you actually take the time to insult his hair and his physique. Why would you want this person to feel bad about himself? Does this type of behavior somehow make you feel better about yourself? Isn't this forum about trying to support each other?
You people behave like animals!

I know. Even someone who is an obvious success has to be dragged down somehow.

He starts asking him if hes married or has kids ie did his dick fall off or is he sterile.

The kid is 29 or 30 years old probably not even married yet.

They are being obvious jerks because they get to hide behind the internet and whoever runs this forum lets them get away with it. I think its time for us to put them on ignore and move on.

Just keep being positive.

Ya we are trying to help you by saying you should not trade your health for hair. Who knows, in future, due to hair cloning you might get a rockstar head of hair anyway, but the damage to your health might not be so easily reversible. But in the end its your personal choice. If you take propecia knowing all the risks, more power to you! Aderans is hopefully coming soon by the way, so even if you want to maintain what you have, you won't need that silly propecia drug!

Sorry but the guy looks semi-balding with long hair and looks to be suffering from muscle wasting probably from a decade of suppressing his hormones, wouldnt be surprised if his voice has feminised & he has started to develop female breast tissue, not to mention his performance in bed after 10 years of propecia abuse id be surprised if he even has an interest in procreating with the opposite sex anymore.

Have fun with fin....

The question is not where he is now but where he is vs. when he started fin. Remember DHT meds are much better for maintaining than regrowing. His hairline is in the same place as it was and he does not have bare patches. For someone who started losing it as a teenager and is now 30, this is a serious accomplishment....without meds he would easily be bald right now.

and remember this is without consistent use of keto, no use of minox, no dutasteride. If he wanted he could have gone all out and who knows where that would take him.
We are all hoping for a treatment that grows rockstar heads of hair for all of us, but for now, what we have is still amazing if you think about where hair loss treatments were a generation ago (awful looking transplants and minoxidil)

But it comes at a cost. Propecia can mess up the hormonal balance in the body. People are willing to sacrifice their health for few hairs on their head. That is not a good thing IMO. What if one day you have ED, Insomnia and depression due to this drug. You would want to trade every bit of your hair to get back your health. Ya call me a troll if you want, but I'm entitled to my opinion.

You call this a good example? He seems to have diffuse thinning and a NW3 pattern. He just has a good combover kind of style. But still better than being bald for sure.

I think when we run out of realistic options, then we go for shaving the old noggin.

If you are one of the men who get these side effects, then stop taking it , go bald, and join the trolls on here hoping it will suck for everyone else too.

OP is a good example of how you can live for a decade with MPB and not have a visible change in hair as long as you take consistent action

I do not think it is fair to blame his skinny physique on fin, a lot of guys skinner than him are not on fin, and he was skinny in his old pictures too. It's like on propeciahelp.com, I see people blaming every physical change on this drug. "I look more tired now than I did in 2001, fin did this to me." "Well my back hurts sometimes, thanks to fin." As if nothing else could possibly cause these very common conditions.
We have 5-10 year studies on this drug, we have people here who have taken it since the 90s, we have been studying 5-alpha reductase deficiency in developed males for decades....this is not a spooky mystery medicine whatsoever

Now that I am on dut and fin together I will let you guys know if I notice a sexual difference. But after reading the studies and after 2+ years on fin I am not exactly expecting a change

Not meaning to dampen the mood BigT, but in the event of sides (and it might happen...), what is the plan of action, power through? Reduce doseage and move on? Accept and embrace?

Good question. Thanks for the inquiry.

Since I'm objective enough to acknowledge that side effects are a real concern, I have already prepared a course of action. Know that the primary course of action is to not over-think and hyper-analyze the possible presence of sides.

In the event of sides, I'll taper off of fin, accept my baldness, and rely on facial hair and eye-wear to frame my face. I've already got an extensive wardrobe and have sharp threads to keep my look second to none. I've already drastically increased the quality of my nutrition and am religiously consistent with the frequency of my exercise.

As for permanent sides, I have hard time believing they actually exist because every testimony of them I've seen has come from seemingly mentally unstable, manic, excessively flamboyant individual spewing incoherent babel.

Thanks for the well wishes, bud. I'll be sure to enjoy maintaining my hair and titanium grade boners while advancing my career and life in general.

Sounds like something a NW6+ would say.




Doubt OP will come back to respond to this. He's probably too busy being out enjoying hair.

My fin gets here any day, I'm excited as fkkkkkkk.

I dont agree, I think someone with a shaved head who is jacked would look far better

Do you still have a penis?

I am married to the women of my dreams and have the same sex drive as I did when I was a teenager. I also stopped using Propecia for a few months with no adverse effects when my wife and I wanted to have a kid. Once she knew she was pregnant I jumped back on with no issue. All is well below the belt and taking Propecia was the best decision that I ever made for myself.

That is good to know!
