    Default Anything beneficial in 2014?

    Man these last couple of months I have been really depressed. I gained 20 pounds. I just dont give an f anymore. I am about to start drinking again. This stuff is so frustrating. I mean why do we have to lose our hair on top of our heads. Why not our pubes or our chest hair or back hair. Why does it have to be on top of our heads. I am progressing very quickly. The point is I look around on these forums and it just seems this is the most fd up industry ever. SNake oils, approval trials. I cannot take FIN because of a medical condition. My dr told me not to take it. I have been taking rogaine for 4 months and my hair looks worse. Sorry to ramble, but IS anything beneficial going to come out in 2014? ANYTHing worthwile? I hate this cant wait for a day when we are all celebrating. Thanks for viewing my rant. Tell me something good.

    If the hair loss happened anywhere except the head, I would be grateful. As far as anything new coming out this year, I doubt it. Maybe another advancement in hair transplant technique, but an actual cure, I just don't see it. I hope I am wrong.

    Did your doctor say no to Avodart as well? It's a powerful medication, so most men take just a fraction of a capsule. It may not hurt to get another doctor's opinion. It's usually easy to confirm a doctor's caution. You might try searching "Finasteride xyz medical condition" to check the merit of his opinion.

    He cannot take a 5ar inhibitor so you suggest him a more powerful 5ar inhibitor? Am I missing something here? I guess what people say doesn't always have to make sense.

    I asked Dr. Cole about that a while back. I don't know what specific medical condition he's referring to that contraindicates Finasteride. Sometimes a person who cannot tolerate Propecia does fine on Avodart and vice versa. Although Avodart is more powerful, very small doses can tame it down a bit while still providing some benefit.

    Thumbs up

    Hi Deuce, First of all I feel for you my friend!
    Your depressed right now but you are here for a reason, SUPPORT.
    Do not allow your depression (due to hair loss) to consume your whole existence!
    Things will get better. The majority of members here know and feel that.
    Ill say again,,DON'T ALLOW your hair to ruin your life.
    You've gained weight , well you can easily lose that extra weight. Get into an exercise routine, not to impress others but JUST FOR YOU.
    Decide to be happy Deuce.
    You had said..
    "My dr told me not to take it (finasteride)".
    Why would he say that?
    Do you have a medical condition? How old are you Deuce?
    Doctors after all are human beings just like the rest of us.
    My doctor (who is pretty much an OBJECTIVE type of man) described to me how positive a med that Finasteride COULD be.
    None of his patients that he has prescribed Fin' to has experienced any bad sides..In fact all of those patients have experienced POSITIVE results.
    Some VERY minor some very MAJOR.
    Deuce, you WILL be OK bro..

    Its always possible something pops out of nowhere, but nothing big is really planned that I know of for this year. A lot of times though stuff comes of nowhere that takes everyone by surprise

    Minoxidil and finasteride are the two best things we have. Their original use as all of you know wasn't for hair loss. It is just amazing that after all this time and research, our only treatments were basically accidents.
