    Default 0.3mg Finasteride, & 1mg Melanotan II no side effects

    This is my first time post, and i wanted to share my experiences with Finasteride.

    I started taking Finasteride 1mg 5 days a week 2 years ago, within 1 month i had problems getting an erection, an literaly no sexual drive! this was very worrying since i was only 25 at the time.

    6 Months ago after noticing my hair beginning to really thin i decided to start taking it again at a much lower dose (0.33mg), at first i didn't notice any side effects but after 2 months i did notice less sexual drive and some erectile problems.

    I had previously taken Melanotan II (the barbie doll drug) to give me a nice tan and the side effects of that drug is spontaneous erections and increased libido, (as well as a glowing tan).

    So i stated taking Melanotan II with the Finasteride, to offset the side effects, and it seams to be working, My libido is throught the roof, i have an permeant semi everyday, and rock hard erections.

    Its been 6 months now and my hair is looking alot better too

    I am taking 0.33mg Fin 5 days an weeks for 3 weeks, then 1 week off, and 1mg Melanotan II every other day for 3 weeks an 1 weeks off.

    I am not a doctor and i dont have any medical training! and i am not sure of the long term effects are of combining these 2 drugs however i am very pleased with the results so far

    Do you inject this shit or can you buy it in pill form? Do you think you would have sides without taking melanotan?

    I injected it using a small insulin needle, about 5mm under the skin, however you can get it as a nasal spray, but its less effective.

    And defiantly!! without it i struggle having sex, but when taking melanotan, and sorry to sound blunt but im horny as F**k,

    Melanotan was orginaly developed as an erectile dysfunction drug, the side effects are the tanning.

    This is actually not true I believe. Melanotan appears to be originally developped as a drug to reduce the rate of skin cancer in humans. Researchers thought that they could let the skin produce a protective tan before being exposed to UV light (the sun).

    I know a lot about Melanotan so if people have questions I can probably answer it.

    There is Melanotan I and II. II is more potent and is the one most commonly used because it is more expensive to achieve the same effect. If somebody just says "Melanotan" they probably mean II.

    They were both originally developed to prevent skin cancer. Melanotan II only underwent a few clinical trials, but Melanotan I has underwent many and was just approved (in implant form) for use in Europe for a rare skin disease called EPP (Italy and Switzerland have actually had it approved for several years now). It's called Scenesse if you want to google it. The trials have shown that it is safe with minimal side effects. The most serious side effect may be that it darkens moles, which is a sign of melanoma. This is just correlation and it has not been proven to cause or prevent melanoma in vivo, although research points to it preventing it. There is tons of research pointing to it having benefits other than increased protection from the sun, such as being an anti-inflammatory.

    Okay bud, one question, I've just read that melanotan treats psychogenic ED (basically psychological problems with getting a boner.)
    Fin related ED is the result of hormonal insufficiency (not psychogenic ED.)
    So why would this work for the OP? If what he's taking is only thought to improve the boners of guys with ED triggered by neurological issues and not hormonal ones, then surely the only way this would work is if his Fin related sides were actually all just in his head in the first please?

    A good tan can improve the appearance of hair density. Sounds like you may have found a winning combination. Now hopefully, Melanotan II won't decrease the effectiveness of finasteride. Is Melanotan II expensive? From what I've read it's an injectable. Do you have any photos to post?

    Thanks for posting by the way. Adds value to the forum.

    I dont think the MT2 is interfering with the FIN as my hair looks thicker but also feels thicker too , i will try and post some pic's in the next few days,

    I pay £20.50 ($30) for 10mg so its not too expensive.

    Like is said in my OP im not sure how these to drugs will react together but results are excellent!!

    Forgot to add to also you should be aware off is hair color changes, this is a side effect of the increase Melanin in you system, my stuble has changed from brown to jet black also my hair color is starting to change from light brown to jet black.

    When I was preteen, my hair was a very dark brown, nearly black. As hair miniaturization developed due to MPB, my hair color changed to a medium brown.

    Wonder if Melanotan II can do anything for gray hair?

    The FDA advises against using Melanotan II as it has not been approved for use in humans. But ofcourse, on forums like these we don't care that much about things like that . But I don't really know, battling the side effect of a drug with the side effect of another drug never seems like a good idea to me. I've read a few things about melanotan II (what's the difference between I and II anyway?) but I didn't come across something very negative besides a few links that stated that some users developped rapidly growing moles, which might or might not have been skin cancer. But that information was not everywhere, so who knows...
