Hey everyone, Happy new year!
Been on finasteride for 10 months now and here are some bullet points of what's happened. Any advice is seriously appreciated!
- lost about 30% density in front, lost 20% density in crown and diffused thin every where else, where it was previously thick
- increased anxiety (although this may be due to the more rapid hair loss)
- Bouts of insomnia. one week I will sleep well and the next I have horrible trouble sleeping, even with sleep medication
- erections while sleeping! This one is weird, because I have never had this, not even once since a teenager. Now I will wake up multiple times every night with a full erection.
- scalp sensations - itchiness, especially at hair line and tingling crawling sensations
- rapidly fluctuating libido - some days I have to masterbate or have sex multiple times, some days, virtually no sexual desire at all
I know there's not much anyone can say about this, but I am hoping some one can share some experience or advice. I am thinking, while my DHT is low, that there has been a increase in testosterone and this is what's causing the increase in hair loss.
who says stick with it and who says throw in the towel?
