Starting with Finasteride today 3/16/2016

[Logan]

Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum. I am starting with generic Finasteride today. I was on Minox 2% for 1 1/2 year then moved on to 5% for 1/2 year. Minox helped me very much but now hairs have started to fall again and are thinner than before. So i finally decided to give Fin a try. I can no longer stand my hair falling out having one important arm like Fin still left for me to try. I will share my experience that how it will go with Fin.

Where is your loss? Been on internet fin (finpecia) since november and my hairline no better. Crown seems to have thickened up. Hair is graying and looks like shit anyway though.

Dye your hair? Women do this all the time.

My loss is kind of diffuse. Thinning is allover the scalp. Though i can hide my loss with shampoo but when my hairs are wet you can see my scalp. And recently my hairs started falling more than before even on minox. So i started with generic fin ( Proscalpin) ordered online. It just 4 days i can't tell much. Though i am anxious (results/sides).

Yeah but 1) it doesn't look natural 2)its falling out anyway and the upkeep of roots isn't worth it.

Hello Artista
Thank you for your warm welcome.
Yes Artista i am positive and hoping for the best. I will share my experience with Fin.
Sorry i forgot to mention my age. I am 28 years old.
As far as baldness is concerned it runs in my family. My grand father and father both are bald.
And my younger brother who is 23 has also lost significant amount of hairs.
Minox helped me for 2 years but thinning increased in past 6 or more months. Lets see how Fin goes.

Good to hear back from you Logan!
I am so glad that you are staying positive and not allowing your hair issue to effect you!!

Your now at a very good age, you will now be able to have better foresight now.
When you get into your late 20s you will have even BETTER foresight.

Ive been on Finasteride since August 1st 2013!
My hair has been improving to this day because of Finasteride ...of course it takes its time-lol.
Stay on Minoxidil ...I started Minoxidil last Nov. 2015.
It also is helping my hair now!
Look in to using Biotin as well.
Biotin has a very long history of HELPING men and women's hair to improve!!
Im GLAD that you came on to this very good Forum, BTT.
Stick around with us bro and always STAY POSITIVE.
Worry and stress WILL cause more bad issues to ones hair and ones health too!!

Sorry for late reply. Though i am native of India...i am living currently in Georgia, USA because of business requirement.
Artista i want to know your view about morning wood when on fin. Its been five days , i have not got one. Should i wait for few more days or its is more psychological? i am trying to be positive but it is always there in back of your mind.

A week completed on fin. I haven't had sex or masturbated this week so don't know about the sexual side effects. But i didn't get morning erections for this week so i am now in two minds to whether to continue fin or not. I don't know if this is normal. Not any other side effects.
