    Default Reflex hyperandrogenicity on finasteride , weaker alternative?

    Hello,
    I had a reflex hyperandrogenicity on fin.
    "When the effects of androgens in the body are lessened, e.g. through lowering DHT or by blockading hormone receptors systemically, the body seeks equilibrium through a process called upregulation. This can take the form of increased hormone production and/or increased tissue sensitivity to the remaining hormones. The reason side effects usually gradually disappear with finasteride is probably due to such upregulation. In a small percentage of individuals, it may be that this process overshoots the mark, resulting in significant hyperandrogenicity. This is marked by such signs as greatly increased facial oil, increased pimples, and greatly elevated libido. It's possible that in certain cases such hyperandrogenicity overcomes the hair-protective effect of finasteride."

    Are there any alternatives to try for those who got this side effect?
    Is it possible that those respond "better" to weaker 5-α-reductase inhibitors, e.g. natural one like Saw palmetto or others ? Or would it end in a RH too?


    Please do not respond to this post if you think RH does not exist. I dont want to discuss it here.

    Hi Prontos,

    It seems I caught a similar case of Relex Hyperandrogenicity. I see you posted this in September last year. How are you doing now? Has your hair recovered/stabilized? Did you change your regimen? Have you had any side effects? Or do you still have any of those?

    Please let me know. Thanks
