How do you guys feel about finersteride?
I've been on it almost a year and it has halted my hair loss completely. I don't expect it to last forever but it's doing what it is suppose to be doing. I haven't experienced any side-effects thankfully.
My doc said that these side effects aren't likely to happen to folks who take it before their mid 30's due to their testosterone being able to balance it out. Said that these side effects coincide with men having a drop in testosterone in their mid 30's
The clinical studies showed 1-2% of men experienced sexual side effects. How much of this is psychosomatic? Men who are experiences hairloss are already mentally vulnerable, so I think theres a good chance a lot of the reports of side effects are psychosomatic or come from men that were going to experience a drop in testosterone entering their mid 30s or 40s. However, I do think that these side effects are real life for some users.
I shaved my head bald
Good for you, seriously. Owning it is a good way to go and much harder than guys (who haven't lost a hair on their head) make it seem when they say "just shave it". My roommate finally buzzed his head and has been doing very well with the ladies ever since. He's a white guy with extensive hairloss and was rocking a pony tail for 4 year with no hair on top :x
