Finasteride startet to work for me, after more than 1 year

[Deusmaximus]

Its been more than 1 year since i startet with 1mg daily. All of these months, i still lost a handful of hair every time i washed them.
Now since 1 month, i only lose 0-5 hair when washing. So almost nothing.
Interesting is that since 1 month, my libido is close to zero, and i almost never feel horny. My dick still works, but erection gets only to 50%.
All the time before i never had any issues.

Yeah it works, ive been on it for years. Only thing is that it NUKED my libido, and I mean nuked. I used to get horny for no reason, now I don’t remember what morning wood feels like. Softer erections too. Lately I’ve been questioning if it’s all even worth it.

I can also confirm it works - my older brother is on it and its saved his hairline.
hes never mentioned a loss of libido tho.

Thanks for confirming bro. There wasn’t enough clinical data on this fda approved drug prescribed for hair loss.

just wanted to include an anecdote that the loss of libido isnt guaranteed.

unluckily my libido is still the same, i say unluckily because finasteride has not fixed my masturbation addiction

my masturbation addiction led me to experience issues like premature ejaculation during sex and distraction from study and work

 

[sytyl]

you sure it's fin that affected your libido and not other things in life?

 

[joeveniro]

distraction from study and work

same, not counting it fucks my ability to remember shit or focus on anything ( plus i feel dumber, when i start nofapping after ~~3 days my mind feels way clearer )

 

[grimy]

Do you think you’ll be able to live with the sexual sides long term?

 

[SOS-Sonic]

7 month into fin currently, and I got 0 side effects like most people. Hair stopped falling out completely (1-5 in showers). Fin side effects are nocebo most of the time.

trading one problem for another. Chose wisely

People cope than fin reduces libido and causes ED when 15% of men naturally have these issues JFL

 

[lasthope]

Look into RU58841 if you haven't already:

RU doesn't cause systemic shutdown of your bodies DHT and keeps the blocking of DHT strictly localized to where you apply it (your scalp), it leaves your body’s DHT levels COMPLETELY IN TACT.

This means that you still get all the benefits of DHT circulating in your body like muscle hardness, increased muscularity and fat loss, zero libido or erection issues, etc. while preventing hair loss just as effectively, if not more so.

The way Finasteride works is by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase.
Finasteride more or less creates a blockade whereby testosterone can't be 5-alpha reduced into DHT as efficiently as it normally would.

(Dutasteride inhibits 5-alpha reductase significantly more, and can crush systemic DHT levels as much as 90-99%.)

Finasteride or Dutasteride could both cause a hormonal sh*t storm where any of the following
occurrences could cause and/or exacerbate a state of estrogen dominance in the body:

• Your androgen load drops significantly via the decrease in DHT
• The decrease in DHT causes SHBG to bind up more testosterone in the body
• The subsequent increase in estrogen via the increase in testosterone causes SHBG to rise even more, consequently binding up even more testosterone

Increased SHBG will bind up even more of your testosterone, preventing it from being bioavailable.

SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) is a protein made by your liver.
It binds tightly to 3 sex hormones found in both men and women.
These hormones are estrogen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and testosterone. SHBG carries these 3 hormones throughout your blood.

If too much of your testosterone is bound up by SHBG, you could have low testosterone symptoms (fatigue, low libido, ED, etc.),
and the simultaneous spike in estrogen could result in a state of estrogen dominance where you become prone to gynecomastia and a myriad of other estrogenic side effects.

Have you used it personally? I want to but theres no long term studies

 

[kubo]

No, I use generic 5% minoxidil and thankfully that's all I need, but from what I've read RU looks a lot more appealing compared to Fin and Dut.

It wasn't originally intended for hair-loss "The researchers concluded that RU58841 might be useful for the topical treatment of androgen-dependent skin disorders, such as acne and alopecia", you can find studies on it dating back to the 90s pertaining to hair regrowth however. So it has been around for several decades but as it's relatively unknown, not FDA approved, and not available as a commercial product (but not illegal to buy technically) it's ultimately a buyer beware situation, although personally if minox stops working I'll be moving onto RU myself.

I am very fine with no libido, because i am a incel and cant have sex with attractive girls anyway. I want to keep my hair to still be considered a normal human by other people.

Gonna start using fin soon probably
