Finasteride update

[Deleted member 2587]

I’ve been taking finasteride once daily for 2 weeks now. Here are the side effects I got:

Clearer skin/no more acne
Higher libido, I jack off like 4 times holy shit
Obviously less hair fall/hair looks thicker
That’s the only thing I’ve noticed tbh cum still looks thick asf

I did some research and apparently it’s happened to a lot of people

This happens because your T will raise up to 10%. I also had higher libido after 1/2 Weeks fin. Then it decreased again.

been on it for a few months now, I havent noticed any sides whatsoever, hair shedding stopped, but no regrowth at the temples with the exception of some minor hairs at the borders, I might add dutasteride just to see if I could regrow some more

Rn I have a Nw 0.5 full head of hair. I honestly am taking finasteride to prevent any further loss. But tbh idk why people make finasteride such a big deal lol. People need to realize that antidepressants and Accutane are way worse than finasteride

I have a theory some nasty trolls made up bunch of horror stories on various forums just to make people not take finasteride and go bald as a result.

But yeah, drinking cocacola daily is more harmful for your health than taking finasteride daily, literally

I have another theory. I feel like those trolls actually do take finasteride but they want to scare people from taking it so they can have full heads of While everyone else is too scared to take it LMAO

10% isn't much to notice much difference in libido. Also if estrogen rise like 50% and testt 10% it's a thin comfort.

Finasteride raises estrogen by like 10-15% which isn’t much. You got guys on full hormonal treatment (mtf) and they look the same after years jfl

Shit, I definitely got higher libido but man I got Watery semen, I hope that goes away after some time ngl. I've heard that Watery semen went away for some dude after about 2 weeks.

I mean watery semen is a plus tbh it makes your load bigger doesn’t it? Thick sperm is lowkey trash cause whenever I drink a lot of water i shoot my cum like crazy

My load is the same volume it's just that it's Watery. My load is big anyways if I haven't released in 24+ hours so I don't care about that, but thicker looks more healthy and I think girls like it better that way too.

 

[Vanillestorms]

Had no side effects, on it for around 1/2 year

 

[Deleted member 773]

Am I the only one that gets less libido when high T? Like when I'm high T my dick is shrivelled up and I don't even think about women, just beating up people

In my experience (been on it for a year),

Nearly all side effects experienced are subtle enough to not get reported and aren't really noticeable unless you are very familiar with how your body changes when your testosterone and estrogen levels are modified.

In the first 2 weeks I was on it, the side effects were noticeable (slight skin rash on my neck, my erections were slightly weaker even though my sex drive increased, brain fog and water retention).

I experienced these symptoms in the past from periods of raising my testosterone (raising test will raise estrogen as well especially if you are blocking DHT) and got rid of them by having a diet filled with foods and sometimes supplements that blocked estrogen production. I started doing the same when I noticed the finasteride symptoms and all of my symptoms went away completely.

Even if you do feel symptoms, the root of it is more caused by levels of high estrogen rather than a lack of DHT and lowering these levels will take care of the big bulk of it. Even if you believe you are experiencing no symptoms (the symptoms are usually subtle enough for you to brush it off), lowering your estrogen levels that are raised when you start blocking DHT will make you feel A LOT better.

How do u lower estrogen levels?

 

[TylerDurden]

How do u lower estrogen levels?

I use 100% pomegranate juice or cabbage; there are supplements/drugs that are stronger, but I do not advise it because you have less control over how much estrogen is blocked (You DO NOT want to bring them down too low or you will start experiencing depression, weak joints, etc.). About 1 cup of 100% pomegranate juice normalizes my estrogen levels on days that I take finasteride.

With those foods, you can experiment to see how much consumed brings your estrogen levels to a level you find ideal and not risk blocking too much or too little.

Do you not take fin everyday?

 

[TylerDurden]

Do you not take fin everyday?

I take it 5 days a week (2 days on, 1 day off)

I like giving my body a break from the hormonal changes that occur on finasteride and what I consume to normalize my estrogen levels on the days I take it.

This works for me and I do not lose gains skipping 2 days a week, but everyone is different and you will eventually find what works best for you.

I’m prob gonna do that too. Tbh suppressing my dht every single day isn’t a good idea even tho I have zero sides. I’ll start doing 2 days on and one day off. I’ll also pick up some pomegranate juice tomorrow. Thanks
