HELP PLZ - Minoxidil - Balding worse after stopping

[Jerzy Bondov]

I started using minoxidil in July 2017 to gain back hairs in the front after slowly balding after high school. I stopped after 8 months on March 11, 2018 after not getting the results I wanted. I didn’t have looksmaxxing knowledge back then just some softmaxxing so I was stupid. Fast forward to mid 2018 and I notice my hair getting thinner all over the top of my head. I look back and it didn’t look that bad. Thankfully it hasn’t gotten worse since late 2018. Please help. I still have the same hairline just thinner hairs. I’m looking into finasterise but I don’t have insurance, don’t have a payment method besides PayPal and I’m worried about side effects.

Should I get back on minoxidil?

Can I get back to at least the way my hair was back then?

TLDR:
Used minox, stopped, balding got worse. Can I get my hair back to at least how it was back then?
Some info:
-Started using - July 5 2017
-Stopped using - March 11 2018
-Mid 20’s now
-Balding has not gotten worse since late 2018

Are you on fin and minox?
because if not that's totally expectable

I’m looking into finasterise but I don’t have insurance

Insurance doesn't cover finasteride anyways.

Get the 5MG version and quarter it; 1.25mg/day. Its what I do and I can cover 1 year with ~60CAD.

I was only on minox for 8 months years ago. Not currently on anything

Are there any sites besides alldaychemist? I only have paypal

 

[ScramFranklin]

you can get finasteride from Keeps for Forhims.

You don't have a debit or credit card? idk if they take paypal.

 

[Stare]

The hair you gain with minox doesn't last forever, it's expected to lose it after quiting it.

Yeah, use alldaychemist if your country has it.

Be a bald boy. Embrace it.

If you want to keep the hair that you have, hop on fin asap. Fighting the root cause of your hairloss, which is DHT, is the first priority.

It’s not dht it’s all androgens...even with fin it can continue

 

[Alexanderr]

Should’ve kept going with minoxidil for at least 2 years (or more), especially since you were already going for 8 months anyway.

I saw your name under this title on the homepage and for one glorious moment I thought you were balding severely from lack of minoxidil. A brief moment of ecstasy. Gone.

2 options:

1. finasteride/ru
2. going bald

 

[SOS-Sonic]

I

What website do you use to buy your finasteride in canada?

Shouldve hopped on fina ages ago

Side Effects of fin - your dick might stop working for a bit
Side Effects of balding - your dick will still work but you'll never get to use it because you're ugly

If you're worried that topical min isnt working as much as you'd like just take oral

It’s not dht it’s all androgens...even with fin it can continue

and this, might need to take topical anti androgen like RU or CB when it comes out

 

[Jerzy Bondov]

Yeah, use alldaychemist if your country has it.

Have you noticed any side effects from finasteride personally?

 

[Jerzy Bondov]

or CB when it comes out

Any more info on cb? i havent heard of that

 

[.👽.]

Well minox doesnt stop hairloss it just stimulate growth and the new hair isnt permanent. So you were/are still balding and lost your new hair thats why you Think you are balding worse. But you arent

 

[SOS-Sonic]

Have you noticed any side effects from finasteride personally?

Yes, hair regrowth.

 

[GigaRC]

Yes, hair regrowth.

I am literally diffuse thinning rn and plan to hop onto fin. Did you experience any temporary shedding when you started? I read that's also a common side effect.

 

[SOS-Sonic]

You are wise my friend.

Did you experience any temporary shedding when you started? I read that's also a common side effect.

Yup, and most people do. It is a sign that the new hair is "pushing" the miniaturized hair out and replacing them. The degree of shedding and regrowth will vary from person to person, but the shedding shouldn't last longer than a few months.

 

[sorrowfulsad]

your hair probably fell out due to natural causes

You need to get on minox and fin ASAP

Forget about getting it from a doctor or insurance. I use inhousepharmacy.
