Doesnt it bind to dht which would bind to your hair follicle and make it fall out so if you stop using it the dht will be able to make your hair fallout. Or is that wrong?

My doctor talked me out of taking finasteride when I still had a good head of hair and it's my biggest regret.

There is no risk in trying it, the only time the sides have a chance of staying permanent is if you ignore the sides and continue to use.

Simply drop the drug if you notice any sides, if you don't just keep using it and you can hold onto your youth.

Balding has all but destroyed my life so I strongly recommend going on fin.

(I'm only 24, my hairline is pretty much gone too)

>> No.11103996

>>11099742
Expensive hair transplants, that's it.
Regrowing a hairline while on fin or minox is incredibly rare, it's only really useful for the crown.

>>11099965
>>11101507

Any hair you held onto by using minoxidil will be gone within days if you stop using it.

Hair GAINED or held onto by finasteride might last a little longer but it'll still fall out eventually.

Both medicines are permanent and life long if you want to hold onto your hair.

However there's a good chance you won't give as much of a fuck in your thirties or forties, just don't make the same mistake I did and lose your hair while you are in your twenties.

People look at you way differently.

Also, I'm gay so it entirely changes my 'market' when it comes to dating.

You look a lot older so you generally attract different people, I imagine the same goes for women.

Also I have a noticeable scar on my forehead, a weak jaw and rather big ears so while I was obviously not very good looking before, I am not objectively ugly.

Balding is fucking awful.

Doctors are fucking stupid. They will tell you what they want for you based on their subjective opinion, unless it's about survival because if you die cuz of them they get fired.

You listened to that moron, let me guess he was bald, projected himself into you and wanted you to suffer a similar misery. What an asshole.

Anyway you learned your lesson. Trust yourself, you know what you like better that anyone else.

If you want regrowth, yeah.

Just for maintaining you really don't need both, minox is expensive here so I might just dislike it because of that.

It's also a hassle for how little you have to gain.

I'll kill myself because of this.

I'll hang on for one more year because there's some things I want to experience, like fucking Dark Souls 3 (Which should tell you something about how pathetic my life is) but I'll end myself before 2017.

I cannot cope with it and I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life which I will be because of this.

Peace.

Dude
There's so more to life, if you're gonna end everything just because your hair is falling off, nigga please.
Get a job, pay for your happiness (get dat beast pc gaming, you like DS? 100% that shit, be the best pvper, or get a fucking mmo sub and live there since you seem to like rpg's) and let that kill you.
Lowkey go to the gym and develop some love for your body and good habits, just force yourself to go everyday, and you'll end up liking yourself even if it's just a little bit. Read books and watch movies, transform yourself into one interesting as fuck motherfucker.
Having that much care about your hair just means you think too much of what other people think. Who the fuck cares if someone is bald, when he's a confident, interesting as fuck motherfucker?
Just strive yourself to be the best you can be, fuck other people, they'll come along when you love yourself so much.
You're already on /fa/, dressing good is a big step, just get yourself on /fit/ and /lit/ and you're on the path to success.

Finasteride blocks not only the DHT but all DH derivatives of other hormones, like dihydroprogesterone, which is part of nervous tissue membrane repair cycle. With it's absence or substantial lack your neurons' connections are going to slowly degrade and you'll get dementia much earlier in your life, with first effects taking place after a couple of years on finasteride.
And guess what - the effect is permanent and the damage done cannot be cured. At least at this stage of medicine progress.
It's not about losing erection. It's about losing the ability to think and seizing to be an able human being.

There is no guarantee that finasteride will cure that ESPECIALLY not in a couple of months.

Finasteride actually causing REGROWTH is very rare.

Thanks for the kind words but I'm ugly as fuck, my hairloss isn't the only issue, I wasn't exactly blessed when it comes to facial aesthetics.

The only positives about my body are that I'm atleast somewhat tall (6'2) and I can grow facial hair to make up for going bald, I guess?

I was extremely hesitant for a full year before I started taking it. Then I finally got a prescription cause trying a bunch of topicals and other shit at night was super annoying/inconvenient/messy.

I got some side effects at first (slight discomfort in left pec) but I'm pretty sure this can be common and it's just your body getting used to the drug. It went away within a few days (I stopped taking it for a couple days until it went away, then resumed).... The other "side effect" was I felt like I wasn't getting hard, but that's because it was all in my head and I was thinking too much about it since I heard all the fear mongering stories online. That went away pretty soon though.. Within about 4-5 weeks I was popping 1 pill at night and didn't even think twice about it.

>> No.11104748

Also, if you've never had any of the major side effects from prescription drugs before (or even common stuff like advil, tylenol, etc.) then you should be fine with finasteride. The people who get sides with finasteride tend to have super sensitivity to a lot of drugs.
