People say that it create problems in only 10% of the men that decide to take it but judging by the shit I’ve heard on the internet I’d say that percentage has to be at least double that. I’d love to keep my hair but fin just sounds to risky.

been ~0.5mg a day for 4ish months, the first 2 months my libido sank pretty bad, after that it's been on the rise and as of right now i'd say it's pretty much what i was before starting, I decided to wait it out because i've heard people stop getting sides after taking it for a while and i guess it worked out. i have pretty good regrowth on my hairline too so that's cool, it's slow though but it's deff regrowth, good luck

I won't take it because I'm already fucked up enough. Already have depression and had hormone problems. With my luck fin would 100% fuck me up bad. It seems like it's worth a try for people who got their health and life under control. If you go to r/tressless you will see a huge amount of anxiety, people constantly worrying about their dick and libido and whatnot. Rather lose my hair than my dick.

Was thinking this over recently and did a little of my own research - I was told if you use the shampoo and don't take the pills you're less likely to have dick problems. I also heard something about zinc supplements helping to offset the effects.

Former fin user here, I would strongly recommend you do not take it under any circumstances. I have Post Finasteride Syndrome from it which is basically a collection of sides you develop from fin that do not cease after quitting. I have been off fin for 5 years now yet have the same sides I had whilst on the drug. Research into PFS is slow and has low funding but so far they've demonstrated epigenetic damage, neurosteroid deficiencies and endocrine disruption - no cure, no treatment available.

It really depends on how aggressive your hair loss is, some guys get to norwood 2 and pretty much completely stop balding from there so they'll only need 1 hair transplant. Other guys will continue to recede further and even with topical treatments may need one or two more hair transplants. If you're smart and get a good doctor who does the transplant at your natural hairline you should have enough donor supply left regardless to not have to worry about it. All that being said we will probably have more or less something close to a cure within the next 15-20 years and in between then and now there will probably emerge even more effective topical treatments, dht blockers with less side effects etc. that emerge on the market so the future has still never been brighter for guys wanting to combat hair loss.

wouldn't call a receding hairline sexy though there is something to be said about mature hairlines like Brad Pitt, George Clooney. A receding hairline in your 30s is definitely more acceptable in terms of attracting the opposite sex, if you're 35 and you have a receding hairline you're not going to find many complaints from women your age since it's pretty much expected but if you're into younger women you're pretty screwed.
