Hello All,
First post on this forum. There's a great amount of info here and happy I found this website.
My story is I'm 34, been on Propecia for roughly 8 years. Back when I started taking Propecia, I would say I was barely a "Norwood II" back then, and today, 8 or so years later, I'm still a Norwood II. So Propecia has done great to sustain my mostly full head of hair.
I would love to hold onto as much of my existing hair as possible.
I never did any blood work or testing before/during or currently, so I can't compare any current levels to past test results.
A month ago, I was sent my latest refill and Dr. Reddys Finasteride came instead of Propecia.
Over the past few years, I will say that I've noticed a decline in my libido. Also, it seems more increasingly now, my ability to sustain a full erection during intercourse is being affected. Wifey no likey, and obviously neither do I!
I'm not at all placing much additional blame on the Dr. Reddy's Fin, but perhaps that might be slightly increasing my sexual side effects....?
After some online research, it seems like there are a decent amount of people that are experiencing these frustrating side effects from Fin as well.
I don't really want to lose all the hair that I've sustained all these years, but it's also not worth it to me to have trouble sustaining during intercourse and lose my sex drive, just to keep all my hair.
I think I'd like to experiment with Rogaine foam, and I'm curious what other moves you experts think I should take in addition to Rogaine?
Are there any truly worthwhile supplements, shampoos or anything else that's recommended to help sustain our hair?
I'm really just looking for the best thing to do if you don't want to take Pro/Fin...?
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice fellas
