I stopped Finasteride after 10 years in a hope to become a normal person
un13 replied to un13's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
A quick update on my case. I read a lot of msges here that its not related etc. Well im off the fin since Apr. 2023. I dont use any medication atm and i can confirm that my overall state improved. Much less foggy , more motivated. Overall mood is better too. Additional thing is that my semen became thicker. When i was on fin it was kinda watery. Downside : i shed a bit, so my hair is not that thick anymore, but its manageable. Happy New Year everyone ! -
So long story short . Been using fin for 10 years, had no sides that can be spotted, but after years of use my life came to a point where i start to had episodes of depression, which led me to use of prozac . Another thing is a brain fog. Not sure when it started since its not just hit you at once, but over time my life become just trash : lack of energy, no motivation, i have memory problems and so on. Basically you dont live a full life, started to feel myself like im an empty shell with no soul .. So i dropped it like half a year ago. ATM its hard to say if im becoming who i was before fin , but i hope that it will happen . Just a thought for everyone who is using it , those sides didnt hit me in one day, there were creeping little by little over the years . If some of you have questions, feel free. I will do my best to answer

just a quick update on how things are. Earlier i complain that i lost a bunch of native hair and blamed myself of stoping using minoxidil, well i didnt start and hair grew back so i guess that was some seasonal shedding ? I attach close ups of my hair line. basicly thats most important thing. Transplanter hair dont shed much , atleast i do not notice. Also i have a bunch of thin native hair that grew back...

just a quick update on my situation. Like a year ago i stopped minoxidil 5% because i couldt really apply it on my skin anymore, and it was too much hustle ,since i had so much hair ( lol) . So i thought its just useless. Well guess what, i shedded like a motherfucker all year. I think it was all that tiny hair that never develop into thick one. so i lost them all. And now i go back on minoxidil. Moral of the story: Dont stop using fin and minox

So, as it said . I had a HT and a bunch of gray hair from my sides were transplanted on top, front. So what i find out is that some of them after some time from gray became black again. I cant find any explanation to that in internet, so if anaone have any ideas, please share. Thank you

i use finasteride for 5 years now. Now im thinking to get off of it and see what will happen. The reason why i want to do that is because i feel that my state of mind is too depressive, even tho nothing bad happens in my life. It could be my age ( 36) but i just tired of life and cant enjoy it anymore. Hard to tell what cause such way of feeling , Let you know later how it goes.

yes. Just wait a year and evaluate and go from there.

well lets do the math. Average density 80-120 hair per cm2. You have approximatly 100 cm2 covered with 3000 grafts thats 30 per cm2. Lets say survival rate at best :90 %, thats 27 grafts per cm2.. So for "close to normal" density you will need to do the same 3000 transplantation one more time. Thats more ot less
-
its normal. Also since you almost dont have vertex hairloss you will have a good result at the end. Plus you have a lot of grafts to go for a second operation if you would like more density. Just wait a year and go from there added: i also want to add that i think its not good to impant grafts very dense in one operation, i think it drops survival rate. If you want big density its better to split into 2-3.. etc operations.
-
i had 2 ops with this doctor. You can check my thread. Only thing that i can advise is just stop thinking about it. Its done. Just wait a year or so .
-
well, density is nothing special. I have to keep hair long on top so it will look like that. I can make only certain hairstyles so they look good on me. Dont forget that i need to cover pretty big area with only 5,5k grafts. Also i need to keep donor area atleast 2 sm long so it will look OK. I need to compromise to look normal.

im norwood 5 , i think on finasteride (1.25mg) ,minoxidil (5%) for 5 years I had 2 operations with Dr.Erkan Demirsoy in Istanbul. 1st operation (3686 follicles) in front part/ mid part/ hairline. 2nd ~1800: in vertex (~1200) and hairline (~600) i post pre 1 operation pics, and final result as of today . Later if you need i can post more pics ( post 1 operation, pre 2 operation, post 2 operation ). I had a ton of pics, just too lazy to edit them . Sry.

Wow. You had very rapid hairloss ,in 5 years to NW7 , thats quick. Why you didn't start finasteride earlier ? I see that you have a lot of body hair, and that is great because you will need all of it to fix your hairloss. Good luck to you, i was nw5 myself.

Only if you can collect good amount of body hair grafts. You can get ~4K grafts from the head max.. Rest should be body hair- 19 replies
