worried about long-term unknown side effect of Finasteride
MattyNJ1 replied to louis2008's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
Thank you for an intelligent answer.. there is much more at work here on a hormonal level that is for sure!. Id love to find a Mens hormonal specialist (somewhere) there isn't much where i live...to delve deeper into what may or may not be underlying causes of (late) hair loss (and other issues as well). Testosterone deficiency's...Hypogonadism...and Andropause (male menopause) could all be to blame...as well as thyroid function as well. Funny i was having chronic joint inflammation in my shoulders and elbows (form working out all my life i thought) all GONE now in month 3 of Fin.... If anyone knows of specialists in this field please DM me with referrals. -

You realize that its normal for libido to drop from a 23 year old to a 36 year old right??? -

worried about long-term unknown side effect of Finasteride

The studies say (sexual sides) is more prevalent in “younger users”. May i ask how old you are? Also, iam curious when you 1st started taking the drug, did you have ANY sexual side effects? was your libido, sexual function the same? I ask bc (as stated previously) ive been on Fin for only 2 +months, at only 1/2 dose, and ive actually experienced an INCREASE in libido, ejaculation strength, and volume (although slightly watery as Ive read) Oddly even a feeling of “well being” associated with the drug. Not to mention my thinning hair stopped in its tracks and grew back nearly 20% of the hair fall i was experiencing already…and seems to get thicker every day. Iam however cautiously optimistic, and have to admit the negative things im reading about this drug have me very concerned, but haven’t experienced any of these side effects Ive read about, or stated here in this thread…other than that i seem to be dreaming during sleep a bit more than usual. I guess the feeling im experiencing i would compare to maybe IF having low testosterone, and then boosting it…i feel better, and younger with more libido. Ive even noticed alot of my joint pain seems to be subsiding from working out (i had some inflammation issues in my elbows and shoulders) . Iam 49 yrs old...truthfully its making me wonder whether i had an underlying hormonal condition causing the rapid hair fall to begin with??? maybe low testosterone idk? and Fin maybe addressed a hormonal issue?. If anyone has any thoughts on this feel free to share iam very curious if that is the case with my own hair loss as ive always had thick hair and only started to shed a few years back, and then very rapidly all of the sudden. Could low test be the cause? or a hormonal issue? -

worried about long-term unknown side effect of Finasteride
MattyNJ1 replied to louis2008's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
agree on all... -
How long have you been taking Fin...I find this to be strange and considerably rare from everything ive read, and people whom ive spoken to, as well as my own experience so far. Ive had ZERO Ed, or ANY sexual dysfunction what so ever so far 3 months in...in fact my libido has improved and iam 49yrs old...to hear this from a 27yr old guy is strange. And to say Viagra had no effect is very odd i would go see a doctor asap...

MattyNJ1 replied to louis2008's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
pretty bold statement considering only 5% of people experience side effects...also i spoken people who have been on it for over a decade with zero side effects...care to elaborate? -

Could you be more specific on the side effects you experienced on Fin? Especially the "brain fog" ...ive also read about these sides, but no ones really elaborated on the exact nature of the issues....I finally started on Fin about 10weeks ago after seeing a Patient of Dr. Parsleys results on only 1/4 dose per day.....and imeadiatley my hair fall stopped dead in its tracks....then nothing but GROWTH for the past 2 months...i then started on the brand name Propecia (i heard theres a difference) at 1/2 dose per day for the past 2.5 weeks or so, and i have to say my hair has grown back at least 25% of its loss in this short amount of time...iam truly amazed...should have done this 4yrs ago. Ive experienced none of the side effects ive read about and dreaded...lack of libido, ed, sperm volume decrease, brain fog etc....in fact if anything my libdo has increased...and i just have a general more viral feeling (could be placebo) but at this rate i envision most of my hari returning to normal (unless the hammer drops) and i experience bad side effects, or maybe it just stops working? idk...I worried about the sexual sides, and brain fog ive read about but haven't noticed anything at this does Thank God bc this is proving to be a miracle for me so far...It makes me wonder if the underlying reason for my (late in life out of no where) hairloss was hormone related to begin with ?? -

No..not as of yet. But doing a HM detox every 6 months or so is never a bad idea... -

MattyNJ1 replied to MattyNJ1's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Yes exactly...heavy metals and the correlation of hair-loss... actually the lowest part of my hairline in the center is really not much further back than it ever was to begin with. If and /or when i do a HT i would think the surgeon would just fortify form that point. But fill in the sides (temple) areas when it went back about 1 1/4". I guess will see. -

MattyNJ1 replied to MattyNJ1's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Yes weve been conversing via email...and i agree which is why i originally stated maybe 1000 grafts at a time or so. Im considering Fin is there a way i can get an Rx via this forum? -

MattyNJ1 replied to MattyNJ1's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I agree. Actually the lowest part of my (windows peak) thats still there, isnt much further back than it was to begin with...the temples deff receded a bit though. I would absolutely stay with where it is, and just fill in the side temples a bit (pending dr analysis) My hairloss Dr. Recommended Viviscal, and i swear it helps. Can you recommend any other products? I think I read something on this site about shampoos or something As for Fin I read too many horror stories about it and irreversible ED or hormones, I just dont feel like i want to take that risk for the sake of vanity....YET! lol Thanks for the feedback -

Yeah this is what i meant by not sure if its good or bad....GOOD in that i would have hated to go thru this in my 20's like yourself......and bad that maybe it accelerates quicker when it starts later....I dont know, but it is what it is.... Anyone else have a similar case like mine please chime...
