Just want to make this clear for anyone interested in OM. Unlike topical it is dosage dependent, the more you take the more minoxidil metabolite you get, because your liver has enough of the enyzme, 2ndly you will get bloating/water retention on any dosage/low/high if you have a bad diet and you eat high salt foods consistently, and drink little to no water, ALONGSIDE being overweight.
Oral Min is for people who can keep track of their salt/water intake, aswell as maintain a healthy life style, take it from someone who is on 10mg of oral minoxidil, with 0 bloat, 0 water retention, the only time I have ever encountered retention on the drug is when I pigged out and had 2 pizzas and a full night of drinking with friends, which is out of the norm for my strict gymsqe life style
bro I think most people who have 2 pizzas and a full night of drinking will have some retention lol. How your experience been with it, in terms of hair results?

You are giving advice out, but then state that you're taking double what doctors prescribe of the drug for hair loss (5mg)? This could be a factor why you have had so much body hair growth.
Yes anything more than 5mg is too much for hair loss and going into the territory of treating hypertension.

Hi, is there long term side effects from loss of libido?
I go to the gym twice a week, don't eat meat & I'm 26.
I cant say most ,who stop it returns , but at 26 you should be tripping balls and thinking of sex all the time. I would check your hormones to see how your test and estrogeon is at

I haven’t started on the topical because I’m having a child, and the transmission can occur through pillows since it’s a topical. DHT is essential in the development of a male fetus. Dr. Hasson advised against it. As soon as my baby is born, I’m gonna document my journey here and on YouTube, as well as check my serum DHT before and after.
You’re free to believe whatever you want. People recommend surgeons all the time without going to them, the fact that I haven’t used the product yet, doesn’t mean I haven’t done my research. I’m not trying to push for anything. Do your own research.
I’ve always maintained taking drugs is a personal choice. For me, personally, I see no reason to risk the oral when topical is as effective, possibly more effective. This is my personal opinion, and everyone is free to agree or disagree.
Fair enough I wasn’t privy to that info so that’s understandable and congrats on the baby. Out of curiosity have you tried oral minoxidil as I had a consultation with bisanga and he is going to prescribe it to me.

It still *works* down there, but I just have no interest.
As of right now it doesn't really bother me. But if I want change, people recommend taking it every other day rather than every day.No interest. You need to stop the drug . Check you hormones asap , I’m all for the drug but if your getting these effects I would get hormonal markers done . Also do you workout as in resistance training and healthy diet and how old are you

Have you tried topical, Melvin? Or any intention to?
Yeh lol he always talking about xyon being great and using topical , but doesn’t even use it himself . I’m sure he could of started xyon now as others have been on it for a while . You can’t really justify something if you personally can’t account for it given the limited information we have on topical

You can keep telling yourself that but it doesn't make it true. I'm not saying you are going to castrate yourself, but lowering DHT is not ideal. I know you already know this because you've said as much, and have found keeping your hair more important. That's fine and I respect your bodily autonomy to do as you wish.

Yeh I know that , I don’t want to reduce dht but I don’t get sexual side effects so I’m fine , and get bloodwork . What do you know about it’s effects on neurosteroids, that’s something that isn’t clear in the research

Says the guy lowering one of the main hormones that LITERALLY makes you a man....

Insecurity breeds negativity. Most people that made negative remarks about my hair loss have serious issues that they themselves need to work on.
I also had comments about my hair loss but was fortunate it was not in a work place. I've had it in various other situations where its also inappropriate although making fun of someone's hair loss shouldn't be acceptable to begin with.
People like to think that times are changing and people don't care about your looks, but from my experience a large portion of people that I interacted with are shallow and they treated me different when I started to lose my hair. Maybe its my age demographic.
Social media has corrupted people with regards to appearance in particular women. Now a days it’s rare to find a woman that is natural looking , they’re all looking like walking filters , up to their eyes with fillers and Botox .

Correct
well maybe you should consider topical dutasteride, only requires once-a-week application initially and the systemic absorption is supposed to be very low. I'm considering using dr mwamba's one as a lot of people on this forum have had success with it and reported a minimum decrease in their serum DHT.

Years ago a female co-worker was constantly making fun of my hair loss. One day after weeks of hair loss insults I insulted her back making fun of her weight. Needless to say it did not go over well. She immediately reported me to supervisors. I spent the next 2 weeks going to meeting and signing write ups. Anyone else have similar experience at work?
She’s basically chucking her insecurities on to you . Common thing people with insecurities do is they insult other people to try and make themselves feel better about themselves . How sad , next time drop a weight watchers leaflet on her desk

totally baloneey is to be super anixious and worried about side effects but at the same time to expect to get automatically good result when you are norwood 5 and more...good norwood 5 results exist but its far from the norm, the chances of having a unsatisfying hairtransplant result at that norwood stage are definitely higher then the chances of getting pfs etc.
totally distorted view of risks imho. if you are very worried about things going wrong you should stay away from finasteride but also definitely stay away from hairtransplants (if you are destinied to end at norwood 5 and over)...shaving or hairpieces are totally safe
People don’t factor in the variables, the biggest one is that a hair transplant Turning out well is far from certain even from the best as we’ve seen on this forum. So you might not even have enough grafts to repair or even fill the spots if it doesn’t work out well in the first place . Why retaining as much native hair as possible is essential to minimise the grafts you need which is finite . Also you cannot predict hair loss , you might have gradual then suddenly it just becomes aggressive . Being on meds while I don’t want to , I have to if want to retain a good set of hair . I’m even going to jump on oral minxodil because studies have show it to be effective as 1mg fin , so hoping combining the two will even help potential safeguard or even regrow more hair

Read this out loud to yourself. "A lot of them are not related to finasteride, just low DHT!!!". What is it that you think Fin.Dut is doing? Also just because a study looks at DHT in conjunction with T doesn't mean it's not also looking at DHT....
Here are some more for you:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5085223/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15472231/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9665502/
You alright man, you seem a bit unhinged reposting these studies once again . Yeh but finasteride increases testosterone contradicting these studies that blame low t and low dht , making your reasoning obsolete . And btw I had a look at this Kevin Mann you talked about and he’s right tbh if men took this drug earlier and not been scared like myself , we wouldn’t even be on this forum likely . You need to curb your fetish with dht , it’s getting weird now .

You're missing the point. DHT is a key hormone. Intentionally reducing it is not a good idea.
Now loo,k it's your life do what you want with it. If you decide the hair is more important that's fine. But reducing DHT in and of itself is a bad idea whether or not you experience noticeable sides.
You said you were going to stop responding to me lol , yet your always responding . Yeh Vast majority of men take fin and function fine lol, Donald trump took it for decades and ended up the president of the USA lool

Yes, dud studies.... Yes, warning for posting peer review studies. You sound unhinged mate.
If I posted doubles it's only because it gets tiring copy and pasting links so many times. Like I said I have another 10-20 I could post if you'd like?
Please also explain how they are "duds"
Because a lot of them are not related to finasteride but the effects of low dht and testosterone.

^ There’s debate about donor thinning, buts it’s pretty established that it’s significantly more DHT resistant than the rest of the scalp. Point two is that even with drugs, nothing blocks DHT 100%, so you’re going to thin in the donor over time (if the donor thins). Many ethical doctors don’t require finasteride to operate, which is quite telling.
Either way, by the time the donor thins — with or without medication — you’re likely to be quite old. For a clear example, even Norwood 6 relatives in their 80s-90s had a robust donors and many balding actors at high Norwood have their donor in-tact.
I’d say it’s not worth being on a lifelong drug to possibly preserve a few donor hairs, which (if they do indeed thin) tends to occur at a very late age, but if you think it is, more power to you.
Yeh again your not addressing keeping as much native density as possible which is imperative to have a better looking transplant . No one wants to have a transplant a on bald head , that will require like 6k grafts minimum if that , and most people just about have that as a donor. By keeping as much native hair your adding to the density while at the same time reducing grafts needed ,so they can be banked for future loss. And yes as you said donor is dht resistant but not dht proof it’s why I see alot of people ,not all all with thin looking sides and napes in particular . Unless your a norwood 3 or less after I say 40 you might get away with it , otherwise you need to get on meds, or like gatbsy get hair taken from places I never knew was possible
