Regular Member hockeyman Posted December 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 21, 2023 I apply the xyon topical each morning after I shower and let my hair dry to the point where it is damp. The product is on my scalp until the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you staying on the topical dutasteride. No, dutasteride is working fantastic for me. I think fin goes systemic more because of the smaller molecular weight.

Do you massage it in until the gel disappears or do you leave bits of it on the scalp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Sunset Dune Posted December 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 21, 2023 Yeah that makes sense, I’m surprised Xyon hasn’t released the dutasteride minoxidil combo yet but they did with Finasteride first.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 23, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted December 23, 2023 There are different schools of thought. Dr. Munoz doesn’t believe there’s any skin aging. Im pushing 40. I don’t think I look older than my age, I’ve been on it for a while. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

I’m going to wait and use it Sunday afternoon for 4-6 hours before washing it off. Using it once a week. Just don’t want to have side effects I applied it Monday and Friday last week to start. I noticed a lingering headache on Saturday and Sunday. It wasn't intense but it was annoying to the point I had to take Advil on Sunday. Yesterday headache was pretty much gone but still felt something wasn't right if that makes sense. Today I feel fine but still have residual "off" feeling around my head like a touch of pressure. Hard to explain. I also can't say whether it's the Xyon or that my body is battling something since everyone around me is getting sick. So with that said I'm not going to say my headaches are from the Xyon. I'm going to wait until Friday this week until my next application and then see how I feel then. If the headaches do come back I'm going to stop using the product especially since I'm only using it 1-2 times a week and about 1/5th of a pump in a small area od my scalp. If that little amount is causing sides then that's a no bueno for me. Another thing to add is that I felt my orgasm last wed after my Monday application was weaker than usual. Again too soon to tell if it's related or just coincidence. Will update that as well. Before anyone mentioned it, I know it's very early to tell either of the above are related but I wanted to document it now and update later on.

Personally, if I’m fighting some sickness my orgasms aren’t as strong. Same deal with orgasm intensity and libido if I’m worried about side effects (which is ironic). Not trying to discount what you’re experiencing just trying to offer other alternatives. when I was on topical fin and got side effects, the…texture of my penis changed, it was more like I had hard flaccid, probably due to something with the prostate. Anyway, that’s another thing you can look for to see if it’s going systemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Spidey Posted December 27, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) So I think I'm going to stop using this. Too many "random" symptoms popping up since starting and to me is not worth the risk. I'm not a fan of messing with hormones in general as it is. Last night while being intimidate with my wife, I noticed some lack of sensation with my penis. I couldn't even really tell if I was fully hard or not. To add to that I had some issues being fully hard. I was still very aroused but it was odd having my penis feel a bit numb. My orgasm was stronger than what it was last when I last reported but the decreased penile sensation wasn't great. I'm also not willing to ride it out. The fact is even though it's too early to tell, imo, it does seem like this drug is going systemic even with the precautions I've taken only using it twice a week, applying it in the am, and washing it out very thoroughly later in the day. Here's a list of symptoms I've experienced since using this for the first time last Monday: - increased frequency of night time urination (weird because I know dut and fin was originally prescribed to help this symptom causer by an enlarged prostate) - weakened/inconsistent orgasm - decreased penile sensitivity - Minor erectile dysfunction (not as hard as usual) - headaches - strong morning erections every morning (not a bad thing and kind of weird considering the above) Like mentioned in my previous post, I'm not saying that all the above symptoms are 100% related to the topical but I believe the penile sensitivity is for sure related as I've never experienced this in my life. Never once have I felt my penis was partially numb and wasn't able to tell how hard I was without looking at my penis. Anyways, for those who don't get side effects that's awesome but for me even if I get one side effect that's related to my penis, it's not worth it for me. I won't mess with my hormones. I'm also well aware of placebo and/or it all being in my head but like I mentioned before, I don't dwell over possible symptoms and worry about them. I merely noticed the symptoms as they appeared.

I was going to buy this until I read your post. I have been on finasteride for 6 years and have non-existent erections unless I try really hard. I am going to quit finasteride but need a solution to prevent my hair from thinning more. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I try topical dut anyway? Started noticing thinning at 19. I can't risk losing my sexual function so young. My semen is watery and don't get morning wood anymore. This is definitely not a placebo and I am a fairly healthy young guy. Would you guys say I can try dutasteride siloxysystem gel? Edited December 28, 2023 by Hairlossingfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did you start getting the fin sides. You kept using it for 6 years even with those sides or did they recently surface? If you stuck it out for 6 years that's crazy. Honestly man hair isn't worth your sex life and other sides. Majority of people don't look bad with a shaven head. It's just a rude awakening for this first little bit. But I get how it feels like it's everything when you're younger. I men's hell, I got a ht when I was 33. I didn't mean to scare you or anyone from using topical dut, but I wanted to document my experience and my decision to stop using it.
