Finasteride for hair loss bad for the body?

[jd_uk]

fuck finasteride imo, i didn't notice the side effects the first few years, but eventually they were too obvious... i can't see how anyone wouldn't experience the side effects, i think its a marketing ploy to get people on the shit, currently using spiro cream and .5mg propecia everyday and side effects are much less...

aye? you say 'fuck finasteride' but are still using it?

I guess it's just wishful thinking on my part that i could take something to save my hair and not get any internal side effects.

I was thiking of trying 0.5mg but people said that it basically reduces dht almost the same as 1mg.

what sides did you get before and now on 0.5mg?

from what ive read about spiro, it's not proven to work.

ya i dont wanna lose my hair i got an ugly ass skull (charles barkley like) or id be more than happy to go bald, basically even on 100mg of test prop EOD with 1mg of propecia i still wasn't fuckin horny if that tells you anything, .5mg is way better ill be dropping the propecia completely soon, there's a dude on hairlosstalk com that went from propecia to nizoral, rogaine, and spiro and kept all his hair and even regrew some if i remember correctly, im goin that route...

do not use it. if you are like me, u would prefer rat poison to fina

used it on 3 different occasion (from pharmacy)

the most I could tolerate was a week. I was having tiny testicles and shooting water within a few days no exaggeration. testicles start getting fucked up from first dose and 70-year old dick comes a few days later. I went fro getting hard boners easily to not get 1 erection within a week.

A few months ago, i gave it a shot for one last try. not only all of what I wrote happened, the situation got so worse that I had to do a pregnyl therapy. and about after 2-3 months it is mostly recovered.

u might be along the lucky who doesnt get the sides but dont risk it. you can get fucked up permanently.. I am writing my experience so you read and I dont feel regretful if you insist to use and get fucked up.

having hair is no good when you dont have the real thing


also forgot to add my last dose was 0.1-0.2 mg EOD !! not 1-2mg a day or 5

If all that is true then why do some people get no side effects from finasteride which blocks most of the DHT in the body? What does it mean for an androgen to 'get to the receptor'?

Basically, do you think that DHT is essential for being a fully functioning male with a healthy sex drive and athletic performance? I want to be those things which is why i'm worried about taking finasteride.

i don't really want to try it just yet - well, i do want to save my hair - but my health is more important. Anyway - here is a guy who takes finasteride:

He's saved his hair and he's shredded. Maybe he is just a freak though.

I hear ya buddy - I have all my hair but I do seem to be shedding a bit - this is why I looked into this as much as I did.

The biggest problem I've heard from the sides is "erectile disfunction" - but there are medications to handle that.

My biggest concern would be that it reduces the effect of AAS - some people might not notice this but many do.

It's not uncommon for people to think their gear is bunk when getting on Finastride because of the loss of gains.

You have to understand - a loss of gains is not a noticeable side effect, as it's not causing any discomfort.

cheers guys.

Guess it's goodbye to my hair then! Minox doesn't work for me plus i can't handle spraying that sh*t twice a day anyway.

Just hope it doesn't fall out too quick. Short cuts from here on in...
