I just bought Minoxidil for the first time in the form of a product named Lipogaine

I WANTED Finasteride but here in USA I gotta pay like 300$ just to walk in the door of a doctor's office so I haven't been able to get a prescription

I've watched tons of youtube videos of before and after and they seem legit to me.

I chose to go bald rather than even the slight possibility of losing my sex drive permanently.

This guy sure got good results:

But is this video legit? He may have had other things done

Been on it for 6 years, try to get Proscar 5mg cut it up, cost me like 20 bucks a year to have perfect hair, balls ached for luke a month but besides that no sides, i do up the dosage when I cycle gear though to give further protection to my hair

>>36250892
My Brother started that shit around 26 when he started losing hair and can't dealt with it.
Now he is 37 and almost sterile cause of this shit.

don't take this

>>36251195
there is no way blocking dht will cause you to become sterile

Been on 0.5mg daily for 18 months.

No more hair loss and no sides. Wish I started sooner.

Blocking DHT isn't the only thing it does. Like all drugs it has a myriad of effects on the human body, including many that aren't known.

But has their been hair REGROWTH? The advertisements always show pictures of pretty nice hair regrowth. Is it actually true in most cases?

>>36251298
>>36250892
ive been on it for 8 years now. no sexual side effects of any kind. hair stopped falling out and had regrowth as well - i was lucky enough to start taking it when i noticed tons of hair was falling out in the shower and i was noticeably thinning. the only side effect ive had, and my doctor says this isnt because of finasteride but im certain it is, is that my body hair has thinned out dramatically. i used to have a hella hairy back but now im pretty much bald back there. can still grow a beard, though.

get propecia and cut it into 5 pieces, its cheaper. dont use generic finasteride, apparently its not as effective.

>>36251405
>dont use generic finasteride, apparently its not as effective.

But it's required by law to be identical to propecia.

Also by cutting propecia into 5 pieces, you'd be taking a fifth of the dose. You probably meant to say Proscar, which comes in 5mg tablets. This is just a cost saving exercise.

>>36251439
i did mean to say proscar, good catch anon. my doc telling me to use name brand is most likely because hes shilling for the company, but im scared to switch to generic in case hes right.

also, i live in canada so its only a difference of like $2 a month.

I had to quit it
I had this weird side effect that made my sweat smell awfully
It was seriously affecting me, I couldn't stand to be "that guy"
Other than that no sexual related side effects, and hair was responding positively, it looked like new hair were growing
It sucks but I chose the lesser evil

>>36251111
>I haven't been able to get a prescription
Have you investigated the shady online doctor route?

>>36251195
Yeh proof before anyone should believe this.

Started Propecia at 19 and am currently 29. Slight decrease in testosterone levels and sex drive (expected), but still get raging hard boners in the morning and no problems in bed.

If you take it and everything is still in working order then keep on it as long as you still have your hair or until you get confident going bald.

Beware Propecia shills like this fag here.

This is why I chose not to go with finasteride. What's the fucking point of having nice hair if your dick doesn't function?

So I went with minox and nizoral. Despite reading that minox rarely worked on the temples, which is the only place I'm balding.

My fucking face when not only did the minox stop hair at the temples from falling out, but I got a ton of regrowth.

I've taken it for about a year, it works, albeit slowly. Got mine with a prescription, a product called Proscare, 5mg tablets that I divide into 4.
I should have started the second I noticed my temples receding.

>>36252075
Oh, and I've been on minox/nizoral for about 13-14 months now. Started seeing serious regrowth about 5-6 months in.

>>36250892
Just start saving that money for a hair implant senpai.

>>36252075
because you're not gonna get laid anyway when you're bald

seriously, the side effects of fin get strongly exaggerated because the target audience of fin are middle aged men, and when they lose their sex drive because they're getting old they're blaming it on fin
>i just turned 40 and my sex drive is going down? could it be because im getting old or because of the fin ive been taking for the past 10 years without side?? must be the fin!
you can see the same shit with minox and people claiming it makes your face age
>hurr ive been on minox for 10 years and my face aged during that time that means minox is bad for you durr
pretty much every male moviestar is on fin. it's a safe as it can be

That sure was an edgy post, but fortunately I can read, although it is clear that you choose not to. Your link tells us that DHT can be used to combat the super scary old man disease of enlarged prostate. But actually that's exactly what Fin/Proscar are used for, and studies have shown that the impact of fin on sex drive is barely statistically significant from placebo (self-rated drop in sex drive was 1 point out of ten for the first six months of Fin, and so was the placebo, which tells us that there is a very significant psychological factor which explains the drop in sex drive. Not only this, but the psychological effect would be pronounced for the Fin group because once they know they're not in the placebo group when they see their hair not falling out, or their need to go for a pee pee decrease, they will experience demand characteristic bias).

Also everybody knows that a few guys will get bitch tits but this is mostly a risk in fatties who have excessively high estrogen, so would need the DHT.

But don't let the millions of guys on Finasteride, a 25 year old drug, fool you! You've got the super secret insider information!

say w/e you want but even the people that say they had no side effects will notice their semen being a bit more watery and some loss or total loss of morning woods do occur to a LOT of pepole, me included , i wont lie it was working wonders on my hair seriously i had no reason to stop using it other than the ed that it caused me(became worse and worse from the second year to the third year of usage), lucky for me i was 100% fine after about a year off it, i do tend to think about taking it again from time to time at a low dosage , but i just cant shake off the memory of bearly being able to fuck my gf while on it..

been on finasteride for 8 years, and my hair ceased to fall, and i know i should be bald by now (dad is bald af).

The con i think is decrease in sex drive altought i still get hard boners, maybe it's my age dunno, started at 22 now im 30.

I aint touching none of this shit. When the time comes buzzcut or hair transplant, this shit be scary

>>36250892
I'm 21 and bald patch + diffuse thinning got me really scared

so now i'm on finasteride and plan to be until i'm about 30 or something

too young to bald m8s

>>36250892
Finasteride litterally lowers the effect of testosterone in the body. So that includes sex drive, boners, muscle mass, and everything else.

>>36250892
was on it for about 3 weeks at .5mg last june, chickened out and stopped. kept panic-terbating to make sure my dick still worked. sex drive has always been low so i didn't actually even care to try Fin. After i stopped i guess i felt a euphoria for not caring, and felt everything 'came back to normal'

noticed i still felt as shit pre-fin than i did post-fin, so i decided to jump on it again. literally no difference, porn/depression have been my actual problems. When your wetdreams are of you masterbating to porn, time to admit its a problem.

and just to be thorough with my experience;

I fortunately am from canada so i've been seeing a doctor monthly (if not more) this entire time so its all been well documented. i noticed the problem when me and my doctor ruled out test defincency for the 4th time in like 2 years and i just had to come to grips with the fact im just clinically depressed, going to start treatment soon but keep chickening out. rather have a working dick and no libido than neither. (ssri's can fuck up your dick hard, alot more prominently then with fin too)

>>36251405
this "generic isn't as effective as name brand" is 100% marketing bullshit, just the pharma companies trying to shill by creating a hysteria over generics. similiar to all those "diary is bad for you" or "why weed is illegal even though its sick" video you've probably ever seen.
