Finasteride is a miracle drug. Why aren't you on it?

what happens when you get off it after 20 years? instant baldness?

>>76797218
yeah lol that shit starts falling out fast

>>76797218
I was on it for 5 years, quit 2 years ago, and my hairline is the same as when I quit. It seems to have permanent effects.

>>76797213 (OP)
Cuz I did reverse network pharmacology on different downstream and upstream hair cycle modulation targets like CXCL12, DKK-1, TGF-Beta, Osteopontin-CD44 and other deranged China proteins too nerdy for the tranny finfluencers to look up, kek.

Bro still has a giant forehead, grim

>>76797218
Supposedly it rapidly progresses to where you "should be" in terms of hair loss, but some people will report no losses, however that could simply mean that person's hair loss would never have gotten that bad anyway and they hopped on fin for no reason

Kekke spam.

Reminder he is a 38 year old troon who doesn't go outside.

Just do gene editing? Balding is genetic

>>76797218
Seems to be really individual, for some people the balding starts progressing rapidly for others the balding process starts all over again but especially if you're one of those guys that had the luck of still having a lot of velus hairs that weren't covered by scar tissue when you started it'll give the impression of slow balding.

>>76797213 (OP)
why he look likes a faggot?? like something in his face is really looking feminine

>>76797213 (OP)
>Why aren't you on it?
because I am not a tranny

>>76797218
yes
>going bald at 21
vs
>going bald in your 30s
has a HUGE difference
balding as a young dude is social suicide, i would know because it happened to me.

>>76797564
Same. Was a fat kid in high school, lost 70 lbs during track when I was 14-15 years old. Started going bald at 16. Hopped on minoxidil topical and kept my hair till 21, got over the pseudo dandruff it gave me and my hair fell out hard so I went bald at 22. Took me a couple years to adjust but by 25 I had gotten the confidence to start regularly slaying whores again. Does make me laugh when I see my pals losing their shit over going bald in the 30s like "damn bro I'd fucking kill myself if i went bald" as I stare them dead in the eyes, dome shining in the bright california sun.

The progestogenic effects can turn you into a tranny btw

Rather have a working penis than hair dawg

>>76797598
fuck sorry man, balding at 16 is gnarly.
i'm 22 now and got an obvious bald spot and receding hairline, i feel so old because of it. i used to have long hair so it's brutal seeing it taken from me like this.
i hope this finasteride stuff works. i just started it this week. i'll give it a year and if there's no improvement then i guess i'll just have to accept being bald. shit hurts.

>>76797213 (OP)
Tried it for 6 months
Pebis was a completely unfeeling lump of flesh
Got off it, took 3 years to start getting full hard one again

I shave my head every 4-7 days. No biggie. I can't believe I let that shit run my life for half a decade. Trust me, you'll live without hair. You might not if you can't let it go.

>>76797213 (OP)
Because the way to self fulfillment is embracing what i have been dealt instead of trying to chemically castrate myself for a 1% chance of improvement. Once you accept it and move on with your life you will get more confident and a bald head wont matter anymore, other people around you will also feel your aura and not care about what genetic lottery you rolled.

been on fin for a year, shit works but I may have to upgrade to dut when I start juicing

>>76797598
>>76798198
"Self-acceptance" only works if your face shape actually looks good bald. For a lot of people it just doesn't.
>>76797213 (OP)
Although ironically I think this guy would look WAY better bald. His current high-hairline coiffe makes him look like a massive faggeut.

>prescription drug

Isn't it gonna be expensive? I'd like it but I ain't working for it.

>>76797218
20 years starting that young is a lot, unless he was properly guided.
I've been on FIN(*) since 2011 (33yo at that time); and stopping every 5 years for a semester. My test has been checked every time I've stopped. My average is 720 ng/dL.
I think for a 47yo dude that has been swallowing them pills is more than fine.
One thing I'm sure: my prostate won't give any trouble.

(*)currently on dutasteride

My dad always had terrible hair and lost it entirely in his late 30's, my brother got comments from my parents knowing it was coming in high school. I on the other hand took after my mum, and always had hair so thick my barber would almost charge me twice. Then and totally conjecture, but after covid I started thinning in the middle of my hairline. Now im 31 and writings on the wall, cause the hair is so thick, I can cover all the spots with other hair, but then I worry about getting it wet or a stiff breeze. The moment I get health insurance ill hope on Fin and Min, I have testosterone problems that usually put me between 1900 -2100 ngl, so id be happy to be less horny and rageful all the time. Failing that ill fly to fucking turkey i dont give a fuck. Some people can pull off that look, and my dad always said it ages you rapidly once it happens then you stop aging after that, but frankly im aging extremely well compared to my friends and family, and I've always kinda been a babe, so this is the male equivalent of menopause for a hot party girl, and I wont be standing for it.

I had thick hair until my mid 30's then started to get diffuse thinning. Was in semi-denial about it for years and messed around with ketaconazole shampoo before finally accepting it needed more severe action and got on finasteride, did that for a year then switched to dutasteride which had been more effective. No side effects I can perceive, still getting morning wood and fucking or jacking off at least twice a day. In my 40's now.

I may be a manlet, but I'm not a baldlet

>>76797213 (OP)
it never fails to surprise me that some people don't notice their dicks not working on fin, it cannot be that it doesn't affect some people, it's impossible that it doesn't, it's the sheer amount of fags that never had a functioning dick and actual normal virility, which is why they don't notice the difference.
sad.

>>76798794
>it cannot be that it doesn't affect some people, it's impossible that it doesn't
It doesn't affect anyone. There's no physical reason for it to do so. It's purely nocebo effect.

>>76798185
>took 3 years to start getting full hard one again

Have you fully recovered now?

>>76797227
why did you quit?

>>76797213 (OP)
>Why aren't you on it?
Because I'm not a balding genetic dead end, simple. And even if I were, I'd grow it out and fully embrace it.

>>76799021

Finasteride is mad skecth. I know athletes refuse to use it in fear it may affect their athleticism.

He has neither an angular jaw nor a full beard, he has feminine coloring and his eyebrows are thin. None of those have anything to do with finasteride (which he'd look a lot worse without)

I got to Norwood 2 after puberty, and it hasn't budged since. Every single male relative I have has kept their hairline but some did experience slow diffuse thinning after 30.
Is din/dut required to prevent that or can shit like saw palmetto be sufficient?

>>76798833
No I am gay now

>>76799004
Because it gave me symptoms like lower libido, weaker erections, lack of morning wood, watery semen and lower ejeculate volume. After 2 years I have improved but I am still not back to 100%.

>>76797213 (OP)

does he really think he has that?

Just take chlorine dioxide. No trooning.

>>76798198
Finasteride is not birth control, there's a bunch of retards that got bitches pregnant thinking finasteride was going to kill their sperm or some other bullshit

>>76798275
Finasteride is incredibly cheap and you can get an internet doctor to give you a recurring prescription

>>76799021
If I ever hop off fin I'll accept the waingro, but for now I'll enjoy my tasteful nw1.5 tall forehead with baby hairs

>>76797213 (OP)
I've been taking finasteride for a few years and haven't really noticed any hair gains. I think my hair loss slowed down/stopped, but I haven't gained any of it back. I have minoxidil foam but I am terrible with remembering to apply it.

yes there are potent topical anti-androgens with many diverse mechanisms of action in that stack, and no the androgen receptor is not the be-all-end-all of hair regrowth and there are dozens of other mechanisms of action, kek.

>>76799725
Saw palmetto can slow it down a lil bit but your hair will still fall off eventually, meanwhile fin and dut can outright regrow your hair given enough time and how many follicles not covered by scar tissue you still have

>>76800649
Do you just put all this shit in a blender and drink it or rub it on your scalp or what?

>>76800651
>not covered by scar tissue
People still have scar tissue skill issues in 2025?

>protip: even freakin' valproate dun Yamanak dat shit away, let alone several things in >>76800649 or picrel

>>76800656

Obvious answer is obvious, kek.

>>76800649
I have a theory this guy is spamming this in every hair related thread as a form of viral marketing for his upcoming hair supplement(marketed primarilly on twitter of course) but just can't prove it

>>76800670
NGL even without any oxidizers it mogs fin/min so hard I should probably sell serum bottles.

But the oxidizers are not stable in solution, so they are a hard no pre-mixed.

>>76800649
oh yeah lemme just spend 500 a month on my hair routine

>>76800724
You can probably get closer to a year's supply of all that shit for $500. It still beats flying to Turkey, kek.

>>76800734
do you actually just mix all of those and smear them over your hair?

>>76799725

finasteride and dutasteride are formulated to only lower the one androgen that attacks your hair. Saw palmetto is a substance found in nature that will have broader anti-androgen effects and is therefore riskier IMO

>>76800724
>>76800734

you can get a year's supply for less than $100

>>76800750
Except the oxidizers, pretty much. Oxidizers don't tend play well with other chemicals and go on with goggles a couple minutes before showering.

>>76797218
I did it for a year and after coming off it was 20% of gains gone after month 1 and by 3-4 all hair gains had shed.

>>76800797
which of those are "oxidizers"?

>>76800649
boil this down to like 10 ingredients that i can simply smear on my scalp without any issues like smell, greasy hair etc etc.

>>76800781
Your opinion is wrong, saw palmetto is a fruit.

>>76800649
I take alot of these orally, you think it would work that way?

>>76799945
This.
So many retards want to talk about Fin like it's the greatest new thing, but none want to talk about the sides.
baka

Caring about going bald ever is beta shit
Go spend your time and effort on something that actually matters

>>76798826

lmao?
rofl mayhaps?

This guy admits that he had reduced sexual desire on fin. He did an experiment where he went off fin for a while to observe his libido changes.

> what happens when you get off it after 20 years? instant baldness?

It blocks DHT, which declines with age. If you are over 40 your DHT levels are probably much lower than at your peak. So no, not instant baldness; at worst it comes back slowly and at best it stays the same. Unless you are taking some test boost, yeah then you will go bald. Reason for why you lose hair follicles around in your 20/30s is because you still got a lot of test, which results in a lot of DHT.

>>76797598
This trend if men starting to go bald under 25 is not normal. I really doubt it's genetic. I know chronic stress cause higher cholesterol which might accelerate the DHT thing, but still age of 16!?

>>76797621
It's very rare that it induces the phenomenon of making test. becoming estrogen and baldness is from excessive DHT.

>>76803204
>This trend
it's most likely just that now people can document it widely
balding in your teens is still rare but when going to baldie spaces you'll see lots of them and think every guy is balding in their teens
