>>81900014 (OP)>Anybody here use finasteride?Ye. For almost 2 years now.
>How good is it?It definitley does its job. No further hairloss since I started taking it - I've had some minor regrowth too but that's probably down the minoxidil which I also take. Also pretty sure it's either slowed or slightly reversed ageing in my face and reduced greasiness on my hair/face which is nice - there are some studies that suggest these can be side effects and from personal experience I believe it.
The sexual side-effects are real though. Boners/libido/cum-volume are probably at about 80% of what they were before but that's still workable and fixable to baseline or better by taking the right supplements like zinc. I think this is probably what most dudes experience on the drug - SOME sexual side effects, but not enough to matter all that much or outweigh the benefits of keeping hair.
>I want to try other things before a hair transplantYou'll still need to take finasteride if you have a hair transplant, otherwise the rest of your MPB-susceptable hair will still fall out eventually. Just about any hair-transplant surgeon will tell you this.
