Canceled Finasteride order here’s why

Was reading the forums regarding post Finasteride syndrome

Basically there are guys on TRT taking proviron
Ect

I figured if I had the issue I could off set the side effects with other androgens.

Recently Derick from MPMD I’m a hair video, said he had to take back his view from a previous video. About how you could just replace DHT with any androgen.


Holy fuk at the stories these men talk about. These guys have decade long struggles. Taking all kinds of hormones ect ect.


My hair has been thin since high school. I just have very fine hair. Slight loss on the back.

I use ketoconozole shampoo. I’m just going to use Minoxadil to offset the visual representation of hair loss for 3-5 years.

I’m 32 now and I’m in great shape I figure most women 28+ who I meet won’t care as much considering most men my age LDAR


What do you all think, i have had bouts of ED/ loss of libido low test years ago from taking pro hormones. It’s absolutely DEVastating.

If you go to a hair loss forum, you'll have trolls talking how fin ruined their life, and the few people with bad luck who actually did experience sides.
If you go to a forum where people complain about their faulty tv, you'll find only negative reviews of said tv even if that's the best tv on the market.

You have to understand that for the millions of people where fin works as it should, they don't go online praising it on the daily. They're simply busy fulfilling lives.
Only the ones who are legit upset, will talk about it nonstop.
And for some reason, topics like fin attracts a ton of trolls who spread misinformation for whatever reason.

I've been on fin 1mg a day for the last 3 years, zero sides so far. Thicker hair overall and minor hair regrowth at the hairline. So i'm extremely happy with it.
In the end, everything has risks. Driving a car also has risks. If you don't want to take it, then don't. Just don't let the bs convince you to stop taking it because the risk of serious sides is 1 in 10000 but the risk of going bald if balding is 100%. Do your own proper research.

Do topical dutasteride + minox.

Topical fin still absorbs to oral levels after several weeks.

Molecule is big enough where it shouldnt penatrate enough to go widely systemic.

Been on it 3 months, NW 3 to 2.5ish, lots of baby hairs on temples and back of head. No sides, had ED for like 7 days but thats probably from lack of sleep, stims, and stress

Dont microneedle on it.

Wear gloves when you apply minox or dut, otherwise you will absorb it through your hands.

on fin for about 3 years... almost no sides only one is I dont get random boners anymore but I think maybe that was the case before fin.

I can still get fully erect to smash tho and have sildenafil on deck for extra fun... 1mg fin every other day helped with the random boner side so I wake up with morning wood again every now and then

on min for 1 year decent progress and now dermastamping my way back to my GOAT 18 year old hairline. my hair is also thin I know those feels... were all gonna make it

I wouldn't run Finasteride if I was natty or cycling. Would only run it if I'm blasting and cruising.

If I were to care for my hair... I'd TRT + Fin (or Dutasteride if it isn't too late) + RU58841 + Nizoral Shampoo + Hair Transplant.. I wouldn't use Minox though

Do you feel it's still effective if you microdose at 3mg/week? I'm thinking about running that system because I'm not badly balding yet and don't want to risk the sides, even though I know that statistically, the risk is like 3% tops. A couple docs on youtube said 3mg/week would still inhibit a lot of DHT, but I'm curious if it'll help with regrowth at all

yeah i heard. minox ****s with your skin.

curious tho. does DHT even have that big of an effect on performance? a lotta muscular guys/good sportsmans. have good hairlines so i assume their test is good. but doesn't that mean they might have lower DHT cos DHT is what is causing the baldness? the other reasoning would be genetics but that's just outta our control.

Good choice OP. Stay the fuk away from that drug
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

I believe it would mess with performance, which is why I say TRT But I'm not sure.
"In a recent study we showed that dihydrotestosterone (DHT), but not testosterone, increases force production in fast contracting muscles and decreases it in slow contracting ones. These findings led us to suggest that DHT may be a better muscle building hormone than testosterone"

There's people like Ashton Kutcher & Russel Brand who are on Fin/Dutasteride but they're just slender men.

As far as a muscle building aspect it is not that anabolic compared to testosterone. However It has an effect on the sympathetic drive.

Is having to take a drug to properly lay the pipe an acceptable outcome for you?

Like you said maybe that was gonna happen anyway but if I had a strong suspicion it came from a drug I took I'd be devastated. If you have a funny shaped skull or something that would prevent sex if you went bald I can understand

Honestly, the whole reason for me not daring to take this drug is even the slightest decrease in my libido and those things. I wouldn't trade that **** for anything. It's a blessing and a curse at the same time. I can't imagine living my life with libido problems. I would feel less like a man, less like someone with any purpose at all. Sure, balding and losing hair little by little sucks, but you can still feel like a real man, even if you are bald as long as you keep yourself in shape.

I am currently doing an experiment where I am trying to regrow a little bit of my hairline using ONLY the Derminator 2, nothing else. Just castor oil appliance right after, as well as some expensive ass ketoconozole shampo twice a week. I tried normal derma stamp and it did regrow some weak hairs. Hoping Derminator will be even better and regrow just enough for me to be happy.

OP, it's really just a question of whether you want to take that small risk of damaging your libido or not for better hair. If you already have **** libido for instance, you wouldn't really be risking that much, would you


EDIT: I also have experience with Minoxidil. It regrew some of my hairline only slightly. The hair never became proper terminal hair, rather a mix between vellus and terminal. It was def. better than nothing until I notice that my eyes were getting darker and got more hollow, the racoon look is a real thing. I am 100% sure of this. I went off for months and finally got rid of it after maybe 5-7 months. Too bad really, because if I did not have any sides like that with Minoxidil, I could have incredible results using Derminator 2 + Minoxidil as studies suggest.

cok has always been a true performer so figured I'd roll the dice and give it a shot when I noticed some thinning.

One year later no sides reported. Cok still hard as diamond. Random boners can go multi rounds. Hair loss has stopped but no real growth but that's fine started early.

I get the fear but thankful it worked out for me so well.

Okay, so you had no real growth but how do you truly know that it stopped your hair loss? Maybe your hair loss would stop anyway and lock for a good while?

Not doubting Fin at all, I know it works, but I am just asking

which derminator do you use?
