I didn't know where to post it, seems kinda like a supplement compared to the other forums...

So I just got it, I started to read the instructions and it says it only helps with the top of the head and doesn't do anything for receding hairlines... Anything work for receding hair loss?

I've been taking finasteride for a few months now
 
I would be careful with the oral finnisteride it will kill your sex drive by tanking your DHT. I would try to get the topical finasteride

I tried finding topical, but I can't find a mix that doesn't have caffeine in it, I tried a caffeine shampoo once and it lite up my whole scalp and my hair was falling out like I was on chemo or something
 
@Palmer1991 - check out minoxidilmax: they have topical finasteride, dutasteride, RU, blends, etc. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the odd person can grow back hair but not many. Most can just halt the loss. I prefer RUderma PG free and never once did I have a negative from oral finasteride but some do. I could be on finasteride - don't ask for propecia. Talk to your doctor and get 5 mg tabs for your prostate and cut them up. It is covered by your insurance and they expect you are taking 5 mg a day when I only take 1 mg a day so one 3 month supply actually last 15 months. I have enough script finasteride to sink a ship lol.
For what it worth, in Canada some shampoos for dandruff (Nizoral has 2% Ketoconazole) help but you have to leave it in while you shower and then rinse it out after.
I never liked Rogaine and found it useless even going through the shedding stage when you first lose more and you think it is going to make you go bald and then the hair comes back but it never grew or thickened any for me. @Sorbate had success with it I believe so get his opinion as it may help. Most Rogain comes in lower % but they offer higher %'s - their main Rogain only is 5%.

It is in the US and the packages get opened at the border but never once did it not show up.

It regrew a bit, but mainly halted it, which I was fine with.

As a note, when I was running gh last time, my hair started to fill back in enough that even my wife noticed.

I just made an order from them cause they don't have the alcohol in rogaine... I been using rogaine the last while but it's been lighting my scalp on fire!
 
I'm starting to wish I took pictures to compare cause Im thinking's it might actually be causing hair to fall out... According to google it's a shedding phase, but it's my hairline, I thought with rogaine your hairline doesn't grow back?

You got a good place to order a micro needle from?

dermanator 2.0 or similar gun, makes sure you hit depth and it will take you 1/10 the time a handheld needler or roller will

I've heard some people experience post finasteride syndrome, this always scared me to get on it.

Is topical finastride as effective as the oral?

I'll just get hair transplant in the future if it's gets that bad I guess.
 
I'm thinking of a hair transplant... I'm taking 1mg finasteride oral, I got the 15% minox with 1% finasteride topical, Ive even been microneedling and it's still receding week after week I notice it more n more. I went a year ago being told by barbers I have amazing hair and I'll never have to worry about being bald. I would get praised for my hair every time I got a haircut, everytime... Then they stopped and it got me noticing, now they teach me ways to hide my hairline.

Yeah that is the downside of taking steroids.

Depending on your age would determine what I would do. In my mid 50's, everyone around my age is thinning anyways, so I don't care.

I'm 33. It's not as bad as many guys my age. But it's not the best and it's only getting worse 😕. I looked into it a little bit, I'm going to check out what Coleman mentioned and see what upguys is, but for the amount of loss I have I'd need like 1000-1200 to have the hairline of a 18yr old. So in Canada that's like 5k ish. It's 4$ per piece of hair they transplant 😂 holy fuck eh lol
 
I used minoxidil from the company foligan .. it pretty cheap and it seems to work for me some of my hair came back .. but it does mostly slow down the hair loss I think
 
Finasteride is a perscription drug so maybe that'd be smart if your benefits cover it. I wonder though, if taking it orally and using primobolan would the primo have absolutely no effect on you or would it help increase libido while on finasteride
