I was wondering how common is depression or mental health effects on finasteride?

@@FahimShahriyar-vr3ux The depression occurs if finasteride doesn’t work to manage hairloss, if hairloss stopped or improved then it obviously makes people happy or mental healthy because the problem is hair

@@andrmill8676 There are a bunch of papers saying finasteride could cause depression. Not from the lack of hair growth but from a body chemistry aspect.

Hello Matt, first i want to say congratulations on your KZfaq Channel. i was one of your very first subscriber's and i am happy how much you have grown through the year's. Can you do me a favor PLEASE!!! can you make a video in showing how you use both ( Finasteride and Minoxidil ) via topical, like when and how you use both, There's no video out there that shows how to use Both via topical, Like when do you use Finasteride on top of your head via the topical way and do you wait a few hour's before putting Minoxidil? I want to start using both via the topical way but i don't know when to put the Minoxidil then the Finasteride, Please Matt make a video and show me, I almost forgot when or what time do you use both and when do you wash your hair after applying both and how often do you shampoo your hair after using both. God Bless my Brotha

hey what do you think about topicial dut for first medic against hair lose, or should i start with pyri? best regards

Hey man how’s ur hairline now

Hi Albert! Good to see you here.

@@letsgethair I am using 1.5dermaroller with minoxdil can you tell how long shoul i wait to apply minoxdil.. I feel if I skip for 24 hours I see sudden hairfall

all the best bro. i started fin on march 15 2023, goin good so far

@@saiparichit3374 thanks bro, all the best for you too! Have positive thoughts, do exercices, eat healthy, stay away from industrialized food... soda, and I bet the results gonna be even better!

Consider crushing your Fin and mixing it with topical Minoxidil. Fewer sides in my experience.

​@@mickrozycki451 oral min is not that safe (lack of data) and potentially risky for your heart long term . While topical min is very safe and still super effective. I would just add dutasteride on top of finasteride if you are looking for some extra regrowth. But oral min? Nah !

@@exactly1176 Nah bro a random dermatologist told me it's perfectly fine

Kevin Mann is the real man

​@@Bartholome3101 Kevin Mann is dangerous ! Because of him i took finasteride and finasteride transformed me into a mantis bro ! It's called post finasteride mantis syndrome and I've got it.... also it destroyed 100% of my neurosteroids and today I can't even remember anything I did and I'm only 31 years old bro it's over for me ...

I am on 1 month of oral minoxidil 1.25 mg daily not much head results right now, but my beard and overall beard growth has improved.

I had cardiac side effects from topical minoxidil too. I feel like people don't talk enough about it, maybe it's not that common?

The first one was me! I promise it was real haha

I do not recommend them!!

?

Did you mean to say "this is far from the norm?" By far the norm means it is the norm.

@@waynepayne9875 Yes, typo sorry. Corrected now

Cope

@@anthonydunkley7844 that's the opposite of a cope. You're coping.

Any side effects?

He will ruin your face, dont use, it remove the collagen

Leaving the gym will just make your hairloss worse

its good age for start ,other start at 17/18

You could 60 mg finasteride with 60 ml. You need to crush the tablett and pick out the coating with a pincette then mix shake for 10 minutes

Short answer : no. Minoxidil gains only stay via the use of Minoxidil. You shouldn't drop minoxidil

why?, u stopped the treatment so it started falling out again?

​@@difaabdulrafi1303probably. U cant stop. But for me, its better to be bald at 40s than bald at 20s.

No , it works differently from minoxidil.

Try lowering the dose first. Then if it doesn't work, try topical

0.25mg oral finasteride would be the next step. And if the sides wont go away, then 0.025% topical

It is one of the go to combinations of some of the most renowned dermatologists. Nobody can guarantee you 100% safety when combining these. You might get some sides along the journey.

Yo, 3 months and a few days on it, no shedding yet. Still great hair, Hope it will go well for you!

@Oldboy hey my slaphead friend ! 😀 Pas de shedding après 3 mois ? Alors ça voulait juste dire que t'es cheveux étaient déjà parfait ! Donc très bonne nouvelle ! De mon côté le shedding est violent et il ne s'arrête pas . Mais depuis genre une semaine je commence à voir plein de nouveaux cheveux partout ! Ce qui prouve que surtout pour mon cas : la dutasteride était plus que nécessaire. Je pense avoir de fortes repousses d'ici 2 mois ! Et logiquement mon shedding devrait se calmer d'ici 2 semaines . Bref, tout est normal. 👍. Ps : mais j'avoue que je m'attendais pas à un shedding aussi intense. En vrai j'ai même perdu en densité ! C'est assez impressionnant. Mais comme j'ai soudainement pas mal de repousses, bah c'est une excellente nouvelle . Et mon shedding est surtout sur une grande masse de cheveux plutôt miniaturisés / semi miniaturisés. Mes cheveux déjà très épais ne tombent pas vraiment !!! Bref .. c'est excellent !!

@@exactly1176 j’ai entendu des anecdotes comme quoi après 1 an les résultats sont pas mal vis à vis du dut. Je shed encore mais peu, encore quelques cheveux affinés mais ils repoussent plus épais donc question de patiente pour moi. Enfin, courage!

@@Bartholome3101 tu dois avoir une " baseline " bien meilleure que la mienne d'où un shedding nettement moins brutal que le mien . Moi je suis Norwood 2 mais c'est un faux Norwood 2 dans le sens où sans ma greffe de cheveux je serais un Norwood 3.5. En gros j'ai énormément de cheveux ultra miniaturisés. Et ça explique pourquoi j'ai un shedding aussi monstrueux !!! Lol Mais ça m'a définitivement convaincu que le finasteride n'était pas suffisant pour moi . L'ajout du dut était une nécessité si je voulais retrouver une excellente densité.

@@exactly1176 t’inquiète ça ira, dans le pire des cas tu pourras augmenter la dose jusque 2,5mg et là ça sera impossible de perdre le moindre terrain!

Yes

I show those as a motivation. These results are possible to achieve but only by a small % of users. Most people will experience less amazing regrowth. Some will only see stabilized shedding without any significant regrowth.

Should be really effective but make sure you use the right version that was specifically compounded for subl use.

Go to a doctor and ask for Loniten 2.5mg for your hair loss.

@@GHFear They don't prescribe it here :(

Travel to Colombia and buy them over the counter. They sell them in 10mg tablets. 30 pills for like 11 dollars.

@@cristobalospina620 Lol good idea. Although I'm not sure spending $1000s on flights to get there is worth it either 😂

if you have no results with this protocol after 2 years, not even stabilization of hair loss, then you could still get on a topical anti androgen (RU58841, pyrilutamide) before giving up.

Pointless

Hi, you should always combine with something like serenoa repens or pumpkin seeds. They simulate finasteride and don't have collateral effects

​@@crapdevil1772 false. Those are useless . Finasteride is much much more effective while being very safe.

@@crapdevil1772 little baby seeds and cheap -snake- oils are gonna stop the baldness better than finasteride a FDA approved drug with countless of studies to show its effectiveness against MBP? omg that’s so crazy! Where do I buy these wittle seeds and oils 😂

@@exactly1176 + if this stuff works by decreasing DHT like finasteride, then they should have identical side effects because side effects appears due to the elevated estrogen levels.

Some people get them, but many people don't.

Actifolic still sells it

@@Bartholome3101 yeah but only the rest the own

i don´t know if actifolic is legit, i see lots of people complaning about their RU58841. Pyrilutamide general speaking people didn´t see any improvement or even loose ground. As for Actifolic's Pyri, you practically don't see good feedback, in forums, discord groups, etc. kintor is contacting these sellers not to sell more pyri, for various reasons, patent, appropriation of intellectual property, etc... maybe the lack of effectiveness was giving bad publicity to pyri lol

@@MrAlexking333 well it isn’t that bad. People didn’t get results from it.

@@Bartholome3101 i feel the same lolol

You should incorporate micro needling once a week brotha.

Bad advice . Microneedling is such a hassle long term . Very annoying to use... Just add dutasteride once or twice a week on top of your finasteride. Gonna be more effective than Microneedling without being a hassle. Also you won't take any risks to get an infection (could happen with microneedling).

@@exactly1176 I’ve been micro needling for over a year. If you’re lazy it’s a hassle. I’ve had great results with it monotherapy of just micro needling.

@@exactly1176 absolutely true, i tried it but i cant stick to it for long, and yes i have been thinking to add dutestride to my stack

Side effects?

no. I am ordering it now. Already compounded by a pharmacy

@@letsgethair at your local pharmacy? I can not seem to find any online pharmacists here in the Netherlands who ship a topical solution

no

@@letsgethair I am 20 years old, my beard is not mature yet, will it fall out?

It's probably a nocebo as you read too much about the " side effects " on the internet . Just take finasteride like it's an aspirin and forget about it. Also if you get any real sides : those usually go away with continued use of the drug as it's been shown In some serious studies (most sides go away on their own between month 3 and month 6). Some people basically just need time to adjust to finasteride. Finasteride sometimes mess with your hormones but it's only temporary. Conclusion : don't give up on finasteride, lower the dose to 0.25mg every other day (it should help) and don't overthink about " side effects " as you might give yourself a nocebo . Relax, give time to finasteride, do exercise everyday/ cold shower in the morning. Do intermittent fasting and eat as healthy as possible and in a few months you should be perfectly fine 🙂. Edit : I also had ED in the past, and I later understood that it was because of stress/ lack of exercise and not so good of a diet. I tried to relax, sleep better etc... and my ED completely disappeared. You will be alright 👍

The side effects are not even real. Just take 0.5mg-1mg every day and stop overthinking it.

@@danke1150 I took it for 10 days, I felt side effects, I was going through a very difficult time, a lot of stress, bad diet, I didn't take it for a few weeks and got back to normal, after that I went back to the gym, eating properly, and drinking plenty of water , and I also went back on the medication 1mg a day, this time I feel almost nothing, normal libido, slightly weaker erections, but still quite normal, the only thing evident is the consistency of the sperm

yes, topical F

Can you highlight the side effects

Same... Right off the bat, I started getting BAD insomnia. Never had insomnia in my life and 1 week on finasteride I wake up every 15-20 minutes ALL night. Been battling this side effect for 3 weeks now and it's not going away. It's absolutely exhausting... Lowered to 0.5mg yesterday. Hope 0.5mg will get rid of this side effect, or I will have to try 0.25mg... if that doesn't work I will just have to stop taking this stuff. :/

@@zr6067 Depression, very low sex drive, erections not how they used to be! Not worth it in my opinion.

​​@@GHFear you are probably giving yourself a nocebo mate.... Just go and watch the new " HairCafe " KZfaq video. He just made a video about finasteride and insomnia. It's gonna be a very interesting video for you. Go and have a look 👍

@@exactly1176 sorry but that's impossible. For the nocebo effect to work, you need to know about the side effects and anticipate them. I have never read the finasteride side effects ever and only after 2 weeks of having this side effect did I look up the side effects and saw that this is like the 6th most common side effect.

Not really
