U prolly we’re never losing your hair

@@krisman1771 I am losing my hair. Diffuse thinning. But I recovered a decent ground with finas

nice

@@joeblack7326 imma give that 3 times a week a try after I’m off it for a month prolly should try and lose the chubby nubs off body as well prolly would help

@@bmh2570 may be 2mg per week

i am 22 and i have started minoxil last month as 2 twice a day and finasteride this month as 3 times a week. i keep thinking i wish i had started my treatment 3 years ago when my hairdresser told me. my mom kept telling me i lost hair for 2 years. i always kept denying. i don't know if treatments will work and fill the emptiness in my head. i feel regret too. so, i just wanted to share my story with you.

@@mateowhitley9880 As soon as I saw the video that said 3 times a week was enough to prevent hair loss, I stopped the daily dosing. No gradual transition. Its worked for me. No hair loss. Been doing it now for over six months now, maybe more. Libido is better, too, although Viagra fixes everything. Any males not using it, are crazy. Its cheap and very effective.

That's awesome. I've adopted the same routine.

Did you manage to conceive on finasteride?

@@georgigeorgiev7869 Did not try to. Was done making kids.

Did you find out anything?

Unfortunately no.

*I'm 23 and my advice: please TRY FIN before it's too late!!!*

Good question

Yes please

Skin conditions are due to the underlying gut problem .find it out. Do the food alergy test .intake vitamin d

@@tomshaji psoriasis isnt due to diet lmao

Topical or oral

ointment 🤣

intravenously

That's a Big Ass pill!

Transdermal patch? 😂

0.5mg per week is like taking nothing at all. 🤣 Why even bother at that point? 🤣 That's like pissing in the ocean; not enough to make any difference. 🤣

In your case, I would try topical finasteride first. Almost as effective but with less chance of side effects.

@@ytsux9259 hence the question 😂. With diminishing returns, 0.5 is essentially as potent as 1mg and lasts in the skin for 3 - 4 days, which I'd say is still a significant reduction. Still I'll look into topical, thanks

@@machietheapachie7214 I've seen many people on the comment sections saying that by taking 0,5mg only once a week has been beneficial. Altough the half life of Finasteride is quite short (only 4 to 7 hours) it still remains active in the skin TISSUE for around 3 to 5 days. This is exactly as you suggested. I think this is why taking a low dose once or twice a week can bring benefits to many people.

@@rollingstart_90s90 thanks for confirming that. Still trying to get my head around it as it seems to be all or nothing within the community, but it seems to me that ironically the best candidates are those who don't really need it. I think of a boat with a hole analogy. The hole (dht receptor) can be small or big (insensitive/sensitive) and few or many, with the amount of water (dht) coming in varying person to person, and with a person (tolerance/nutrition/health) onboard with a bucket dishing it back out. We can presume that every man is losing his hair, whether obvious or not, so the question is not IF you lose it but WHEN regarding the rate of loss. As such, considering the strength of fin, I'd imaging that someone holding ground into middle age without aid should respond very well to it, even at once per week as even that should allow the man in the boat to tip the scales in favour of growth (hair cycles to reverse to original strength). Then again, I could be talking out my hole lol

We have no real data on 3x a week but we do have datas showing no real difference in term of efficiency on 0.25, 0.50 and 1mg per day (a few percentage diff) now in term of side effect blank page :)

u should never immediately stop taking fenas, minoxidil.......reduce there dosage gradually so that ur good can prepare it's self in between

There shouldn't be any shedding because they both contain finasteride. If you were to switch to Dutasteride, then yeah, there will be some shedding at first.

@@StreetRider-iz7tg that happens when you don’t take the dose for more than 6 months. This has been explained in this channel

1-2ng per day

hey, just curious what's your age

@@aibekkarimov7457 27

Did you have sides in 1mg ED?

That’s good to hear I’m on week 3 EOD 1.25 mg no sides so far but too early too see a difference in my hair

Any regrowth??

Only way to tell is to remove the intervention and see if these "white patches" subside. Stop Finasteride for a a month, let it wash out of your system entirely and assess the spots. If they're gone, then you know it was bc of Finasteride. If not, then it's possible Fiansteride caused them. However, white patches in your skin aren't typically a side effect of Fin.

They've done a video on this already. Disclaimer obviously talk to your own doctor/do your own research of course don't just trust me on the internet but in general from what I've seen on this channel and understood about dose response curves it's not a big deal to do what you are planning.

Make appointment with your dermatologist and go talk to a professional about this in person please. Don't ask on the internet for something this specific because answer will always be go to the health professional where you live and have a proper discussion with them.

How did you get the finasteride without a prescription? Maybe take the plunge and go see a specialist in the closest town if possible and then maybe in 6 months see him/her again and then do online sessions instead once they know your situation

@@cheetahbrfc9016 I got a prescription of course. But she is a dermatologist not a trichologist.

@@nonocompro108 I just use my friends one lol (my brother and my friend both went to a trichologist. He just gave them minoxidil 10% and other stuff on top of finasteride (buying it from him). I watched the guys here and just told my friend get me the finasteride (you can tell the doc they see wants to just sell his stuff and wants appointments for money, well that's what I think). I get my minoxidil online here way cheaper than that doc. Are you alos using minoxidil? Please start if you are not

@@cheetahbrfc9016 sure i use Minoxidil 5% since Feb 21 and I expect some good results starting at the end of sommer. I apply it once a day as suggested in this program but most people use it twice a day.

I'm also curious about this. I know there is one study indicating that 0.2 mg daily or 0.5 mg every other day may be almost as effective as 1 mg daily, but that's just one study.

Look for baby hairs near the hairline, if you have lots of those, that's a sign for a receding hairline

i have a lot of wispy baby hairs near my frontal hairline,can those hairs become like rest of the hairs by using minox & fin.?

@@smartpoint604 If you suspect hair loss, see a doctor and get a finasteride subscription. The earlier you start treatment the earlier you halt further follicle miniaturization (har loss).

what is your suggestion sir mwf is ok ? my routine is i cut the 5mg to into 4s mwf and saturday

@@pagenotfound- try 0.5 3 times a week and see how you go like they recommend

@@graeme1744FYI, They recommend 3mg a week not 1.5 as a starting point.

@@kylekeenan3485 things have changed with finastride dosages over the years. They rushed it out without doing enough study just on Hairloss itself and then found out it can cause side effects in some men. Probably I was overdosing my body and I was only around 65kg at the time but I will never know.

Get your glands removed

Initially you might shed hair rapidly as the hair follicle goes thru its cycle however the newer hair will grow and take it's place and will be thicker and darker. Same thing happens with minoxidil when you first take it

Have you got any improvement in your hair density since changing the dosage?

My understanding is, finas usually doesn't help much with the front; but it's most helpful on the crown. I'm a few months in, 0.5mg per day and the crown is getting fuller. The front is not noticeable yet. Oh, and no shedding for me. 🤷

how's it going?

@@LUIS7SUAREZ71 best of luck on new journey fam

Hows it going now? What's the update?

You have to wait minimum 5 to 6 months to get pleasant results

You can take a break every 5-6 months for 1 month, 2 if you think it's better, that will clear the finasteride out of your system and then you start again. Also, yes, you can try lower dosages

I started Finasteride, 1mg EOD in September 2020 and the past month I've been suffering from a heavy shed. It can take a VERY long time to see benefits and can be upwards of 2yrs until you're happy with results. Stick it out and see where you're at, at the one year mark.

How it is going

@@raphaelfernandes5195 The difference is astonishing, I was noticing significant hairloss for the last 5 years, I still have a lot of hair, but I went from a solid norwood 3, with the crown starting to show, now my temples are getting filled month by month and the crown area is not visible anymore

Yes or no?

@BenBenson So I am taking this zinc vitamin which has Quercetin and my PCP says it can decrease the efficacy of finasteride. I can't find it online so I thought I would ask question here..

Not unless it effects the liver enzyme used to process Fin

@BenBenson me neither not sure why my PCP said it interacts. All I see is this one supp.ai/i/quercetin-finasteride/C0034392-C0060389

Bhaskar Susarla doesn’t zinc increase androgens production?

Do you mind sharing what sort of side effects you were having?

@@klepto4121 Yeah, why not. My nipples were a bit sensitive, libido and erection quality were also slightly down. But then I switched to 0.5mg every other day (and it's still like this) and my sides went away a week later. The only thing that bothers me is dandruff.

I’m pretty sure u may have had dandruff before starting fin but once you started it you took more notice of it. Sometimes when you make yourself think the sides are going to happen (such as erectile dysfunction) you’ll start to think you’re having less erections when in reality it’s pretty much the same but you’re only taking notice of it more. It’s called the nocebo effect

@@hardware_maniac I got similar side effects. Mainly nipple sensitivity which freaked me out. I seem to be tolerating 0.5mg three times a week. Has your hair loss stabilized?

@@pabasamdee163 Yes, it did. Much less hair is falling out now, which makes me happy. I didn't have any major shed, but not much regrowth has been seen. I am trying to stay optimistic :) People say that it can take up to a year to see substantial results, so keep that in mind. There is a channel called Keratin Brootherhood, search it up. Man had waited for 16 months to see any results, even though he was using minoxidil and a dermaroller.

Finasteride is not for women, baby

Females shouldn't be using finesteride

@KZfaqr Man thanx friend

There is a specific exam. But from what I've read, it's not effective because the DHT in the blood is different from the amount of DHT in the scalp. So the exam is not 100% reliable.

@@filipe977 just a thought... I wish, they can take blood samples from the scalp and measure the DHT level.... 😀

@Jay Tea You might be a bad candidate then 😔

@Jay Tea updates?

Did you ever learn about this? My doctor gave me 5mg daily. I am afraid 5mg every day is too much. Do you know what I should do?

​@@carlciulla6546 5 a day is a lot , split that in 4

Couple reasons...1mg lowers DHT more on a single day than 0.5mg does, the uniformity of the pill being split, and the cumulative effect of taking it more times a week

@BenBenson it can be absorbed thru the skin, so no, the coating is there to protect it from the environment

@BenBenson Actually reason why it has a coating is it can absorb through your skin if you touch it

Quite simply...it doesn't matter what level is in the blood stream. It matters how much DHT is in the skin tissue.

1] Dose response (self-explanatory and if it isn't you must do more of your own research to understand this concept) & 2] convenience (always knowing it's exactly 1mg vs 0.5mg where when you cut can never be 100% precise that you cut into two perfectly 0.5mg pieces it's probably 0.53 one time and 0.47 the other etc over time that becomes inconsistent dosing which no doctor would support vs knowing exact dosing every time)

you can always remove your gyno surgically. Not the cheapest option, but it solves the problem for sure.

You re fucked up. I’ m experiencing gyno from finasteride and my puberal gyno was pretty gone before taking finasteride. I ‘ m 24 now

Most likely ur estrogen went up form blocking dht estrogen goes up prolactin does gyno gets worse

Did you start taking finasteride and did it make your gyno worse? I have the same problem

?

Its takes up to a year for normal hairloss to resume once you finish, so adjusting up and down on your doses is unlikely to cause any significant hairloss.

Any side effects? How's it working? I'm afraid to try it, but I'm about to. Either this or shave my head.

@@scottpittman825 I started fin initially about a year ago dosing every day and had most of the side effects people report.

@@scottpittman825 Ya I was the same way initially and I think going into it i convinced myself that I had every symptom people describe in those horror stories.

@@ggs4869 I haven’t started yet but plan on being on the same regimen of 3x a week soon! Thanks for the response

Of course it's better, you will have more stable blood serum concentration, which is useful to prevent side effects.

1mg EOD is more effective, since it lowers DHT more than 0.5mg ever will, and it's VERY slow at returning to normal in the scalp tissue, also doing it EOD reduces cumulative effect of too much reduced DHT over long period of time, so 0.5mg can catch up to 1mg every other day, and any dosage more times a week can start to surpass intermittent
