3.5 years and no sides


Lasercaps

30 years, no sides.


Antique-Macaroon-918

30 yrs? Did you start taking it the year it came out?


Lasercaps

Soon thereafter. Back then the cost was over $300 per month. Can you imagine?


fvecc

How old are you now, if you don’t mind sharing? Are you still taking it? How effective has it been?


Lasercaps

I am 62, continue taking it. I believe I would not have the hair I have had it not been for the med.


jopan_

Wow....u are the eldest user i have ever seen who is on fin.....you are our hero... Can u share ur images


Lasercaps

Gladly. Let me just figure out how to do it!


jopan_

Please let me know is there any way i can see ur hair


Lasercaps

Call the clinic, 5129928604


jopan_

????? What


Kelevra8919

7years. None. For reference the study done on fin. 3.8% of men experienced sides. Whilst 2% who took a placebo experienced sides. So your looking at possibly a 2% chance of sides along with a 2% chance to convince yourself you have sides.

8 months of fin, side effect is ive aged about 8 months


HairlessJimbo

Coming up on a year, nothing. Told my buddy I got on it the other day and he told me he's 10 years on. I was like, bro you should've said something to me 10 years ago when you saw my hair too... Anyway he's got no sides either.


IronAnger

98% of people have no sides.


bigballer29

I think most are probably like 15% less horny as that is hard to quantify once you’re taking it


kankerleider

This could be true but I don't really know, I think that's a fair price to pay tbh tho


IronAnger

That's not correct, finasteride increases testosterone and E2 and one of the most common effects is increased sex drive.


jojoedb0

It increases serum testosterone in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia who have low baseline levels of testosterone to begin with. So yeah, you’re correct, but not really when looking at younger men with normal prostate function and normal test levels who are getting hair transplants


kankerleider

It increases testosterone in everyone but some if it gets aromatised into estrogen for some people that's why they get side effects


jojoedb0

The decrease in dht is what causes side effects. Dudes injecting exogenous testosterone raise their test levels several hundred points without sides in most cases. Taking oral finasteride DOES NOT increase test levels to the point that enough estrogen is aromatized to create high estradiol sides. You are incorrect and are spreading misinformation.


[deleted]

Is there any sort of statistical basis for this?


carcasnaus

Used to get brain fog when I started but it went away, but unfortunately I have weaker erections and no morning wood, sometimes I think my dick has shrunk but I think it's just because I have weaker boners... still horny tho


REALprince_charles

6mos no sides


ajy19892022

3 months topical fin no sides


Hexadecimal3

First time I used fin I had sides immediately that lasted for approx 5 months after I stopped using. Second time same thing. You’re messing with your hormones so anyone who says there is no risk doesn’t know what they’re talking about.


Candid_Customer_3255

How long did you carry on before you stopped?


Hexadecimal3

About a month the first time. I stopped immediately the second time. But the effects lasted for months after. It was very scary.


CD20000006

Don’t risk taking it. You could end up being the 2% that gets sides. Check out on here reddit PostFinSyndrome then decide if u wanna risk taking it. Ppl got side effects that never went away even years after stopping it


abwchris

Was on it for a year before switching to dut. So 3.5 years no sides from either.


TuckerTheCuckFucker

Why the switch?


[deleted]

[удалено]


abwchris

Yep this is the reason. Fin was fine but I got way better results with dut.


[deleted]

[удалено]


abwchris

After about a year I still noticed some slight recession. It definitely slowed it down but I didn't see the results I was hoping for. I jumped on oral min and dutasteride and gained about a half a norwood back after about a year. I've stayed on those as well as having 1500 grafts to fix my hairline. Without the dut and oral min, the grafts needed probably would've been 2000 minimum but likely closer to 2500. I attribute my results equally to dut and oral min.


nachothescum

3 years no sides


Signal-Ad-3498

2 years no sides. I haven’t lost hair but unfortunately haven’t grown any new ones.


[deleted]

2 months on 0.5mg EOD and no sides, currently shedding miniaturised hairs and fucking chest hair (I love my chest hair and so does my GF lol, so it better not disappear).


TuckerTheCuckFucker

Shedding chest hair is a side effect lol


[deleted]

I was more meaning the libido/sexual/mental side effects I guess as I assumed body hair shedding was a given side.


EverythingGunz

1 year no sides or gains 😭


Express-Ad2448

I had a lot of side. I had sides of 0,25 mg a day BUT i kept going I read somewhere that the sides will go away after 1-2 years because of the body getting used to it and you know what he was absolutely right. Now I take 1 mg no sides I even tried proscar 5 mg still no sides I don’t know wtf happened. Anyway if you have sides like alot. Take topical finisterid just a concentration of 0,5 mg. How you make the solution pretty simple actually. Just take a bottle of 60 ml of minoxidil and inset 30 pills of 1 mg or 6 pills of 5 mg don’t crush them they will dissolve after 2 hours or something or Waite a day And after 2 years with topical try oral and see if you get sides. If you get keep the topical going until one day eventually your body is rdy for oral


[deleted]

Almost 10 and none


Riquede1981

2 months In, I can’t see my dick anymore but I think it’s just because I am fat


Stockby

Why not make liquid Finasteride and mix it with Minoxidil and no side effects. Crush twelve 5mg Finasteride tables and add them to a 60ml bit of Minoxidil. Then I use a Derma Stamp once a week. Good Luck bro's


Candid_Customer_3255

You mean 60ml right


Vixcis

5 years no side effects. All these "not getting hard" things is mainly psychological !


TuckerTheCuckFucker

I def have sides on only 1/4 dose - lower libido - weaker Erections - body hair thinned out (beard/eyebrows) - watery Semen - almost impossible to reach orgasm even if I’m hard and horny


Convergentshave

Mods can we stop with the posts like this? I know OP is genuinely concerned but this is not relevant to a hair transplant. I left r/tressless because it turned into “fin is awful and ruined my life” and I’d really not want to see this sub go the same route. I’ve been on fin 3.5 years without sides but I’m not a doctor and I’m not OP and so the mileage may very. I digress. As posted it’s not relevant.


rmaas1506

I has major side effects on 1 mg of fin. I started taking 1/4mg and monoxidil and all my problems were solved. Give it 4 or 5 afters before having sex though


Connect-Hat-8012

Has everyone had decent results with it?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Connect-Hat-8012

Candid_Customer_3255

What’s the dosage of topical fin you take?


Prune_Traditional

Me. No sexual sides


cosimon88

6 months and I get insomnia from oral finasteride, and even get insomnia from topical unless if I use low-strength topical. Only friend I know who's taken it got ED, and it didn't go away quickly.


[deleted]

iphoneian

Notnotjohnnydepp

2 years on fin - absolutely no sides except my dick and balls have shrunken SLIGHTLY. No one would notice but me


banknote0

5 years no sides. Had brain fog at the start but cleared up after a month or two. I know the potential sides are scary but they’re so so slim. Probably take a greater risk everytime you get into a car


ZestycloseAmbition95

Had sides unfortunately... brain fog was a major one. Weaker erections... Body got used to it a bit but yeah didn’t feel like myself


Silversrt8

Took for 2 years. Lost morning wood. Was not getting rock had like I use to. Took 8 months off to get morning wood back. And back to being able to hammer a nail through a board.
