My hair at the front has decreased in density and volume, the hairline also started receding. I’m still a Norwood I but not sure for how long. I’m too pussy for finasteride though, is Minoxidil + Dermarolling enough or is it fin or nothing

>My hair at the front has decrea-ACK!
Too pussy for fin? What do you mean?
Scared of the side effects, fricking up my dick, energy, libido, focus etc
Everyone says that it’s good to start early but it just feels like pharmabro advice
dunno bout others but i didn't get any side effects at all. been using fin for 5years. but i always hade very strong libido. so if you have low, it might frick you up
Remember that all drastic changes in life come with great sacrifice.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
You can do what you want, but fin blatantly changes your body. Some people tolerate it, more often than not they don't.
Ive been on and off fin and never had side effects other than shedding when i stop. i also roid but my dick literally never stops except if i let my estrogen get too high even when my test levels are tanked
So I should check my Test levels before starting it, and if my T is high enough I’m probably okay?
>Scared of the side effects
If you read literally any medical study on fin then you know that the percentage of men that get sexual side effects from fin is within the margin of error. It's just psychosomatic. If you think you're going to break your dick then you're dick will break. Otherwise you'll be like everyone else and have zero problems.
Is there a drug that doesn't have side effects? I bet you took any pill your mother gave without a second thought but now you can't because of fear mongering grow some fricking balls
Just get a prescription and try it. If you get side effects, quit, it's not like it will frick you up for life.
Ok this is the first time I have posted about this on here but I have been on fin for over two months at this point and I was EXACTLY like you and was terrified about the horror stories. Eventually after watching some Haircafe videos on youtube I decided to bite the bullet and try fin. Two months in and I have had ZERO side effects. The only thing was a short stint of testicular discomfort that occurred after I took the first pill after reading a YouTube comment that said he had some testicular pain. I quickly realized I was nocebo-ing myself and the pain went away overnight. Fin is not a dangerous drug and I think the side effects are a bit of a meme. PFS is also complete bs. I would say GET ON FIN but I have only been on it 2 months I cant make definitive statements on it yet but the side effects thing is bs.
OP in a couple of years

start taking 500mg aspirin, vitamin K, and vitamin E (mixed tocopherols), daily. lower your PUFA intake to almost nothing, lower your cortisol, increase your sugar and decrease your starch intake. there, you have gained 10+ years of hair on your head.
Also take a zinc supplement. (15mg)
>increase sugar intake
Almost had me there bro
concurrently with a decrease in starch. you can lower your cortisol by eating sugar.
I was with a group of older friends and one of them is a 40 year old single woman. She was on tinder for fun with one of the sassy gay friends and she was disliking every bald dude because they're bald.
That's a 40 year old single woman. Bottom of the barrel. Balding is a fricking death sentence and everyone knows it. Your dating pool gets slammed down to only select few daddy issues girls or girls that will like you if you cover your body and head in tattoos (who are also inherently trash). You can say goodbye to attractive young women.
I'm on a NW2 at the moment and trying to figure out how I'm gonna keep this shit as long as possible. Finasteride gives me side effects, my morning wood disappears and I don't get random boners anymore when I'm on it orally AND topically. I'm reducing my topical dose to play around with it though.
noticed any regrowth or is it not possible to reverse ? i'm considering fin right now same stage as u also what else you tried that worked ?
I've seen plenty of reddit threads with regrowth. For me I've been too inconsistent. Was on oral for a few months then ditched and detoxed due to sides. Been on fin/min topical mix since August which is too soon to really say, and I'm still figuring the application parameters out. I've noticed my hair is thinning on the sides as well so need to apply there. I'm on 0.05% concentration daily, but took the last few days off. Gonna try lower dose.
The problem also is judging whether my lack of morning wood and libido and shit is fin related, or depression, stress, and shit sleep related, or likely a combo of both.
do everything u can from right now and preserve your norwood 1 i'm norwood 2.5 i wish i done something earlier

>90 FRICKING DAYS TO GET BOOZE OUT OF YOUR HAIR
I'm loading up on carrots, spinach, Vitamin C, Iron, and doing fricking egg shampoo treatments after the new year. I should have never let it get this bad. Frick me. I pray that by June and staying clean/on this hair diet things will be back to normal.
