The great finastride debate

You’re not gonna get advice on here you wouldn’t get at a pharmacist anon
What about limp dick syndrome
Blaming a pill and "big pharma" for whacking your dick daily to troony porn and not being able to get it up IRL
Makes sense, I was only wigged out bc I had trouble getting hard to beat it but it’s fine whenever I have sex on the off occasion
T. Fin helped me beat troony porn addiction
>m-muh low libido is actually a good thing! Trannies!
lmao, god i am glad im not balding and have a working dick
You think you'll have fin available to you for thirty years?
Fin is the primary treatment for BPH and has institutional demand so yes
Okay micrometer wiener don’t get ahead of yourself
20, started balding at 18/19.
i have been using it for a few months. hair stopped falling out. libido is weird, i'm not so horny all the time, but when i need to, i can perform just fine. i'll wait till i settle with someone and then i'll stop using it. you can use 0.5mg every other day, or 0.25 every day and have less chance of sides, and it will most likely be enough to keep your hair.
if you see serious sides, taper off, stop using it eventually, maybe try some other stuff like ru58841
forgot to mention topical fin is also worth trying but not available here in germany
How do you cut your pills?
Also how do you tell between fin sides and placebo
simple pill cutter. i have 5mg pills (cheaper in germany).
i split them into 1.25 and take mo-we-fr.
between sides and placebo it's hard to differentiate, especially with all the fearmongering going on everywhere about fin.
i say don't stress too much about it.
many people cry about sides while they're fat/untrained, and for sure if you're like that, fin will have a higher chance to negatively affect you
best of luck in the fight against the norwood reaper, king
Yea I have 1mg pills in circle shapes so it probably wouldn’t work with a cutter
my pills are tiny circles and i have no problem cutting them into 4 pieces
I'm 22-24% BF and cutting right now (albeit slowly and focusing more on training, losing 1 lb per week tops). Should I wait to get to 15% BF, and maybe hop on maintenance first?
I had bloodwork last year and my DHT was thru the roof. Acceptable range ia 200-400 ug/ml or some chit and mine was 600+. My libido is rock bottom from the cut but I can get hard just fine. I can still fap and cum taking cold showers, as I usually do.
if i were you i would try a low dose like 0.5mg every 3 days or something, then see how it's working
by the time you're 15% BF or so, you can bump up the dose (if you even need it)
Thanks for the advice. It's winter here and I look pretty good with clothes on, but I've considered speedrunning the cut just to be done with it. If I dachaumaxx I can lose 4kg per month no problemo. Well there *is* problemo, but I know I can deal with the suck.
I looked my best @ 84kg when I was a turboDYEL, but with the extra muscle mass I might get by with 86kg. I'm 93kg right now.
Kek I workout very consistently and do landscaping for 10 hours every weekday, I’m turbodyle for life
I feel old. And I'm not even balding
Been on various doses of finasteride including topical attempts for almost two years now.
1. It has definitely slowed my hair loss, however my temples and hairline are absolutely still further back than when I started in November 2021, slightly. I also started minoxidil in various forms and applications last Summer and it has likely assisted.
2. It has absolutely affected libido for me. I used to get anticipation boners just sitting on the same couch as girls knowing we were gonna get it on, but now I can be making out with a girl sitting on me and it's more on and off getting hard then going away. Never had an issue fricking, but it's absolutely a change. I don't pop boners just looking at girls anymore and only in the morning can I get one just by thinking sexy thoughts. This seems to also depend a lot on other factors though like sleep. For a while I was on 1.25mg every other day and my morning wood was disappearing.
3. If you're balding I would still recc getting on it. Balding is a death sentence for getting girls 18-22 (the only girls that matter). I'm currently doing 0.75mg on Sunday and seems to give me a good healthy balance where I get morning wood and good boners going on demand. I also have oral min and apply fin/min mix topically every other day too.
4. DO NOT start off taking 1mg per day. 0.5mg every other other day inhibits your DHT/5ar2 just as much. Taking 1mg a day is basically overdosing on the drug. Check your tolerance starting off small, because of how it has lingering effects and stays in your tissues, you can even do 0.5mg twice a week and be good. Combine with light topical application of 0.05% or less and minoxidil.
Also to add to this, I'm 30, for reference. I lift 5-6 days a week and jog once. I have optimized my diet for best possible health function.
The only variables to my changes in libido could be:
1. Finasteride, the drug that literally has low libido printed as a known side effect.
2. Getting older, when I started I was 28, now I'm 30, but the change came on fairly quickly with starting. Within a month I noticed it.
3. Desensitizing to sex and girls. I started a ton of hookups around the same time I started fin because I just got out of a relationship and did everything ever in my wildest sex dreams with some really fun young women because I've hit an age where 18-21 year old girls with daddy issues want to do whatever I want I guess. I can't help but think this also had and effect where now just making out with a girl doesn't quite do it for me.
I started with 1mg a day, going onto 0.5 a day now. How long will the effects take to simmer down? I can still get boners easily but I only get fully hard with sex/head. Would you reccomend just doing it every other day or everyday? 0.5 mg
0.5mg of finasteride will nuke your DHT/5ar2 for two days before it even BEGINS to recover. You could take 0.5mg Sunday and Wednesday and it will be functionally identical to taking 1mg per day in terms of how it inhibits those.
However I would also add topical application on the spot since that actually lowers scalp DHT more than oral intake. Based on what I've read topical application lowers it by 70% whereas oral only lowers scalp DHT 50% (lowers serum DHT 70% but actual DHT in the scalp by only 50%).
I can’t get topical fin or min where I am, however I do have oral rogane which I don’t take (don’t want heart attack) could I use the powder in the pills in an oil like coconut or rosemary?
You can literally just mix finasteride into liquid minoxidil for topical fin my dude. Finasteride absorbs into skin really well, it's why pregnant women can't even touch it.
What about rogane?
Rogaine is just brand name minoxidil bruh.
Gotcha, so how much should I put into a wienertail?
30mg of fin in 60ml of min gives you 0.05% solution.
How many drops should I apply for one sitting?
I had a dream I was Norwood III. True nightmare. I have a full head of hair right now and good genetics anyway so I probably won't have to worry about it, but in my dream I got on finasteride. If it's good enough for my subconscious it's good enough for you guys. Or maybe this was a futurama dream advertisement.
>If it's good enough for my subconscious it's good enough for you guys
As silly as this sound I think you cemented my conviction to hop on it.
>Balding is a death sentence for getting girls 18-22 (the only girls that matter).
Also this.
>paranoia about sides
so you didn’t actually notice any sides? just fricking take it as normal if you haven’t. if you’re in the minority whose dick does stop working from fin, it will work again if you stop taking it.
>t. 1mg fin for a year with zero sides
