at 4 months you COULD see physical effects of finasteride acting on the hair but, it can take up to a year to see results. I would suggest to continue the treatment if you are still fully aware of the side effects and prepared to face them. If you see no improvement, consult to whoever prescribed you it. Honestly, I would go and consult with the provider now, since at 4months you should see somewhat of an improvement.

could be many things

could be a shed and u regrow thicker hair now

or u are one of the few unlucky people who are balding because of T and not DHT, then u need an anti androgen like RU or pyriluatmide or CB

4 months isn’t enough?
nope, and while most of your hair is in anagen, theres a sizeable minority of hair in later cycles that might shed which may give u the impression of hair loss

wait a year theres no way ur hair doesnt get better on fin if u have mpb

Takes atleast a year to see noticeable results and 2 years for maximum results, dont expect to get to nw0, fin can only maintain at worst and give regrowth at best case scenario, if you really want good regrowth hop on dutasteride

or fin + antiandrogen + minox/tretinoin + dermarolling + prp

dut blocks both dht1 and dht2 which is not good imo

If your below the age of 25 and are balding, chances are you have aggressive balding and your gonna end up nw3+, so its better to take the chance with dut, it will save you lot of donor hair from getting wasted if you end up doing a transplant in the future, plus dut also helps in preventing collagen loss as well so thats a plus.
The sides are managable in my opinion and its worth the downsides, if you get a weak erection you can just pop viagra, but hair once lost is gone forever in most cases.

why would the donor area be gone? its hair that is dht resistant

dht plays a bigger role than just erection quality and even here viagra does not help for the majority of people who get bad erections from fin/dut

More hair loss = more donor required was what I meant,
You are correct about dht playing a bigger role, but most of it is mental and can be managed i.e its not really dangerous, you get used to the change in mood over time as your body adjusts to the low dht levels

Is your hair diffusing or receding or both?
It might be time for DUT,

ru, pyrilutamide, cb, euphacil/fluridil are some that come to my mind

prp = u inject ur own blood which helps for hairloss for some people

Is a sign of balding due to T itchy scalp when excercising/sex/mastrubation and fin not working

No that's DHT
Does dht raise during excercise? To my knowledge it doesn’t tbh. There’s a slight spike in dht during intercourse/mastrubation, however prolactin spikes like 400% I believe and returns to baseline after 2 weeks.

nah thats just an overall sign of balding or just a scalp infection, try ketazolin/nizoral

finasteride and other anti-dht work ONLY for moderate cases of alopecia.. for a person with aggressive MPB ( NW6 ), finasteride will only slow down the balding process, but he will lose all his hair anyway...

Been on nizoral for 5 years already, helps control the itch as long as i don’t fap or eat foods high in sugar or junk food. My scalp itch is basically gone on a 15+ day nofap streak.

I'd wait till the 6/8 month mark and if it's still getting worse go on DUT
how much dut should I take, i’m on 1mg fin eod rn but im gonna up the dose to 1mg ed next month (hoping I won’t get sides)
 
Wait wot. There's a specific diet you gotta follow when on Fin?
u should do as much for health as possible to avoid sides

eat healthy with good fats and protein on a caloric surplus, dont fap as often, dont watch porn, lift weights, take vitamin d+k2, magnesium, zinc etc

No I didn’t mean that, I mean eating healthy and boosting your test enough to be healthy.

I had really bad depression and suicidal thoughts due to low T and low DHT, johnson stopped working and felt like shit overall.

I was starving myself and drinking alcohol every weekend and smoking and eating junk and not training.

Had to fix diet, slow down smoking and stopped drinking, got back to the gym and did some stuff to boost my T and now everything is back to normal.

But it’s really something that you need to focus on when using DHT blockers, If I let myself go for 1/2 weeks i’ll get those sides again.

It’s a never ending battle

will start minox soon, i’m just scared of the initial shred
I was fucking scared too. But there were two weeks were slightly more hairs went out at the shower but zero difference in the appearance. The internet is always full of horror storys.

Just google finasteride bro, u would think everyone suffer from ED after taking the pill once.

I started taking it orally. I bought the solution for women with 2% strength. First two weeks one drop. Then two weeks two drops. Then 1 drop of the 5% liquid and after two weeks two drops from the 5%.


Maybe I avoided the shedding this way.

True, I legit think I ruined my hair by fapping for so long
My hair was my best feature
Still not over since I’m on fin and take caber occasionally but I really need to focus on these streaks

I think that my fapping/porn is the reason for my balding since 14 all over the scalp+ receding hairline. I have no mpb in my family before 50/60s traced back 4 generations. Baldest guy is my grandfather with a nw2.5 and a bald spot at the back at 75. Everyone else is between nw0-nw2

I was on fin/dut for 2/3 years didn’t do nothing. My hair only thickens on nofap and my scalp itch subsides even when i eat garbage.
