literally experienced 0 sides & its been 2 months. I'm starting to worry that generic fin is somehow less effective than propecia.

Give it 6 months for results atleast. Most places I see say there is no difference between the two. Lifefuel btw if u got no sides. Age?

There is no difference.

yeah slightly, hairline/ temples haven't changed but hair density has decreased all over scalp. I've caught it now though so hoping it'll improve.

yeah logically it makes sense that theyre identical, but hairlosstalk forum users have reported one being more effective than the other etc.

around 3 months in, I also used nizoral as well, before that I was shedding hair like crazy and had a massive redness and inflamation all over, now I barely lose any hair even if I rub my scalp intensly, it hasn't regrown much of the hairline (I'm norwood 2 so it makes sense) but it made the edges of the hairline thicker

it is what it is.
I've seen eyes, his bones are insane, if you mog him you'r an Ogre T

Nice, sounds like you had scalp irritation of some kind before. Glad it worked for you.

 

[GenericChad1444]

OP are you diffuse thinning or MPB? I'm praying once I get on fin it thickens my hair at the front up

 

[Deleted member 1862]

It's diffuse but that doesn't mean its not mpb, there's other patterns besides norwood scale.

Yeah I'm just in it for the increased density too but so far nothing's changed. Been browsing hairlosstalk (might've been a mistake) & there's people saying fin doesn't work/ makes it worse/ it's over regardless if you start noticing shit in your 20s

Same, I really need that increased density, feeling the air through my scalp is pure suifuel and it's becoming impossible to style my hair since it's getting all whispy and seperated. And don't browse hairloss talk, it's full of blue-pilled idiots who scaremonger fin on purpose so others don't take it

I'd say fin is a good shout. Hop on & go from there.

my dad's male side is very bad balding genetics

my moms male side is ok balding genetics, my moms father norwooded till nw2 and stopped there for rest of his life. im norwood 0.5 atm as ive been all my life and noticed some recession so im contemplating fin

but again its such a hard decision cuz id be fine if it stopped at nw2 and would rather cope with hairsryles etc instead of dealing with PFS and sides

but if its my dads thing, i need to hop on asap. its a coinflip

I'm in a similar boat. My mom's side has good hair genetics, my dad's side is OK (gradual balding after 30) but not great.

It's really hard to gauge it on this alone.

Again, I think fin sides are pretty overblown in all honesty. It's a vocal minority.

In your case (assuming you're 20+) I'd get a pill cutter & start taking .25mg fin. You can track your progress & keep note of any sides, then if the situation calls for you to up your dose you can do so.

 

[GenericChad1444]

OP where did u get ur fin from? did a dermatologist prescribe u or did u buy it online?

got it from an online pharmacy, but it's a government approved source. I'm going to try getting a prescription from a derm cus it'll be cheaper

go get your scalp looked at by a trichologist, if you have no miniaturization on the crown, you're most likely safe for 1-2 decades.

The side effects are overblown yeah. But you're almost definitely gonna experience side effects on finasteride. It's gonna be a lot more difficult to get your dick hard. I even find mild degrees of that side effect on Stinging Nettle Root. Inhibiting 5AR is gonna do that to you unfortunately.

interesting, this is just making me doubt my finasteride more tbh. Maybe i'll switch to propecia.

should I have experienced some sides by now (~ 2 months)?

Propecia is just a brand name for fin.

If you're taking it already for 2 months and not noticing sides then that's great!
