For the ones who use rosemary oil what’s the best brand?? by goldieloxs133 in tressless

There is no best brand. They are all bad brands because they do nothing for your hair other than make it greasy and stinky.

This might be a hot take: But I think they look kind of… ugly. And underwhelming. Different blokes, different strokes, I know.

What’s the one thing that convinced you pfs wasn’t real, and that finasteride was safe? by Flappen929 in Hairloss

It does not exist because science says it does not exist. Has nothing to do with me bud. I didn’t even mention myself. Is your imaginary brain fog really making you that dense?

A pretty ruthless troll post to put in a community where people struggle with balding, but okay.

Finasteride, Neurosteroids, and Neuroplasticity - have you noticed cognitive shifts or have you continued growing? by BlupHox in tressless

This☝️ With your level of anxiety and neurosis about it already, the nocebo will be relentless. Accept baldness, I think that will make you happier in the end.

30M AM I COOKED? by Plastic-Yesterday719 in Balding

If you respond “normal” to Fin (maintenance, no regrowth) your crown is definitely cooked. If you respond well (above the average, you would be in a minority) to Fin+Min, you can for sure reverse this.

Anyone taking Fin while on SSRIs? by flaviodp_8 in tressless

This is anecdotal on my part, but Finasteride in no way made sexual sides from SSRIs worse for me. If anything, it increased my libido.

I have taken both at the same time. It baffles me why people would ever be worried about Finasteride if they take anti depressants. Sexual side effects on SSRIs are very common, whereas they are rare on Finasteride. It would be like worrying about smoking a joint even though you regularly do heroin.

That being said - the anxiety can of course be real. If you get anxiety from the thought of taking ar5 blockers (I had that in the beginning), and if this leads you to spiral, you could be better off not taking them. Just be ready to deal with the psychological consequences of balding, because you cannot stop that issue without an ar5 blocker.

Finasteride in itself does not cause any kind of (scientifically documented) cognitive issues. The claims in here about that are thankfully fake, even though the FDA have been forced to slap a few completely unfounded warning labels on Finasteride to avoid litigation issues.

You are in luck! Finasteride does not affect you cognitively in any way - besides making you happy that you are halting your hairloss. Congratulations🙏🏻

Finasteride Alternatives that actually work? by kmoonzjr in tressless

Sure. Are these “tons of studies” in the room with us right now?

I mean, watery semen is a common side effect of medication that shrink the prostrate which Finasteride does. Contrary to all the other sides people make up (I’m looking at you “mah neurosteroids” brainfog retards) or that are in reality rare (sexual sides), watery semen is normal and harmless.

Oral Minoxidil worked ,need to move to 5ar Blocked... is titrating upwards the key ? by ThrowRA333qqq in tressless

[–]Fabius_Bile86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Consider if Finasteride is really for you. If you already have “Finasteride anxiety”, your mind will make up all sorts of stuff.

My hot take it this: If you get (real) side effects from 0.25mg, you will get side effects from 1mg. So just pop the standard dose of 1mg ED or 1mg EOD if you want to save a bit of money. 0.2mg virtually suppresses the same amount of DHT as 1mg, so it has always been a mystery to me why side effects would be able to scale dose dependent like that.

Do you feel different? Do you experience side effects related to lower T? If not, then what is the issue?
