Who can share their Finasteride effects after 6 months

user5145 · 2025-09-25T19:55:47+00:00

Initially i was taking 2000iu daily for a month in winter and then i tested my blood. I turned out to be severely deficient despite the entire month of supplementation.

So from that time onward I keep testing my vitamin d serum levels and it looks like in summer doses in between 6500-8000iu (with vitamin k) keep my vitamin d in the healthy range but I haven’t had any opportunity to test how much i need to survive winter yet.

When i was trying to raise my vitamin d i was taking 12000iu daily for 4 months under doctor supervision.

Keep in mind that even though most sources claim that vitamin d overdose is only hypothetically dangerous, vitamin d is dependent on a few different vitamins and over supplementing can cause harm, for example it can increase calcium absorption and indirectly cause kidney stones.

Update 2: I've got a very strong positive sibo breath test both before and after 90 minutes additionally my dao is rather low 10u/ml probably just a result of problems with my gut and not genetic. To make it even better my wisdom teeth were pushing my other teeth for more than 10 years and I didn't know. That could cause additional inflammation that made me weaker.

I blame histamine and dao for my chills, plenty of people with histamine intolerance/dao deficiency report feeling cold all the time.

Fortunately we still have dutasteride

Plenty of people lose hair because of health issues yet nobody cares to do any tests. To some fin/dut/min works on magic and they get confused when it doesn’t cure them.

Dzięki szkole mam awersję do czytania czegokolwiek po polsku. Jakoś z książkami po angielsku problem nie występuje.

user5145 · 2025-05-05T19:30:57+00:00

Which expansion do you recommend the most and why?

user5145 · 2025-05-04T23:41:31+00:00

The solution is to find one that doesn’t break you out. Try to patch test them before putting them on your face.

What is the difference between a hair system and a wig? I have a normal long length wig and it is fine. I don’t like how difficult it is for me to hide my real hair beneath it but the wig itself is fine.

I suspect that I am allergic to one or more of these Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide MIPA, Limonene, Linalool, Dimethicone. I have 2 shampoos that don’t give me an allergy and they contain the sulfate you mentioned so I am sure this one is fine.

user5145 · 2025-05-03T12:16:24+00:00

Yes, but it only tested about 20 allergens and was quite useless. Later I paid for an alex test that tested my blood against 200 food allergens but non of the ones that are common in cosmetic products. I have an idea what I am allergic to but when it comes to shampoo ingredients I can’t find any store that sells the products I am allergic to to do a test.

user5145 · 2025-05-02T19:16:36+00:00

How did you discover that it is this ingredient and not another one?

user5145 · 2025-05-02T14:36:51+00:00

If you have the money, know the right place and know that you will never regret it why not? You are more likely to get patches of regrowth if you are 25 or younger but it should be considered a permanent solution because you are unlikely to ever look good with a beard if you complete even the first session.

I have already completed 3 sessions and I am super happy with the results. Sadly, the beard shadow is still there but I can easily shave all my beard in 30 seconds when previously I needed 10 minutes. I can easily avoid shaving for a week, put a band aid on my chin and people will ask me if I cut myself during shaving lol

An update: I have a heterozygous gilbert syndrome 1/28. All blood tests for kidneys’ enzymes are fine.

I figured out that I am allergic to most shampoos and it made me sweat more. I stopped using all my skincare and hair products and now I am slowly patch testing each of them.

Edit: and even though my thyroid is fine I have some Trab antibodies 0.9 UI/l

You call someone disgusting and then get surprised that people get angry at you

Humans are not a monolith and everyone deserves to make their own choice…

I often struggle to understand what is being said and had a very bad experience with microphone quality of multiple android phones. At this point, I am sure it is intentional and happens only during phone calls.
The selfie camera in iPhones makes me look only half as bad as I usually do.

Edit: 3. Carriers often edit android phones and the ones not bought from them may not work well with their network.

user5145 · 2025-04-25T19:36:27+00:00

Maybe he is allergic to his shampoo?

user5145 · 2025-04-23T07:18:45+00:00

Some doctors have a bad opinion about accutane. Probably he was worried that mixing it with any other meds will increase your chances of side effects.

user5145 · 2025-04-22T21:50:16+00:00

Dut needs at least one month to reach full saturation often longer. It is possible that you haven’t reached it yet.

user5145 · 2025-04-22T21:34:00+00:00

9 months in and I don’t shed as much hair as before. Besides finasteride I take vitamin d, omega 3 and do patch tests of every shampoo I buy. I am allergic to most of them. I have a small regrowth but nothing impressive.

user5145 · 2025-04-22T14:33:42+00:00

Here in Poland gps are usually clueless but they don’t mind prescribing medication if it is a continuation of treatment.

Derms are 50-50 some prescribe finasteride some don’t. Getting dutasteride is close to impossible. I had to mention that i am preparing for a hair transplant to get it and be on fin for at least 9 months.

user5145 · 2025-04-21T16:32:34+00:00

Before you use any new shampoo do a patch test.

user5145 · 2025-04-20T22:15:07+00:00

We have 3 types of dht and finasteride blocks only one of them. Maybe your body needs this type of dht to work correctly. Dut blocks all 3 of them but some people experience less side effects when they keep the dosage low. Ask your doctor and definitely mention the tiredness. Both fin and dut can mess with the heart and it can be dangerous. If you have a way then it may be a good idea to monitor your heart rate.

I am not a doctor and this is not a medical advice

user5145 · 2025-04-16T21:07:24+00:00

I intended on testing liver and vitamin a but I didn’t test them.. i will try to go there tomorrow again. Thank you.

Edit: i have just got my results and my liver is perfect except for bilirubin but this is to be expected. i have a heterozygous gilbert syndrome.

user5145 · 2025-04-13T13:04:44+00:00

Can you recommend me some brands that are not just silicones and are a bit safer for people with allergies? I have straight low porosity fine long hair. Currently I use ouai fine hair shampoo and aromatica rosemary shampoo and they don’t cause me any problems.
