Hi wondering if anyone could discuss whether they have had any side effects, especially any sexually related 1s??


Would be much appreciated

thanks

yea ive been on it 2 months and noticed a lower sex drive after probably about 2 weeks.. thats all really though and its not such a big problem.

Dr Ashcroft told me on the phone that chances are the side effects will go away after so long anyway and the drug will continue to work..

I've had none whatsoever

So you guys haven't experienced the shedding stage?

Stories about that are what put me off trying Propecia/proscar/finasteride. If you shed, does the shed hair grow back?

I also heard this stuff is good for the crown but does nothing for the front of the head. Does anyone have any stories/views/before and after pics or links?

If I decide to try this I'd prefer to be armed with as much knowledge as possible first.

What about having children when on Propecia. I've heard that as women can't take they drug if she gets pregrant from a man using propecia there is an increased chance that the child (if a certain sex - can't remember which) will be born with a defect due to Propecia.



Not sure if this is medical fact, maybe worth checking out...

To be honest, i lost some interest in sex, started growing small breasts which thank f*&k have now gone! And my hair continued to drop out, faster if anything, i was just receeding at the front, and the crown started (while on these). I suggest put your health and hormones before your hair, its not worth pi**ing around with your pituitary gland for the chance that your balding "MAY" be slowed down very, very slightly, and personally i dont believe for a second one person on earth has grew hair back from them...may not be very popular for saying so but there you go...

Had the normal side effects after about 3-4 weeks,but ride it through give yourself 4-6 weeks and the body will adjust and be back to normal in no time.

The will be a shedding effect it is good thing though,you will gain back the shedd hair,it will come back stronger and thicker,you can have 1 2 or 3 shedds a year it depends on how you react to it,most people will just have the 1,the thing with pro/fin/pros is it stops further hair loss,yes you will grow some of your lost hair back but not all,the main thing is your hair loss should/will stop.
I have been on pro for over 4 years and had no problems,its stopped my hair loss and i have gained some back,on the advice of Spex i switched to dut 2 months ago (from DR A) and i am having some great results with it.

How much you pay for the dut? By Dr A you mean ashcroft?

Cheers

TT yes DR Ashcroft,£300 for 6 months supply not cheap i know but thought i would give it a go for at least 6 months,so far so good.
