lankys propecia log/review

[lanky]

next week is my appointment with the doc,,,my main concern so far is the fat gain around my midsection that has occured in only 4 months,,another important concern is the cost of this drug @approx $80 a month (keep in mind you have to take this drug for life) 80 a month x 12 months a year= 960 doll hairs a year...960 x 40 more years left on my life if im lucky= $38,000(that is if the drug does not go up in price because it has allready increased by $5 since i have been on it.....hoping by that time they will have more effective/less costly treatment options for mpb.

went to md's, got script for 90 day supply,,forgot to get bloodwork ordered,,,my gut continues to grow,,no new hair yet,,strength the same, libido the same

 

[lanky]

90 day supply was $217 @ wallmart,,,still have the gut,,bodyfat has increased,,no real change in diet or weight training,,strength still the same,,feel less pumped though during my workouts..a few strands of hair seem a little thicker in the temporal area than a few months back, maybe its my imagination..,,libido is down slightly...credit card is hurting

All my medical problems have followed finasteride usage (headaches, mental fog etc). I'm not sure whether there is a connection, but this year I got my testosterone checked and it was 1.6 - basically the lowest u'd ever see from someone who still physically looks normal.

I haven't been on it for 2 years and have retained all of my regrown hair (I took it in 2005-7). All very odd as your meant to lose any regrown hair ASAP

I've been using DS labs Revita Shampoo for the last 6-7 weeks and I just started their topical spray Spectral DNC. I can say since starting the Revita shampoo my hair appears thicker and is not shedding. I started the topical the same time as Beastdrol (known to eat hair) and I am not shredding at all. I am very happy with the Shampoo and I will continue to use it. I will use the topical only while on andros. DS recommends using each product twice a day and so far I'm using each only once. They are worth looking into....

Thanks for the info on that. I'm using Nizoral 2% E2D and Nioxin Shampoo in between. Been going well so far. Maybe I could replace one of those with Revita? Then Spectral when using andros?

Thanks.

Maybe the Nioxin shampoo shampoo?

I've never used Nizoral or Nioxin, but I've heard a lot of good things about them. They seem to be highly recommended in the juicy juic world.

The Revita is just a great shampoo imo. I keep my hair short...so there's not much to wash and I still have 1/2 bottle after 6-7 weeks usage. They recommend washing your hair twice per shower with the Revita and I'm only washing once to make it last....

how come you switched from proscar to propecia? isnt propecia and finasteride the same thing?

about a year and a half ago i did a preliminary 1 month log on PROSCAR(5mg finasteride) cut into 4 sections..approx 1.25mg daily,,,this was just done for fun and/or to see if any side effect was intollerable to me if i decided to go on long term use.

propecia is 1mg finasteride..fda approved dosage for hairloss

proscar is 5mg finasteride... used to treat enlarged prostate

there is insignificant differences in supression of the level of circulating DHT if you take 1mg or 5mg of finasteride (approx 70% reduction of DHT)

though 5mg was shown to reduce prostate size in people with enlarged prostate

it is even noted that dosages of 0.5mg and lower(if i recall corectly) was very effective in reducing DHT levels
