Androgenic Hair Loss
« on: April 28, 2008, 06:04:45 PM »
I would like to know your experience regarding hair loss/thinning as a side effect from androgens?

How long did it take to form and dissipate (if it did), was it reversible, and is it only reversible to some degree, e.g. when it's just thinning slightly?

ive never used tren, but i have heard alot of people say it is harsh on your hairline.  Once your hair starts to go, you cant stop it unless it is due to excess dht at the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme which finasteride can halt.

things like tren, dbol etc. go through a different receptor than the 5-alpha-reductase, hence finasteride is useless for hairloss associated with those drugs.

finasteride will keep you in the clear w/ test that is for sure, although whether or not an extremely high dose of test (i.e. 2grams/week) will make finasteride useless has not been determined yet I dont think.

Yes.  It will speed up hair loss.  However, I've noticed the changes aren't too bad for myself.  It all depends on the hair genetics.

All anti-e's and AI's do harm to my hair, make it fall out like a fucker, avoid them, I haven't noticed any AAS that make my hair fall out.  Nolva fucks up my hair, thinning.

I am 46 and have been using hair growth products, i.e, proscar, nizoral, spriolactone, etc.  I also use a product called Proxiphern made by a Dr. Proctor in Texas.  It has stopped my loss even when on 1500mg per week. buy the 5mg proscar and quarter them it is much cheaper.  Get the generic brand from india they work the same.  I have had my psa checked several times and it is low so I  know the proscar is gtg.  I take 1.25 mg per day, use Nizoral or Nano shampoo daily and use dr. proctor's product every other day.  As I said no bald spot at vertex just a little recession but that is probably due to my age as well.
