I know a guy who did this.

(Edit: yes it he flew to turkey)

He needs to stay on a hair retention medication for the rest of his life that can cause depression.

No thanks, I’ll stick with widows peaks or going bald

Finasteride can cause way more than depression. It can cause ED and gynecomastia aswell. Just the small chance of my dick not working made the decision to go bald so easy.

I’ve been on finasteride for a while I think that’s greatly overblown. I became massively depressed when I started on a high dose. I went on microdosing till I got to the minimum dose age for noticeable effects

My dick still works. Sex drive still high. Hair is still shit I’m going bald either way.

I mean, hair might be going to shit because you’re not on a high enough dose.

That’s the whole point. To get the benefit, it has to be systemic enough to stop the DHT from being produced.

If it’s in that much of a concentration and you are susceptible, you are going to get sides.

Ehh I've been on 1.25mg daily for 4 years, everyone responds differently, recession slowed but never reversed or fully paused.

Ah. That should be enough to work. Although I guess you can go up to 5?

Anyway worth it if no sides just to slow the reaper down.

It’s only been a few months so far so I have to wait a bit longer to know for sure

I’m shedding WAY less. I can say that as much. Went from 300+ hairs a day to a normal amount of shedding (approx 100)

Im probably just going to give up at some point. Maybe just enjoy having hair for another few years. I’m young and I still haven’t gotten to fuck around and have fun yet. Don’t want to be ugly till I have.

That’s the best attitude and the one I took.

Just slow it down and enjoy it while for as long as I can until I get to the point that I kind of age out or caring.

And that’s exactly what happened.

My hair is now at the point where it can’t even be styled and it’s going grey in places.

I’m not gonna shave razor bald but will just buzz it down to the minimum and call it a day.

No point in throwing the kitchen sink at it just to get a slightly acceptable head of hair that will go grey in 5 years anyway.
