What Is The Best Treatment For Hair Loss? (Dr Andrew Rynne, Quora)
(H/T: Propecia Kills)
Irish *Family* Planning Association, m’dear.
Feckin’ planners always sticking their oar into other disciplines work!
Well both involve erections.
Easy mistake.
Sounds like a nasty ride
They’d be no more nasty rides after a few months of that stuff.
I’ll see your Finasteride and raise you Roaccutane
I took Roaccutane when I was younger. Didn’t have any side effects. Best thing I’ve ever decided to do.
You’re a lucky man/woman, good for you. I can’t say the same unfortunately, nor can a couple of other people I know. The abundant forums online suggest we are far from alone either, and yet big pharm seems exceedingly good at keeping it on the market and minimising bad press
What were the usual side effects, out of curiosity? The data sheets seem rather vague, in that it can cause nearly any sort of side effect in varying proportions of those who take it.
I took it in my late teens for acne, for about 6 months I think. I remember at the time the stated “risks” were depression and suicidal tendencies. I never got anything more than dry lips from it. Like M, I was delighted with it. My back and neck were really bad, cleared up completely never to return.
I was severely depressed, to the point of writing a ‘goodbye’ note. Thankfully, I had the self-awareness to realise something was wrong and asked for help. At the time, I also read online of many stories relating to suicide, dropping out of university, depression etc. Obviously one could argue for other causes, including the acne itself, but from speaking from my own experience I would tend towards the ‘theres no smoke without fire’ philosophy in this case
It is FDA approved for it though
They approved tobacco too.
What’s you’re point?
They’re not devoid of corruption either… this is a brilliant two mins on the FDA and why it’s a bloody joke.

Also, the FDA often don’t get given all the data from trials, just the stuff that makes the drug look good. Not sure if they have changed that yet or not.
EH why can’t people just go bald with a bit of dignity? first sign of any loss and i would just shave my head and be done with it.
This. Did so at 22, has never bothered me since.
EH why can’t people just go lose their teeth with a bit of dignity? first sign of any tooth decay and i would just smash my teeth out with a hammer and be done with it
You could have them removed by a dentist and replaced with implants very simple but costly, no need for hammer.
yeah, that old male pattern gum disease gets us all in the end..
Easy to say that now, but when you’re deep in it its a lot harder.
Sounds like you’ve dodged the worst of the side effects anyway.
Not at all, shaved head looks cool on anyone. The thing is to own it.
I was wondering where I knew that name from and then I remembered. He was groping my crown jewels around 10 weeks ago :)

Point 5 – Shrinkage of penis and testicles
People suffer that to stop going bald ? Get your priorities right
It’s like you’re deferring the root problem.
I take it and never have a problem. Know another friend too and does not have the issue, none of that. Yes some people have side affects just like any other drug, that’s why it has been tested and if you look at the actual findings those having side affects are very low. It’s fully tested and approved. Just because a low percentage have 1 or 2 of the side affects (rarely all) does not mean drugs don’t get passed.
Yeah, you could shave your head, but not everyone looks good with a shaved head.
He’s also anti-fluoride so…
I woke up in a cold sweat this morning having dreamt that my hair was thinning rather badly. It was quite traumatic, I must say. I can certainly understand why people would go to great lengths to keep their hair.
I’m not sure, Old Boy, some of the sexiest and most attractive men I’ve met have been bald, and I think most men can probably get away with it, particularly as they get older; remember, how you see yourself is not necessarily how others see you.
*pats crown nervously, just to make sure*
Phew!
Yeah i thought the same things like why not go bald? save your money! it’s going to happen anyway but in the end i decided to go for it with little to none expectations. I was already depressed and was taking antidepressants and still continue to do so. I never had much of a libido and wasn’t blessed down there anyway so if somehow it shrinks then it shrinks i will still get by. A couple of months in on it and so far i feel fine and haven’t experienced anything negative yet. I noticed more of a loss of libido when i started taking antidepressants, think i didn’t even watch any porn for a couple of weeks but business as usual now. I cleared it with more than one doctor before taking it and definitely not as depressed as i was and steadily improving. “8. Depression, despair and an increased risk of suicide.” maybe but i know from experience i was more at risk by not seeking help with depression and if you are ever feeling depression despair or have ANY suicidal thought’s what so ever tell someone you care about and talk to your GP.
