5 / 104 resultscommunity 4600 - result 9 month - Dr. Carman
A user shared their 9-month post-hair transplant results with 4600 grafts, using only Nourkin hair vitamins, Vitamin D, and B12, and expressed satisfaction. The replies debated the necessity of medications like finasteride and minoxidil for maintaining hair health.
community Hair Loss Associated with Escitalopram (anti-depressant). Do SSRIs Affect the Hair Follicle?
A 22-year-old male experienced hair loss potentially linked to escitalopram, which stopped after switching to vortioxetine. His depressive symptoms improved with continued treatment.
community Finasteride affects both 5a reductase and 5b reductase
Finasteride not only inactivates the 5a reductase enzyme but also affects the 5b reductase enzyme in a dose-dependent manner, which can impact sexual behavior and brain activity. The user experienced significant hair regrowth and side effects on 1mg of finasteride, which diminished after reducing the dose to 0.5mg, leading to no side effects and further hair improvement.
community What is the real impact of dutasteride on neurosteroids? A little review of 2 scientific datas
Dutasteride at 0.5 mg/day does not significantly alter allopregnanolone levels, but higher doses (2.5 mg/day) do. Dutasteride may also have anti-neuroinflammatory effects, but the impact on neurosteroids is still debated.
community I've been afraid to start Finasteride treatment for 5 years, on it for 2 weeks, regret that hadn't started it earlier and here's my story
A 28-year-old male, losing hair since his teens, started taking 0.31 mg finasteride daily for two weeks with no side effects and regrets not starting earlier. He tried various treatments like minoxidil, scalp massages, and vitamins but found finasteride most effective.
