    Serum testosterone levels do not directly affect the scalp. It is the converted testosterone to DHT that affects the scalp hairs. Finasteride partially blocks that conversion. Because of that blocking testosterone gets higher in the system, usually along with estrogen. But that is serum testosterone. Not even free...could be bound to SHBG.

    @@Northdallasguy00 Regarding the lower sex drive I tried to think of every reason besides Fin. Eventually I bit the bullet and quit Fin for over a month, libido rose up, better sustainable erection quality, and it just felt more enjoyable. Since I'm at a point of hardly having any hair to lose I tested getting off of Fin and going back about 3 times and each time I had experienced a similar result. Oh and I tried quite a few supplements, and I am a very fit and active person, yada yada.. none of it seemed to have helped as much as simply getting off of Fin. Funnily enough I smoked some of the cheapest weed on my birthday recently and that actually made my libido go very high for a few hours even while on Fin, lol. Other than that I don't smoke and very rarely do weed.

I'm mostly dealing with thinning hair and don't really see any patches. I started getting worried because I noticed my crown thinning a bit which I've never had before. But I mean multiple strands of hair come out in my hands and comb when brushing. What could I be doing wrong? Could fin just not be working for me?

I'd like to give Dut a last ditch effort try, but at the same time I'm worried because fin already impacts my libido and erection quality to a certain degree so I can't imagine what it'd be like on Dut. I've seen another user on reddit tressless that had good success switching to Dut but he also suffered libido/ED problems but since he got on TRT he says he's fine now. So yah, it seems a little far fetched for me to have to get on TRT to off set any libido issues caused by Fin/Dut. edit: it seems like I'm always shedding, it never ends. I'm a diffuse thinner tho, so the hair just comes back thinner and thinner.

    Question to the public: i have been taking 1 mg every day for about 3 - 4 years now. I for sure notice decreases in libido and some ED. My hair has not gotten any worse in that time , and possibly has gotten better. But i personally feel it can cause a bit of depression considering you have little drive to seek out a partner then if you do you have the paranoia of not everything working when the time comes. Has anyone else experienced the same feelings? I dont necessarily want to stop taking it because im single and would like to keep my hair but the double edge sword to this is really a problem. Wondering if i should take a few months off and or change my dosing/schedule.
