I take 5mg of oral min and it worked for awhile, but after getting on TRT for low T, I noticed the subsequent DHT increase definitely was giving me andro hair loss. Tried oral fin and within 3 days I started feeling depressed, my sex drive tanked, it was hell. Took a half mg 3xs a week and it was still a lot.
I went to topical fin but my old PCP put it in for 0.25% which is WAY stronger than I asked for and studies show that concentration of tropical actually ends up decreasing serum DHT by as much as a 5mg tablet (and 1mg is the "standard MPB dose)! Which is insane!!!
So I stopped that last year and when I started seeing my new PCP (who's the shit honestly) he told me to think about what concentration i'd prefer and he'd send it in. After much research, I kept seeing a concentration of 0.005% Fin topical is enough to decrease SCALP DHT w/ a very negligible decrease in serum levels.
I'll be picking that up soon, and I'll report back!
I havent cuz I figured since it's more potent at DHT blockade that it'd make me feel as bad or worse than the fin I was doing.
What were u on before oral duta ?
