Follow-up to the Finesteride Story

[Carolyn Marie]

Seems like the whole thing is more complicated that originally thought.

I had a rather sarcastic attitude about the first story I posted about this transwoman. I owe her an apology. I am sorry.

Remember what I said previously, Carolyn? That Mandi was a "latent" transsexual and the drug somehow enhanced this? It sure looks that way from this article.

Would it be a bad idea to take Finasteride or Propecia for hair loss?

I would ask your MD for advise on that issue.

After 1 year of taking finasteride with my other HRT, I have only seen marginal results, and I don't think it helped me much at all. Probably just going to let it go. I had no negative issues, that I can detect, it's just did not work very well for me.

I hope this person in the law suit just solves their issue(s). Too much litigation in this world causes us all to spend more on health care.

Thanks.

I've taken Finasteride for 4 months and have seen quite a bit of regroth. Most changes seem to take time, but if you can remember what you started with, it helps your mood. Does that sound a little blonde? I'm feeling a little blonde I think.......

I have regrown a hundred hairs I can see in the last year. I have been taking minoxidil, and that should be a go-to OTC med consideration for MtF. It works a little bit for almost everyone and comes up about 100$ a year for my limited treatment area.

A few more hairs have started regrowing since I started HT(including finasteride- a modified dose of proscar.) Would they have come back without the finasteride? I have no idea...
