[QUOTE="Seth, post: 241364, member: 41179"] Thank you for your response. I appreciate your viewpoints and personal experience. I began using TRT about 8 years ago. I was feeling depressed and listless. I've had been working out regularly for many years, but found it was getting harder and harder to do go. It's like I was getting weaker. I was also starting to put on belly fat, despite exercise and watching my diet. Also, my libido was beginning to wane. When I described this to my doctor, he tested my hormones and found they were on the low side. Not extremely low, but on the low side of normal. So I began taking TRT and Cialis and started feeling much better. Workouts became easier, I began losing belly fat and putting on more muscle and my erections were frequent and strong. I felt so much better. Later, I added in HCG and Anastrozole as my estrogen was too high. I have discontinued the later and seem to be maintaining normal estrogen levels. When I started to lose my hair, it was sudden and devastating for me. I know many men just accept it, but it threw me into a major state of depression. My dermatologist suggested Propecia and Minoxidil so I stated taking it. My hair loss stopped and within months, it began to grow back in thick and full. I was very happy and my doctor was amazed at how well it was working for me, so I continued to take it and have for over 20 years. I read about the possible side effects, but from what I read, they only occurred in less than 4% of men, so it wasn't like a situation where a high percentage of men had problems. This seemed like a fairly safe bet to me. Like I mentioned, taking Testosterone also causes negative side effects for some men. Nothing is risk free. I can understand your opposition to using Finasteride, but for men, it wasn't just a cosmetic issue, it was affecting my me from a psychological standpoint. From self esteem to depression. I know a lot of guys suck it up and deal with it, but I doubt any of them are happy about losing their hair. I still wonder about the blood pressure medicine as a possible factor, as my use of it seems to coincide with the problem. It's not listed as a possible side effect, but the coincidence is concerning. Curious if you have tried any other drugs or remedies for your own hair loss? [/QUOTE]
