Topical Finasteride? Depression? Q/A

[Patro1995]

Hi, I am one and a half years after the transplant, the transplanted hair is thin and you can see the differences between the natural ones. there are empty spaces in between too. I only have the transplants in the bends, I'm afraid that the center of my head will fall out, because I didn't have a transplantation there. I know finasteride is the best, I already have a bottle of topical 00.25% with trichosol, but I'm afraid to start because I used to be depressed and still im neurotic. Is it true that I can get depressed after? or lowering emotions? or are they just people who get busy writing stuff like that? Could someone motivate me and give me some confidence? I'm also thinking of adding minoxidil to thicken this skinny hair, thanks for the advice and please help out as I need hair.

You should really be asking your hair transplant doctor these questions. Most claim there is less chance of sides using topical Finasteride but there is still the possibility of getting them. Regardless of what people say, depression has been reported as a side. It’s a small percentage of users but you wo t know unless you try it. Another option could be oral minoxidil. Ask your HT doctor about it and do some research on it.
Without meds, there’s a good chance your hair loss will continue.

I have not suffered any sides from Finasteride. Speaking to a doctor about your concerns is the best way forward.
