25M with Uneven Thinning Despite Oral Minox, Considering PRP and Microneedling

25M and losing ground in the corners, but for some reason its thick to the hairline on one side and thinning much more on the other. I’m hoping they are gonna even out.

Been on topical minoxidil for 6 months and no changes. I tried finasteride and had horrible brain fog and limp dick, got off of it after a week and it took a month to go back to normal. Maybe I’d try topical fin but I really want to stay away from it.

I’m going to buy a microneedling pen(I currently do a stamp every two weeks or so) and try PRP microneedling at a nearby wellness clinic. If I need to stay away from fin, that’s my best option right? I got on saw palmetto and was met with limp dick, and I swear it wasn’t psyco sematic. Also does minox really do anything for the front hairline or am I wasting my time?

i had the same experience with finasteride: even .25 mg 3x a week was enough to cause severe brain fog, headaches, ed, gyno.

i switched to 2x dutasteride a week (stronger than 1mg fin everyday) and have been on for 6 months with no side effects besides better libido. some say it’s due to the molecular chemistry. maybe try dutasteride as lots of people don’t get sides from it but do with fin.
