Ben, Why don't you focus on reducing your stress level? Your anxiety about any head movement should be the top of your list. I wonder if stress related hair loss will be changed by finasteride. Messing with body chemistry when you have unresolved stress sound risky.
Even if finasteride stops your hair loss, your stress will ruin your life. Having a head full of hair will not improve a life full of stress. What women want to babysit a boyfriend who melts down every time he bounces in bed?

No. I think your high stress level is contributing to your hair thinning. Keep your stress and anxiety high and nothing will stop your hair loss.

I would say using finasteride is potentially problematic. Inhibiting the enzyme in question will not just reduce DHT, but the production of many different neurosteroids, such as allopregnanolone which modulates GABA. This may be why finasteride users get insomnia, rage, anxiety etc.
Someone with a TBI is already struggling with at least some of these things most times. So I would advise against using this drug. Allopregnanolone - Wikipedia Allopregnanolone possesses a wide variety of effects, including, in no particular order, antidepressant, anxiolytic, stress-reducing, rewarding,[10] prosocial,[11] antiaggressive,[12] prosexual,[11] sedative, pro-sleep,[13] cognitive, memory-impairment, analgesic,[14] anesthetic, anticonvulsant, neuroprotective, and neurogenic effects.[4] Fluctuations in the levels of allopregnanolone and the other neurosteroids seem to play an important role in the pathophysiology of mood, anxiety, premenstrual syndrome, catamenial epilepsy, and various other neuropsychiatric conditions. |
