I have this assumption because I used to frequent this forum, and I know how it perceives those at propeciahelp.com. When I first posted here, people that claimed to have significant side effects were often ridiculed. Even still there are plenty of people who just refuse to believe some...

yeah I literally recall laughing when I read someone complaining about this 2+ years ago when I started finasteride. I'm not laughing anymore. My opinion of propecia has taken a complete 180, just as it will for other guys here (although a minority).

Mew and 3pm are the only ones who regularly post here because most other victims don't give 2 shits about hairloss anymore and spend more time looking into possible fixes. They just post here to give propecia a more balanced image amid all the propecia groupies. I personally came to this site...

oh sh*t, jayman's back. but anyway it seems unreasonable to assume that men are balding any earlier now than they were 10, 20, 50 years ago. All I know is that ever since i realized I'm losing it, I'm quite aware of other young men losing it. mind's eye, baby.

I can vouch for 20 year olds losing their hair, it sucks and is definitely a different game than losing it at 30+. I mean I realized I was losing my hair less than a year after losing my virginity haha. I can't even legally drink yet. I applaud your optimism though, we could use more of it on...

I agree that when compared to the clinical tests done by what generally seem to be legitimate sources, internet testimonials don't pack quite the same punch. I'll admit that I probably discriminated against those testimonials myself until I exhibited some similar problems. But it wasn't the...

OK this thread has pretty much been tapped of all usefullness. For some reason die-hard propecia enthusiasts just refuse to believe that perfectly sane people can have significant sides, and act as the sheep of the pharmaceutical industry. "Merck says only 2% of people have any side...

Yeah this happened to me on like 3 occasions. I don't know whether it really was the finasteride or if it was all in my head, but I def got hornier. back then I was still horny anyway, but not taking it for 2-3 days gave me a boost. like bubka says dht takes awhile to leave your system, but...

Well if you are depressed, then of course that can definitely have an impact. From my own personal experience my libido was not affected by mild/moderate depression, it was only when I sunk very low that my libido dropped. You can always quit finasteride for a week and see how that helps. If you...

I believe you have already made this statement in this thread.

honestly even if we do assume that the side effects are more severe than 2% when taking 1mg of finasteride a day, I would still recommend you take .25mg a day, or even every other day. .2mg is i believe 70% as effective as 1mg, and considering it's out of your system in about a day, there seems to be...

haha I've probably researched this issue on the internet waaay too much for my mental well-being already, and yes there are men who have experienced similar problems. Of course, some of them ARE crazy, but many claims seem perfectly legitimate. v**** would be interesting to try, but maybe a...

I'd definitely agree that this site is far too skewed to make any realistic conclusions about the real % of people with side effects, but it should be taken into consideration. not everyone here is insane.

check this out, it's an interesting read: http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2002/102_drug.html I hope I'm not giving the impression that I think finasteride is some sort of doomsday drug that will turn our testicles to dust or anything, because I AM still on it, just a much smaller doseage...

At this point there is absolutely no way that I believe 1mg of finasteride/day has any side effects in only 2% of people who take it. I'm willing to bet in 5-10 years we'll be looking back at that doseage of finasteride as stupid and risky. It's happened with a number of drugs, even after being deemed...
