Fair point. The sides did go away after a time off the drug. I thought my goose was cooked, but alas nature has prevailed.

Not everyone is the same. It took years before it got to that level for me. For a lot of people, it never gets to that level. It's gamble though

Insomnia was off and on. Sleep quality in general wasn't good. I would repeatedly wake up at night, 3x4 times. Never a deep consistent sleep. The insomnia, when it would kick on, was always telegraphed earlier in the day. I could feel it building but I don't know how to put that into words to...

It's too early to say. Right now, everything has returned to normal for the most part. It hasn't ruined my course through life, so I don't regret it so far. If the post finasteride sides start occurring around the 10 day mark, then the answer will be most certainly yes.

Let me also point out this: if you are prone to finasteride sides, nothing can mitigate them once they get going. It only gets worse as the time goes by. Take me for example: 31 now, 6' 220 lbs. I'm a Marine Corps Officer who trains 6 times a week. I squat 500 lbs and run/swim/bike, in that...

Well, when the ED stuff started happening absolutely. But that was due to just erection quality. It has returned to normal though. I will definitely keep you all updated as this rat poison leaves my system.

The insomnia and the ED were by far the worse side effects. I shave my head and have been for years, so...

Year 4, the beginning of the dreaded ED. It happened December 2015 two months after I returned from the Middle East. I was hooking up with a beautiful woman, just absolutely sexy. But for some reason, I wasn't getting hard. I thought it was anxiety, and I didn't equate it to finasteride. Well later that...

Second side effect: High blood pressure. I routinely would have 157 BPM or so, despite being in fantastic shape. I could feel it at night, my heart was beating too quick, too quick for the amount of exercise I was doing. The doctors at the naval clinics would inquire about it, but would write...

First post, but I think my story is relevant. I took finasteride for 5 years. Started in 2012. I was 25 at the time. In that 5 years, the side effects have ranged from benign to f*****g scary. The first side effect, (which is not advertised) is the quality of sleep. When I was undergoing training for...
