So if I'm not seeing results after 6 mos on proscar (1.25 mg/day), it's nothing that is unusual or that should cause concern?

I went to the doctor regarding the dizziness and now chest pains. It turns out I have a virus that is likely responsible for the dizziness. I was referred to a cardiologist, too, to check for heart problems. I'm 35 and in good health otherwise, so I'm guessing it was all this virus. If I...

The first month I used proscar 1.25 mg/day, I had issues with a less-than-solid erection. However, after staying on for 3+ months, that problem is long gone and everything is totally normal. I'd guess that it lasted maybe 3 to 5 weeks. Don't sweat it right now. Give it time.

I've been on proscar (1.25 mg/day) for between 3 and 4 months and just recently I started experiencing bouts of dizziness, light-headedness, and I've felt extremely faint, sometimes to the point where I've had to lean over and support myself on a table or chair so I don't fall over. I've seen...

No, I'm not going through menopause ;) . I am having hot flashes, getting night sweats, and sweating quite a bit during the day since I've started taking proscar about a month or so ago. I'm not entirely sure it is due to the proscar, but it is the only thing that has changed in my life...

I remember seeing someone post (on a different, non-hairloss forum) a while ago that people who work out and lift weights need to be cautious in using finasteride. Does anyone have any information on whether there is any truth to this and if so, which precautions one needs to take? I'm...
