    some advice for a newbee ?

    The best way to buy off of ebay is to look at the feedback. If others are happy then you are most likely to be happy. I just ordered mine off of ebay . . .

    My Bad finesteride and minoxidil experience:

    Ok. I'm going on the assumption that finasteride is the cause of my symptoms: fatigue, dizziness, memory problems, sense of disconnection, trouble focusing my eyes and nystagmus.... and others mentioned. I need to try getting off of it because my job is at stake because of lack of focus. And...

    My Bad finesteride and minoxidil experience:

    By RULING OUT that it is the causal factor by stopping the medication! Your stance to insinuate that the symptoms probably aren't related to the medication may cause people not to stop the medication and this is dangerous. People may experience different side effects than those reported...

    My Bad finesteride and minoxidil experience:

    I have tested my blood pressure and it was slightly high, but I've never tested the blood pressure at work....funny because I take close to a hundred blood pressures a day. And thanks for the info, I did put it on wet in the morning. I will try to stay on 1/2 a ml at night for a while . . ...

    My Bad finesteride and minoxidil experience:

    It doesn't matter how these compare to placebos, asthenia IS reported as a side effect. The definition of asthenia is vague and it's hard to compare a placebo pt's symptoms of asthenia and a test pt's symptoms of asthenia. The pt taking finasteride could have had more pronounced asthenia and...

    My Bad finesteride and minoxidil experience:

    Lethargy IS reported, just in words the typical lay-person doesn't understand which is not convenient to finasteride users. I realize this is just a forum and these aren't doctors that are giving medical advice. I just came here to talk to people with similar symptoms as I have, and with...

    http://www.drugs.com/ppa/finasteride.html Asthenia is listed as a side-effect for proscar which is finesteride 5mg. HERE is the definition: http://www.cancer.gov/Templates/db_alph ... drID=44787 : http://www.answers.com/topic/asthenia?cat=health : Sorry, I should have said the word...

    My Bad finesteride and minoxidil experience:

    Thanks Pondle for turning this into YOUR post, just like other posts I've read. I was upset when you showed up because I KNEW it was going to turn my post into yours. So, if you are going to stick around even after I asked you nicely not to then answer me this question: YES OR NO: Are...

    My Bad finesteride and minoxidil experience:

    I was expecting a post by you Pondle. I think I'm a little more qualified to make medical interpretations than you. I'll inform you that I have NO other lifestyle aspects that would contribute to the symptoms that I have reported. I've scoured for them. I do everything to eliminate them...

    My Bad finesteride and minoxidil experience:

    and you still take them? Wow...i'm just waking up to the fact that these meds could be causing these symptoms and I don't think I can live with them. I'm 33 btw, started finasteride around 27 and all my hair is intact or maybe fuller from then mostly except maybe around the temples. My hair also...

    My Bad finesteride and minoxidil experience:

    I guess I forgot to mention the dizzy spells that I have been having lately too. It's frustrating. I cut back to 1 ml at night and still had dizzy spells the next day. Anyone notice an increase in dizzy spells when adding finasteride to their regimen? Does finasteride contribute to dizziness? Thanks.

    My Bad finesteride and minoxidil experience:

    I've been on finesteride 1mg every day for about 6 years and minoxidil for about 1 1/2 years. I've been happy with the way my hair looks. I was able to keep the top and back of my hair but have a receding hairline look. My problem is is that I've been DRASTICALLY tired at work. And that...
