I was taking finasteride for 3.5 years at varying doses during my time, but for the most part, I was taking 1mg. a day. I recently stopped finasteride and have been off it for about 4 months. While I was on it, I had low libido, inconsistent erections, and mental fog. I was unaware of how bad the mental...

very little. I was never a big shedder. Even now, I've been off finasteride almost 4 months. My hair has thinned but I don't shed a lot. I going back and forth about whether or not I want to go back on.

I was on 1 mg a day for 3.5 years. The last 6 months my eyes dried up really badly. I've been off finasteride for 3 months and my eyes feel considerably better. I've done a lot of reading about dosing and have concluded that 7 mg. a week is too much. I'm considering going back on and using 1 mg 3x a...

I was on finasteride for 3.5 years and have been off for 2 months. I knew I felt a "little off" while I was on it but didn't realize how bad it was until I stopped taking finasteride for a few weeks. I feel so much sharper and more rationale. My family says I seem much nicer. I was taking 1 mg a day and then...

I had the same issue with the eyes regardless of when I took the pill. I was taking .5 a day before bed and my eyes were like sand. I had to use warm compresses multiple times a day and couldn't wear contacts. I've been off finasteride for other reasons for 2 months and my eyes feel considerably...

I've been on finasteride for 3.5 years and recently took a month break. I will be 50 soon and like others, I have noticed the mental fog has lifted as well. I can actually communicate and have rational thoughts. I've only been off for a month. I have had huge amount of thinning even while on finasteride...

It is my only side. Just want to be sure it's the finasteride and not something to be concerned about.

I've been on finasteride for 3 years and the hair on my body is thinning significantly. The thick hair that I had on my chest, legs and arms is very fine and white now as well as under my arms and pubic area. I recently went to a GP and my blood levels were all fine and I do not have any auto immune...

I've been on finasteride and close to 3 years and my current prescription has expired and only have a few pills left and my Dr is on vacation for 3 weeks. I've historically taken 1 mg daily. I was going to cut the pills in half or quarters until I can find a script. Anyone know about Keeps or Hims...

Hello long term users. I've just past the 2 year mark and have had the worst shed and hair loss since I've been on finasteride. About three months ago, I lowered the dosage to .5 mg daily to attempt to get rid of sides I was experiencing. I'm wondering if the reduced dosage could be causing this much...

I've been taking finasteride for coming up on 2 years. In the past few months, I've been suffering from bad dry mouth and dry eyes. The mouth is becoming really challenging to deal with as I can taste foods or drink alcohol. I was considering "pressing pause" on finasteride for a few weeks to see if this is...

A little bit about me and my journey on finasteride. I'm 46 and I've been on finasteride now 20 months and I have started to see much better improvements in my hair recently then I have at any time during my 20 months. I take 1mg daily at night and have the entire time. I've been through a number of sheds and...

Let me start by saying I'm 46 years and I have been on finasteride for coming up on 15 months. I lurked on these boards for months before starting finasteride. I have had very few sides (low libido) could be more tied to age so I've continued to take the medication but now my hair is completely trashed. I...

I'm 6 months in and shedding now. Shed at 3 months and at month 5 thought my hair looked better. Now at 6, I appear to be thinning again. In addition to that I have scaly skin on my left temple. Above there is a bald patch starting to come in right above the scaling. Hair is not growing in...
