    Propecia - not everyone is having side effect?

    Nate, that's my plan. I don't want to have to worry about cutting pills. When I do quit, I'll just start going every other day for a while, then once every three days, and so on. I'll likely consult with a professional endocrinologist first as well. I may sign off for a while as the Internet is...

    freaked out about finding out about post finasteride syndrom, my story. Any insights?

    So it sounds like you had sexual sides when you were on the drug, which subsided when you went off. But when you went off, you got depressed? I have never had any sides being on the drug. Likewise, the drug doesn't make me happy or energetic, it just grows my hair. Next time you come off, maybe...

    How many years can finasteride maintain your hair for?

    That's a great question. From a third-party point of view, I would be asking the same thing. This past weekend, I got hit with a condition called Third Nerve Palsy for the second time in two years. Basically, your eyeball gets paralyzed for a few days and then slowly recovers. Both times I got...

    Propecia - not everyone is having side effect?

    Nate, if I've had sides it has to be a smaller prostate and more hair. That's it. From day one, I've never had any sides that I've been aware of. I'm a very lean gym rat and I'd certainly notice one ounce of gynecomastia. I was unhappy in my previous marriage and use to frequent good old pornhub...

    freaked out about finding out about post finasteride syndrom, my story. Any insights?

    I'm starting wonder how many long term users are blaming finasteride for the natural aging process? I started finasteride around age 28. I was already noticing a drop in libido, morning wood and the ability to go multiple rounds BEFORE I started finasteride. I'm almost 42 now. I'm not expecting to have raging morning...

    Does anybody know why some have sides and others don't?

    How long for finasteride to 'work'?

    I started my finasteride 12 years ago, in 2004. I had a buzz cut at the time, so within a month I could tell my my balding crown was starting to fill in. At the 6 month mark, I think I reached my plateau and have stayed there ever since. My crown is a bit thin (especially when wet), but the rest of my...

    Fina seems to accelerate my male pattern baldness

    Not sure what you mean by Norwood? Are you asking my age? If so, I was like 29 when I started and I'm almost 42 now. That said, I've developed a bunch of bad habits over the years. I'm a bit of a stimulant junkie and am worried about issues with hypertension, even though I don't have hypertension...

    Fina seems to accelerate my male pattern baldness

    I've taken it for 12 years. It's been great for my hair and I've had no side effects at all. But now I've heard the horror stories on propeciahelp.com and am not sure if I should quit or stay on it forever.

    Should I start finasteride?

    Based on your pic, I think your hair looks totally fine.

    Want to quin finasteride. Scared as hell

    You mention you experienced side effects that lasted a week or two when coming off the drug. Did you have any side effects while on the drug? I didn't. Not even for a day. I started taking it in 2004 and the only thing I noticed was more hair. I'm trying to determine if there are any long-term...

    Want to quin finasteride. Scared as hell

    I've been taking Propecia for 12 years with much success and zero sides. However, I recently had some health issues that made me question a lot of unhealthy lifestyle choices. So, I'm on a quest to "get clean" so to speak and I'd like to get off propecia. After all, I'm almost 42 now and I don't...

    How many years can finasteride maintain your hair for?

    I've been on Propecia/finasteride for 11-12 years now. For me, the results were almost immediate. I had zero side effects, except I had a lot more hair. I hit a plateau about 5-6 months into my treatment and have maintained ever since. My crown is still a bit thin, but most of my hair is super thick...
