Are People With More Aggressive male pattern baldness More Likely To Get Side Effects From Finasteride?

I wonder if nature is cruel in this manner.

this is strange to get gyno with Abilify, this is some aripiprazole and is used to couteract gyno sides because of prolactin https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3869609/

but sometimes meds are strange . Finasteride shouldn't raise prolactin level, but my prolactin is on the high range while on it .

I refused to take it mostly out of intuition. Turns out I made the right call back then.

So you've never even tried very low doses?

 

[Swiss_Tampons]

Nope. I knew it wouldn't agree with me, I'm not the most masculine guy, and my doctor told me I was hypersensitive to hormonal changes in my body after my gynecomastia incident.

Ok, got it. Tough decision, Fred. I think that if I was in your shoes that issue would be a haunting dilemma for me. I mean, human physiology is SO complex...I would certainly have doubts about such a sharp and deterministic statement from a single doctor....but I'm just saying this because I got really surprised by the effects of ultra-low doses when I was in the very beginning of my titration from micro to low.

Yes this is very rare to get hyno with abilify, you might be the unluckiest guy on earth;https://www.drugs.com/sfx/abilify-side-effects.html
Rare (less than 0.1%): Gynecomastia.
So it was a smart move not taking propecia , because you would have a gyno 100% sure .
