Blood tests

[momo]

I've been on propecia and minoxidil for 7 months, seeing goog results.
side effects: low libido, tiredness, depression..

I had some test showing:
high prolactin - 464 mIU/L , max - 360 mIU/L
mid-high progesterone - 0.84 ng/mL , max - 0.90 ng/mL
testosterone is fine - 708 ng/dL

Do you think prolactin is causing my sides?
should I stop finasteride?

Your Progesterone levels affect libido, but its immposible to say whether or not yours are high enough to be the cause of your sides. You would need to have the value before you started taking finasteride and before you started getting sides.

I think if I decide to take finasteride I'm going to get baseline bloodwork done so I can compare.
