Could Sides Be A Faster Way Of Telling If Something Is Working?

[CodyJ]

In regard to drugs like finasteride, dutasteride, RU, etc. side affects could appear a lot sooner than the thicker hair.

Can one make the assumption that if one gets sides that the drug works, and eventually you will regain hair?

I think that would be a false assumption! You can assume that the more sides you are getting the more harm it is doing to your body.

I'd agree, side effects like loss of libido does not mean something is working. The only exception would be Minoxidil. It seems that it is pretty much agreed that the people who do not shed at all may not benefit and the people who do shed alot means it most likely will work better for them.
