Its been awhile since ive been on the boards but I wanted to ask something that has been bugging me for the past couple of months. To cut a long story short, I've been on finasteride mabye 1 1/2 years, and it works great. I've not had much in term of side effects, apart from an initial lowered sex drive. Something I have noticed however, is my mood is much better. What I mean by this is, when I showed myself up in a social situation, or embarrassed myself in the past, I would really beat myself up about it, constantly thinking about it. This has not been the case since being on finasteride. I feel much more laid back and natural in social situations. I don't feel like I need constantly prove myself worthy. It's funny because I often go to the gym, and you see these big bearded ripped guys walking around with their chest puffed out , trying to own the gym, to prove their worth. They don't seem to be able to handle criticism. Maybe I'm being silly thinking DHT goes hand in hand with this attitude/feeling, but its seemed to fix something in my traits.

Honestly I think this is not a positive side effect of finasteride. I think it is a "direct" effect.
I think this could be linked to the fact that, as you write, finasteride works great for you and makes a "hair winner" of you. Good for you!
