Facing possible side effects and think of quitting propecia

[Bamahanti]

So i started taking propecia for a week, all was good for the first day or two cept the small dip in sex drive. Then i started getting eye irritations and after reading this article http://www.hairsite2.com/library/article263.htm , i'm really starting to worry about the effects of finasteride on my long term health(i.e. the dry eyes, impotence, liver damage, etc.). As much as i want to keep my hair im afraid ill be fighting an uphill battle when i develop even more serious issues while taking finasteride. I'm starting to worry if i even did any permanent damage after taking a week of propecia .

I have read a lot of success stories on this site and i'm glad that propecia worked for a lot of u and good luck on those that want to start, but i guess i'm done. I'll continue to use rogaine since its much safer hehe

The dude wasn't even taking the correct dose that's reccomended for hairloss, and there's zero proof that his problems came from finasteride.

:lol:

About 5 months ago I reduced my finasteride dose to 0.5 mg/day from 2.5 mg/day with no improvement obtained.

But if you personally do experience sides and they don't seem to go away then you're probably better off quitting.

haha u are right, the guy is using wrong dose for his hair loss :lol: . but i'm still determined to quit. As much as i want my dry eyes to be a coincidence, the fact that it started right after i took my 3rd dose or so (still irritating btw), the possibility of a coincidence is too unlikely . And who really knows the long term effects of a hormone altering drug like propecia?

BTW for those that couldnt access the link before its because of the comma at the end, its fixed now.
