Has finasteride effected your social life in a positive or negative way? Do u find yourself staying in more often or alot more willing to go out? Di u have more or less game with girls since starting?Just curious because I feel that sometimes finasteride makes me lazy... especially if I take it in the morning.
finasteride and your social life

Been on it since Monday bro good luck! I just feel like as soon as I lay down I just don't wanna get up, usually that happens only when I smoke weed... thinking about dropping the pot just so I could live comfortably on finasteride... but it's hard when everytime you go out to meet friends were all smoking together.

Thanks, you too !
I did experience some side effects the first time I took it almost immediately but that's nocebo kicking in. Like pretty much all side effects were there. I just stopped thinking about finasteride all together for the last two days and haven't had any issues whatsoever. Try thinking less about it, and see if that helps ?
Stay strong !
Yes, basically ignore the side effects. Just attribute the eventual lower sex drive to age and the man boobs to a bad diet. Only thing that matters is that you keep your hair!!
look, im all for exposing side effects and i fkn hate when people say "thats not finasteride related, you have other problems" but the dude said it in such a humble way and hes right, when i first tried finasteride i was constantly checking my boners and wasnt able to achieve full erections, that coupled with anxiety of having ed made me get 0 erections that day.. one day i had forgotten that i took my finasteride dosage and guess what, i was popping boners like nothing again... if u have side effects after the adjusting stage (1-3 months) then you should definately evauate your situation, but anything that happens in the first week is most likely nocebo.

Taking full 5 mg whack at times. No affect on girls, social life, work (health care), sex.
I do believe a minority may get tiredness, brainfog and stuff on it.
My body tolerates it well, it's like a sugar pill.
I'm thinking of going all out on male pattern baldness and try dutasteride/minoxidil too.
I have realised the benefits of hair even more recently, especially for me.

good to hear dude i notice this time around taking finasteride i have NO problems with my nipple irritation, usually .25 will make em itchy but not sore... maybe if i keep on my diet i could avoid the gyno. as much as finasteride gave me gyno, i still believe that its fairly safe and worth the try... i also believe anyone who has persistent side effects just needs a little trt and some time for thier body to adjust.
wow 5 mg a day is intense man, but if u have no side effects then why not i guess... tbh i think 2mg or more wont cause much difference.. i think at this point youd do just as good as taking 2.5mg a day... but still if u have no problem with it then why not right? i recently started a .25 every 12 hours regimen and so far so good!

I like your plan. Good on the gyno front. Also I am 5 mg EOD now. It's just to help the recovery, it can only help me, not hinder. Long term will be 1 mg a day I think.
anyone else care to chime in on how finasteride effected their life over the years?? im starting a long term commitment and would like to know every aspect of this drug. I am less worried about sexual sides and more worried about me as a person, i dont want it to change anything about me on a personal level.

Was in your boat 5 months ago before i hopped on finasteride.
No sides and I can tell you that I am a hell of a lot happier. I will be the first to admit, I think looks are important in all aspects of life (relationships, social, work) and I was not letting my hair go. I am 25 and 5 months into finasteride, it has helped my crown get back to normal and a little help with corners/temples, hoping for more.
Instead of waking up every morning and running to the mirror to see how much worse my hair got, i wake up knowing im doing everything i can to keep/regrow my hair (been on minoxidil around 2 years).
Its a personal decision, but multiple docs were willing to write the script and im only 25 and in a lucrative sales industry. Presentation/looks are very important and instead of the young balding guy im the young, good looking rep whos killing it. My 2 cents
Thanks man I appreciate the support... I too am studying business management and need to be on the ball in alot of aspects. I'm 22 and in about a year my hair would be at the point of no return, so it was now or never for me. Stuff like this keeps me motivated to keep going. Glad to hear it's working for you man!
