From finasteride to Serenoa repens (Saw Palmetto)

[jhonny9546]

Hi guys!
On November 24, I started treatment with topical finasteride 0.010%, 2 ml every day.
Incredible results, I'm back to when I was 20.
On July 25, I started having terrible feelings and anxiety attacks. I decided to stop.
Today, November 25, I feel much better, even though we're back to where we were before.
Now, finasteride causes side effects, so it's not worth continuing.
It's not worth the risk.
I was considering opting for saw palmetto, but there's no information on whether or not it can cause these effects!
Also, as with finasteride, there's both topical and oral options, so I'd have to choose between the two treatments.
I'm specifically asking those who have had side effects with finasteride and tried saw palmetto: did they notice an improvement without side effects?

Both block dht so both have side effects. SP just block less dht than finasteride so you will get less side effects but still possibly get them. I tried SP at a high dose and got post finasteride syndrome from it.
