So i think that ive finally grown some balls to try finasteride.However,ever since I had a surgery 2 years ago I am skinny and I dont really do anything.I am about to go to gym but I am concerned that I wont be able to gain as much as I would without taking propecia.Has anyone here gained serious muscle mass while on finasteride?
Has Anyone Gained A Serious Muscle Mass On Finasteride?

I know a guy at my gym that has been on Propecia for like 10+ years. He's the biggest one there lol
Edit: There's also a guy in his 40s who recently had a hair transplant (pretty sure he had to take finasteride pre-op) and he's in extremely good shape for his age. Mirin' hard

Are the propecia concerns over stated? At 40 I’m hoping the decline might be less noticeable? I’m just terrified of the shed.
Wait how old are you?I mean by reading posts there are many people who get the sides...But still,those are probably ones who are in that precentage of people who get the sides.Today i took my first proscar quarter and to be honest I am scared as f***,because it is messing with my hormones after all.

I’m 40 1.5 years massive diffuse shedding and now losing hairline. Have been on oral minoxidil for 8 months, never caught up to even near a baseline and I’m sick for not starting Finasteride earlier, but scared it will have the same impact in terms of shedding as the minoxidil did.
Oh i think that you are safe to try finasteride...In my case,i dont even know if minoxidil caused any shed,because i was constantly loosing around 150-200 hairs a day,now i am loosing around 15-20-25 hairs a day,i already had a good regrowth but i want to make the most out of my hair so i started using finasteride.

You will struggle for various reasons I just posted about on this thread, I highly recommend this one for mitigating or eliminating sides from hairloss drugs in general btw.

Suggest reading the thread I linked before you do.
Like I said i dont want to mess with side effects and try to mask them...if i ever experience them i will simply quit finasteride.
I am only 19(almost 20),even if i tried i couldnt get that fat...

Finasteride shouldn’t affect your ability to gain mass.

I've lost about 50lbs starting from 220 and now hovering around 165/170 and now starting to focus more on gaining strength/mass after not working out seriously for a while. I'm making consistent weekly strength gains following a basic PPL routine while on dutasteride for almost 4 months now, and have been on finasteride for about 2 and a half years before starting dutasteride. Just make sure you have a consistent routine and that your diet is in check.

Finasteride and especially dutasteride raise testosterone to an extent and it could even be argued that they could help you gain mass easier but it basically varies on a person to person basis.
