just started on finasteride, considering a blood test

preservationist · Oct 20, 2014

Guys, I just started taking it on Friday and I must say I feel not like myself. I am not sure if I like it. I am not getting any of the negative effects people are talking about (so far). In fact I seem more focused and less "in my head."

I been wanting to get a comprehensive blood test for while to improve my fitness and nutrition regimen. Seems like it is also good time to check the markers affected by Finasteride. What should I test for?

I figured now is the time to do it so I can see my pre-finasteride, normal, state. Should I wait a week or so to wear off the last four days of taking it.?

Ahh, consider yourself lucky.

Yeah, definitely get the pre-finasteride blood test, I just don't know how much you have to wait until finasteride wears off, a week will most probably do. Anyway, best of luck to you.
