Boss every body reacts differently to finasteride, how seriously your endocrine responds. Doesn’t mean if you don’t have sides then the med is not working, good thing is many people are taking it for ages and chilling with their lifes.
For some, they have been taking it for over 20Years without any sides(believe me its true) and few unfortunate like me experienced mild gyno within 3weeks of .25Mg finasteride(hence i’ve quited for sometime atleast). At times some people face side effects after quitting finasteride.
There is no general rule and there is no need to be fearing finasteride, just closely observe how your body responds. Do get your testestone levels and dht levels tested from time to time and also keep an eye on your body.
Keep on taking your meds and please don’t think about sides. Always feel that its going to help you but also keep a check. “Placebo is a b**ch”, in finasteride test .7% people got sides without even trying it.
Also if you ever get any side which you’re not willing to deal with, throw away the med.
