On finasteride, stop stressing!

[CarlJohanson]

So I started finasteride a little over a week ago after I saw my hairline wasn't looking so great.
I've seen the statistics of its success and pictures of very thin dudes getting a full head of hair from finasteride. But I still stress about my hair! What if finasteride doesn't work for me..?
Which is ridiculous. At worst its going to slow down my hair loss.

Anyone else feel like this?

Dont stress, just take it and stop checking you hair. Make sure you get some pictures though to compare in 8 months.

Remember there is Dutasteride which is a lot stronger, but overkill for a lot of men.

Yea man stop stressing, as your title says. Im at 1 month and at the beginning I literally got sexual sides and reduced libido the WEEK BEFORE starting finasteride in anticipation! And of course I got sides after starting finasteride too, which have mostly subsided now. The mind is powerful. I remind myself of how many amazing stories Ive seen. I tell myself that I wont just maintain, but regrow hair. Not expecting results right away has allowed me to relax a bit more. Plus, dont spend too much time on these forums, I try to do it once a week when Im feeling down.
