One month on finasteride. Pics / advice needed

[biger_beter]

Its been one month for me on finasteride almost and the shedding has noticeably gone down / my hair looks quiet a bit thicker.
Taking 0.5 mg every other day and things are pretty smooth.
Only sides i'm seeing is a reduction in sex drive. I dont get as many random erections, and its a tad bit harder getting a hard-on while i'm watching p**rn. Once I start things go okay though.
I'm a little worried this gets worse.
Comments on the hair, and advice on my issue all appreciated.
Thank you..

no point in commenting on hair that just went through a shed..
ride out the sides for now and see where you are at after 3-4 months.. we can re-evaluate then.

Well I never really shed AFTER getting on finasteride. I used to shed alot before it, and that shedding has noticebly gone down.
You think I shouldnt worry about the side and keep going with it?
Thanks for the reply bro

I experienced the low sex drive as well but it gets better, I've been on fincar 5 months now and it's improved substantially.

Btw, hair looks good, where'd you get your finasteride?

Oh ok I see.. your hair is lot better than the most, I think you will see great results.. and YES, stay with the finasteride. For majority of people, sexual sides go away after 3-4 months.

Thanks for the heads up bro. Got my finasteride off minoxidil.com
Powder form. I cut it in half, and throw the other half away because it gets messy ..

Thanks alot man. Sometimes I feel like I should take 0.5 mg everyday to get full benefit off the drug, but it just scares me. If 0.5 mg every OTHER day is doing this, I dont want to imagine what everyday would do to me. I seem to be sensitive to the sides.
Anyway i'll keep with it and try to stay optimistic.
Thanks a ton bro

Don't psych yourself into side-effects. That's what I did. I don't know if I genuinely had side-effects, and they went away, or if I just stopped thinking about it. The mind is incredibly powerful, and the placebo effect is very real!

Yeah half of that may just be in your head and\or getting used to the finasteride.

You have a really good hairline so if finasteride works for you you coudl even have an inch of recession and still be fine lol.

I remember when my hairline was that low...when I was 11-14 years old. Now I'm clearly a Norwood 1\1.5 but its receding behind the temples bad and at the crown, waiting on my finasteride to get here so I can stop this crap.
