your problem may be mult-factorial
blood tests for general health, immune system (IgE in particular, for allergies you have) and testosterone / estrogen might be useful.
your diet / exercise and lifestyle can influence hormones.
for example:
'Cognitive–behavioral stress management increases free testosterone and decreases psychological distress in HIV-seropositive men.'
Health Psychology, Vol 19(1), Jan 2000, 12-20. doi: 10.1037/0278-6133.19.1.12
psychologically stressed men with hair loss may also have reduced testosterone and may benefit from CBSM or yoga. Yoga in other studies have been proven to be as effective as CBSM.
vitamin D can also affect testosterone levels (too little vitamin D = less T)
serum poly-unsaturated fats also have an effect on the binding on Estrogen in women - this may also happen with guys.
even if the doctor finds nothing; that doesn't mean much. it may be a whole combination of things in your life, finasteride and min included, that result in the symptoms you have. it may well be that finasteride or min is entirely at fault but don't get tunnel sighted - look at everything in your life that may affect u.
