Ok so i recently bought Finasteride 1mg online and i have yet to open the package as i am contemplating whether to take them or not

Does anyone have any advice as to whether i should take it, whether its worth taking or maybe there is a way of doing a trial period for how long to try it for?

I been taking a natural DHT blocker for a while now with saw palmetto and i did get some of the DHT side effects from it early on with water semen and stuff but it went after 2 weeks and it hasn't really stopped the receding

Its a very confusing situation time because it feels like a gamble with how it has effected everyone differently

Here's how you decide if you should take finasteride.

Do you have male pattern baldness? Yes. Does it bother you? Yes

Then you should take it

Sounds way to easy.

Then male pattern baldness must not be affecting your quality of life that much

For me it was a no brainer. Constant anxiety, the state of my hairline in my consciousness 99% of the time regardless of what I was doing. Hours spent on carefully placing strands of combover

I was not going to continue living like that if there was any possibility of a way out

Educate yourself on all side effects and be vigilant as to whether you are getting them whilst on the drug.

Just wondering, did you get your Finasteride from the website store? I've been planning on getting it too and wanted to know if it was helpful.

Personally I think saw palmetto does work similar to finasteride, but finasteride is way way stronger. Saw palmetto quite likely doesnt do much for hair loss simply because its not strong enough at that normal 320mg.
You could take smaller doses like .25 or less instead of 1mg.

Pop it like candy. I would also suggest going to a derm and getting a prescription for finasteride. The generic is inexpensive at places like Costco or Sam's Club. You never really know what you are getting online.

If you got "sides" from saw Palmetto don't touch finasteride, you will most likely be a pfs patient because of your imagination.

Take it, go on nofap and break the nofap once a week or once every two weeks to check if your dick still works.

That way you
+ don't waste time (I did) and

+you don't masturbate 20 times a day to check if you might have sides (I did)

+ until you eventually fail the 21st time in six hours and blame it on finasteride (I did).

If you get ed obviously stop immediately. But for 95% of the guys finasteride is save. So no reason to throw your hair away.

I actually did get side effects from saw palmetto, or at least the mix of saw,nettle,pygeum and pumpkin seed.

I had all the symptoms that it says you get with finaseride but they only lasted a month and they went away and my hairline carried on receiding after.
