Hello all. I went to my urologist today for a check up. He wrote me fin in the past and I never took it. Well today I went in and we checked my bladder about a pre existing condition and then he wrote me another script. Like he said the first time he prescribed it he never had any patients with major sides. This is an urologist so he prescribes a lot of it. So now I have the Fin in my hand and like an idiot I went watch on youtube this guy with this horrific sides from fin. I thought at first he was a proponent of Fin, but now I know he is clearly not. His user name is vvdv82 and he clearly has a lot of knowledge on DHT and other things. Also my doctor sent me to a place to get my bloodwork done for my testosterone. He said I may need to be on testosterone Replacement therapy. I have no clue why, but I know he is a big fan of it. I have no problem with erections or sex or anything. I am 27 and I had sex four times the other day. I dont know man. I am upset about this fear of sides.

Don't take it! Finasteride is a stone age treatment sold by evil corporations to turn men into sterile drug mules with boobs!!!
You will lose your penis, you will lose your brain. Then you will become gay. Unless you were already gay, in which case you'll become straight.Comment

Just take less than .25 mg if possible, then take it after 3 days same dosage. Next two weeks, start taking .25 mg daily or every other day. You don't need a lot of Fin for it to be effective. See how you do with that amount? Some people don't have sides and other have too many. I had sides the first week i took it so i should have stopped then. I took it for a year worked great for my hair but the sides were too much i just dropped it altogether. Remember dht is not enemy.
Your Testosterone levels might be below baseline. I would do thyroid, DHT and Estrogen levels check with lab work. DHT is responsible for hair loss mostly. If you take fin it might increase your Testosterone levels by 10%. Typical response due to inability to turn into DHT.Comment

I don't think anyone should be advising someone to take this drug without stating the risks.
I have heard several people experience different side effects so it is at your own risk.
I took it for 6 months, did nothing for me. Glad I stopped taking them as god knows what damage they do.
Even a minor drug like Ibuprofen if taken regularly can screw you over so long term taking Fin twice a day every day for years and years cannot be good for you.Comment

Do not worry too much as 1mg a day of the 5mg prostate treatment is very small dose i have used up to 5mgs a day and am now back on the dual dht drug dutasteride.Comment

hi jc yes i am in a way as my gp new about my hair loss worries and was lucky he supported me as i did have a slight leakage problem after urinating but as said was on proscar which i either cut in half and took every other day od cut in fours.
I was on dutas a while ago and found that 0.5mgs a day helped me better in the hair loss battle as you may in my other post im on a trial of kevins regrime and only into week three of the topical and orals.Comment
