Terrified of potential side effects

i mean in the end they have a choice, keep your virility or keep your hair. the lucky few keep both.

Your just battling time trying to buy a few more years. In another 5 years MPB will be easier to treat and probably much less risky. Its just that awkward inbetween time still where propecia is still the only real option but new things are getting near for maintance and actually a few different ones in case one or two fail.

i don't think it will be any better in 5 years tbh, if nothing major has happened by now i doubt in 5 years there will be a true breakout product, just more snake oil products to make us reach for our wallets. and by then, we would have lost too much hair to have regrowth

I have been on finasteride for about 3 years and never had any side effects. Nothing. What's strange is I took saw palmetto for a while before and I did notice a much lower libido. Once I got off SP I was fine.

I'd had to say. No need to be terrified but BE CONSCIOUS those are not stories someone made. Even with 2% you have to be prepared to accept you might be part of that tiny percentage.

People telling you that They were worried about but nothing happened are just the 98% and so They are happy. Is something like when you're a smoker, well, you maybe you're going to be ok for your entire life, but there's a risk and you have to consider it.

So I say, don't be afraid, just know it's possible. I was on it for six months and I'm telling you, the side effects are real. I suffered them and had to quit taking it. But yes, you have to fight man. I suffered from the sides for the next 19 months and after that I took the risk again but with the approach Spex posted here in another thread. Now I'n on the pill since 2 years and no side effects whatsoever.
