20 and think I'm ready for Propecia

[hairlossworrier]

Okay so over 3 months on Propecia now. My hair looks worse than when it first did - which was to be expected. I am developing gyno though... I can handle any sexual side effects but I don't think I can handle walking around with breasts. Does anyone have any advice on whether to drop it or stay on it? Sucks to go through the shedding period then this!

Thanks everyone!

I dont see how you could deal with the sexual side effects...i love sex...&its not much yu could do if your sht wont get up...I say drop it, deal with you hairloss or get on a high percentage of Minoxidil...dats wat im doing...ill keep you updated on my hairloss too... but dude yur 20 dont mess up your sex drive, and grow breast like a feminine chick...Bro im 21 years old & thinning too,

Gyno?!?! Awww s#!t man. Drop fin, better to be bald and healthy, than impotent with tits. Keep on minox though. That might help slow things down or even improve your situation.

I read what you said about the itching. I've heard others talk about this, and the itching is something I've had for many years, especially around the thinning areas. Has the itching stopped at all, since you've been on finasteride?

hello. you and i are in the same sucky boat. I also developed gyno from Propecia and decided to stop. Im sure I could have continued and maybe it would have gotten worse, maybe not, decided not to take the chance as tits are worse than balding imo . Personally I would hop off and take comfort in knowing we tried the best thing available, it just isnt for everyone. I did not notice any sexual side effects when with lady friends, but I did notice my erections when fapping would go away quite quickly without stimulation. Now off the propecia and everything is back to normal.

You just gotta decide for yourself, puffy nipples and slight boobies vs balding. Many men go bald, not many have droopy tits. So I chose to hop off just in case. Best of luck bro.
