9 years later on propecia

Just to join in, I really think that it is a case of the people who do get sides are the ones who end up on the internet crying foul for obvious reasons.

I have a couple of friends who both went to their gp to ask if there was anything that could be done about hair loss, their doctors (maybe somewhat recklessly?) just said "yes, here is a script for finasteride". I have asked both of them, they didn't even seem to know that there could be sides and have experienced none.

For one of them, who's father is slick bald, the fin literally within months had regrown his hair to extremely thick completely flawless coverage, didnt even shed. This is from a situation where he'd probably lost about 50% density across the whole top of his head, and the typical jibing had started from the idiotic dickheaded individual in the group of friends, there always seems to be one right? I realize he probably was lucky to get on it super fast, and also lucky to respond really well though.

Neither of these people has used a forum in their life, both are weightlifting womanizers, I suspect the vast majority of those on fin are more like these people....not shut ins sitting on their computer giving updates on how great fin is.

-edit-
and when I say "how great fin is" I mean great for them, I am still too scared to take it haha..

Here is a case where you cited one guy. There is nothing wrong with it. I have searched the internet and found 415 lawsuits against it.

415 guys claiming some kind of permanent loss . Out of what? 500,000 or a million or 5million men who have taken it since 1997?

To me its a no brainer. You can be scared all you want. The medication is for you. I will take my 99.99943 % chance I wont have some kind of drastic side effects.

There are other methods besides finasteride to combat hair loss. We can choose one of them.

This thread happened a few months before I joined this forum. It is a good one. Almost 2 years later and everything still applies. Same fear mongering BS mostly from guys either too afraid to treat their hair loss or too late for anything to make a difference. They have no solutions and are pissed off about it and want you to suffer like they are. They try to disguise their misinformation and fear mongering as help. Yeah thanks but no thanks.

Drybone, Bigthinker, 25 going on 65, all good posters...miss those guys.
