Finasteride has destroyed my entire life

[Misery]

If your in your 30's, 40's I wouldn't expect any sides...I'm in my 50's, I've regrown an exceptional amount of hair in the last seven months on 1 mg Fin daily and 5% Rogaine foam.

Damn stuff is nothing short of magic....!!

Seems the only people complaining about sides are men in their late teens early-mid 20's....when they did the initial testing, I believe the youngest in the group was 30-ish....works well I do know that..not a single side...shoot like a rocket-man...

You think that's possibly true, or is it just because you are in your 50s and didn't get sides. That's interesting, I wonder if the surveys have ever shown the age groups that have got sides from Propecia, and if it's limited to age groups. But I doubt sides are something they will ever publicise as a survey so it's just guess work. Do we know how many people on here over 40 or 50 have had sides from it?

Wouldn't you think a group of men brought together by insecurity would know better than to round on one of their own.

Jimmyjames1980, get in contact with me if you need any help or someone to talk to.

You've presumably been alive for around 33 years given your user name, yet you've still not learned how to string together a coherent sentence?

Amazing.

Maybe fin has given him severe neurological damage.

As a 25 year old with minimal balding, I'm curious what dosage you took and for how long?

I'm shooting for 0.625mg every other day to start. I'm going to do it no matter what, but am genuinely interested in your back story.

I took 1mg every day for almost 2 months.

[BigThinker]

This is exactly what I'm interested in. The safety of Propecia is unknown for young men and men with minimal balding, and that is being completely ignored by everyone.

Thought I was the only one bothered by that.

When you say things like, "It won't be long before Propecia is withdrawn, mark my words," you're engaging in some pretty irresponsible fearmongering. You have no grounds for believing that to be the case, unless you're privy some data not available to the rest of us.

I am privy to the same data as everyone else. Do you really expect a company to continue selling a drug that on an annual basis lost 10.5% in sales while lawsuits increased by 150%? It is *inevitable* that it will eventually be unprofitable and too risky for Merck to carry. Generic versions will no doubt remain, although I would expect a lot of negative publicity to come out of Propecia being taken off the market.

I really doubt Fin was able to make Jimmy go completely impotent in only 8 days, especially the first 8 days.

Don't the side effects usually wear off after sometime? I've heard it takes some guys even up to 6 months to completely reverse the side effects.

I would agree with you, mental health issues here.

[inspects]

Ive been on it over a week now , taking 1.25mg (cutting a 5 pill into 4) and have had ZERO side effects.

How long should I wait for these side effects to kick in?

I'd give it time, although I would panic too.

Scorpion being 100% serious, I remember hearing him on Spencer's show, really left a disturbing impression, real madness.

Highlander is also suffering a lot like many of us, but there's a lot of irony and dark tongue in cheek humor behind his posts. It's like he's letting his most shamedul thoughts go in the same way Tourette sufferers yell out what they are so afraid to say.

Seriously. Source.

I must hear this, even though I know it'll be bothersome.
