    if i go on propecia what are the chances that i will have long lasting side effects

    Hi, my first post.

    My hairline is between a NW2 and NW3 and in the last month, I am starting to lose a lot of hair faster.

    I haven't taken anything but I have done some research about the big 3.

    I would like to get on propecia but I am having the most difficult time conntemplating if its worth the risk or not. How do I choose?

    If I do go on propecia and get side effects, what are the chances that it will stay even after I go off of it.

    Thanks.

    If you want a number, I would say much less than 5%.

      side effects are rare, and LONG lasting side effects are even more rare

        If rounded to the nearest whole integer: zero.

          I wouldn't say sides are common, but I think we are past the days where experincing any sides at all just means you're apart of the infinitesimal group of unlucky people. I mean c'mon, we hear stories all the time about people thinking they had no sides at all for years, then coming off and feeling the difference

          not trying to scare you, quite the opposite. I would encourage getting on, because when it comes to LONG TERM sides, yeah, honestly not even worth worrying about. just know your body, i think that's the fair advice.

            It took me about 3.5 months to get back to normal after propecia. I'm 22 healthy and fit, it's completely up to you whether you take it , just educate yourself on it first I had a terrible experience with it.

                You're probably going to laugh dude and most others will do to. I took 3 1mg tablets. Started with ball ache, then numbness, then complete ED for a month or so. My testosterone levels went from 650 to 200 in a matter of a week or so. Took me months to get back.

                  That is probably why it happened.

                  Your body had a shock.

                  I think fin is something you need to gradually taper on with.

                    Likely. Although he could have ended up with sides later anyways. Definitely understandable that people can get sides from very few doses, especially at 1mg. Whereas if you start with an extremely small dose, it lowers your DHT to desirable levels much slowly which is probably better for your system.

                      Yeah you wouldn't think a low dose of 1mg would do that, but after my experience I wouldn't screw with my hormones again. Being completely numb down their for a month was not a good experience. Hard to say why my body reacted so quickly to it.

                        I was on fin for less than a month and got gynecomastia; still have t to this day.

                        It's understood that sides can develop in under a month.

                          How bad is your gyno? I can't tell if I'm getting it or not. My nipples aren't puffy, nor is there a lump under my nipple. Sometimes, at certain angles, I feel like I can see fat aggregated though.

                            You have been hitting the gym hard though. You are probably developing pecs. From the gyno pics that I have seen online, they resemble more like man boobs than anything. Hopefully that shit isn't happening to you.
