It's ok, I just think some balance is badly needed on this topic.
Wasn't the 10 year study based on Japanese men? If so, it only proves that Japanese men have a low number of side effects. Also, if a drug is affecting your sexual health, would you stay on it? Were the men on the trial rewarded for completing it? Were they being honest that they kept taking it? Too many questions. We just don't know the truth and that's the most honest and sensible position.
Are Japanese men more resistent to sides effects from Propecia? I really don't know, but I would imagine even if there is a difference its not significant enough to go from being 100% permenant impotent american man to perfectly normal japenese man. I guess it could exist to some reasonable extent.
The questions you are raising are all valid, but these same questions can be made about any other drug on the market. Finasteride is no exception.
Chris this may sound stupid, but I have heard that applying pure VitaminE oil to that particular area increases blood flow. There are some people on p-help.com that swear to it. I tried it a few months ago just to see if there is some truth to it, and maybe its in my head, but it actually made a little difference then how I usually am. I didn't pursue it any further cause the stuff is expensive, and I feel fine otherwise.
But yea it could be all in my head, just thought I should mention it.

Japanese men have totally different characteristics to men from Europe and America.
The trouble with the way medications are trialled, is that the groups of people in trials are not necessarily representative of the general population and if they are, their background isn't mentioned."
So this Japanese trial isn't worth shit. People need to stop referring to it ...unless you're advising someone who is actually Japanese.

Chris I agree with your statement.
But I would be real surprised if you started taking propecia again.
This is because you just dont think anyone should take it according to your posts.
You know I went off and back on and I haven't looked back.
But you have talked yourself out of the propecia a number of times by your
posts.
Good luck

I've not say people shouldn't take it, I just feel like I need to be honest and tell people to be cautious.
But yeah, I probably won't take it again. I wanted to when I first came off it at a lower dose, but the prolonged side effects make me extremely wary.
Think I might have a drinking game listening to the show tonight. Every time someone says propecia side effects are in men's heads I'll have a shot. Problem is I'll be hungover for work tomorrow.

I think they're gradually ebbing away. Thanks for asking.
