How to know if finasteride is causing anxiety?
I’ve been on finasteride since 2011 following fair hair loss in my early 20s. It went great. I’ve lost minimal hair over the course of 9 years. Had a period where I grew some back.
I have been lucky as I have never experienced any apparent sides. Libido and everything all good. No gyno etc.
That being said, I experienced depression in 2014 but worked through it that year. Since then I’ve had on and off anxiety. I was always a little bit anxious but it has been a bit more apparent in recent years. I still live a functional life and have many happy days though. But I’m left wondering am I contributing to my anxiety?
Now I’m left with a dilemma. Do I drop finasteride in hope that it can improve my anxiety. If It doesn’t work then I’m left an anxious mess with no hair but if I don’t do it I’ll never know.
Is there a way I can work out if it’s effecting me?
Thanks.
