How long did it take for your side effects to resolve after quitting the drug? For how long and what dosage have you been on fin ?
Vishnu, did you contact Hasson & Wong? What did they say? If not, please do.

I haven't yet but i think they'll tell me to stop the drug and wait for side effects to disappear.

I'm sure they will, but they'll also appreciate knowing that you experienced side effects. Might be able to make you a weaker version of the drug (although you might not be interested at this point, lol).

I agree with RU, best to tell H&W. Sharing data openly helps us all.
Vishnu- I wouldn't worry. Took me maybe 4 weeks to come back. I think FIN decreases AR5 for 5 days and then it takes more time for DHT levels to re-build. Best thing is to not worry. Sleep 8 hours, go to gym. Just be healthy for a few weeks and it should be fine.

I will contact them tonight.
Thanks for your story Fuzzy it's recomforting knowing you don't always end up with PFS when taking fin.

Are these side effects common with starting finasteride and go away if you continue or are they serious and require i stop this drug ?
Isn't H&W's topical supposed to not go systemic because of the gel it is delivered in? Can you be sure that the symptoms are not psychosomatic?

That's the goal, yeah. Maybe some people need a lower concentration, or less gel, or maybe some unfortunately just can't handle it. Who knows, but I wouldn't count it out as "it doesn't work at all" just yet.

thank you for contacting us.
To receive Finasteride gel 2,5% you only need to send us by email prescription of a doctor, and we can directly ship to you.
Attached you can find a sample of prescription that your doctor needs to fill.
The price for one bottle 30 ml is € 50,00 (+ shipping cost).
Please, tell us also what is your address for the shipping.
I'm not sure how lon 30ml is going to last, but looks like it is quite expensive.

wooow hold on it look like there are the same side effects on the Finasteride pills...so may be it's not a good idea to try the topical solution I better stay away from it
-
You gotta wonder why Merck never developed a topical version of finasteride, maybe it can't work. Another user brought up a valid point that finasteride is a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor, not a dht blocker, so it might be possible for dht produced from the prostate to make it's way up to the scalp. Maybe we should focus our efforts on equol which blocks the effects of dht. Either way, unless we see a blood workup, we can't assume Vishnu's symptoms were completely due to finasteride going systematic.
