If you're experiencing side effects with finasteride, why are you continuing the treatment?

Yeah sorry about that I read it quickly, a shame you were part of that "alleged" 2% who suffer side effects.
I personally think the 2% figure is absolute bullshit, the amount of people who encounter some form of side effect is clearly far higher than this figure in reality.

What?
His crown is thinning and his hairline is receding.

Hey Ink, do you work out? And what is your diet like?

Is that a professional diagnosis? Lol, the point of my post was see a ****ing doctor before taking Finasteride! It's a dangerous drug!

I've always been very skinny growing up, finasteride actually helped me put on mass (guessing I had high DHT levels and low estrogen which contributed to fat burn), I'm only 70kgs at 5'10 though. Gonna start working out more seriously now.

I can only know what I experienced, are you denying hormones have effects on mood/the brain? Just because test is raised by 10% on average on most people doesn't mean it does for everyone, the hormone system is very complex, you have to look at the individual. Maybe my hormones were ****ed up before starting, who knows.
edit: and the first post you quoted was because my estrogen skyrocketed, I went to a doctor and she immediately upon seeing me knew what was up and likened my symptoms to womens period.

I have a question Dex.
I had my HT 6 months ago . I was dubious about fin for the first 2 months so I didnt start until Jan 30th.
How long does the shed phase last? Will it really take a year for it to all be grown back in ?

You said...

No it's not
Any way, Ink, good luck. I see you quit fin cause your tits were growing. Hopefully you find a way around your hair loss.
