    Default More or less likely to get sides with fin...

    If you have a high sex drive??

    I have a ridiculously high sex drive, it's actually really irritating, especially as I do not have a gf. So do you think I am more or less likely to get sides with fin if I started?

    Also, do you think people with aggressive mpb have a higher sex drive in general? I guess this would make sense right?

    Doesn't matter and no, probably not, it varies.

    As clan said, it's probably hard to say. Although, I have seen many people recommend getting blood-work first to ensure that you have normal T levels. As sex-drive and T levels are positively correlated, I would HYPOTHESIZE that you have normal or even high T levels. What does this mean in terms of sides? Good question. If I had to GUESS, I would say that you will likely notice the effects of fin more but you SHOULDN'T be causing persistent sides (hopefully) by pushing your hormone levels out of the normal range (since your starting place is normal or even high instead of borderline low).

    This is pure speculation btw, so please do not take what I said as fact as it might be terribly incorrect.

    It'd be speculation if they did. Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear.

    Breaking, why don't you just try the drug rather than trying to guess what other people may experience, each person is different, so its a flip of a coin really. Just remember about 2% of the population will experience possible side-effects, the people who think they will experience side-effects the percentage will be extremely higher. My suggestion is pop the pill and forget about it, if your capable of doing so.

    As you know the people who experience the sides whether actual or mental are very vocal about their experiences. Others like myself who do not have any sides do not post on every thread in this forum regarding side-effects related to Propecia.

    Propecia didn't affect me in any way, others may experience different results.

    The best part of the drug is it stopped my hair loss and I'm gaining ground, others may experience different results as well.

    Ahhhhhh man I know I should! But I am literally terrified of it, it just makes no sense to me that inhibiting a hormone we don't really know about is a good idea.

    But I still get tempted to take it...all the time. To be honest I think the young guys like me are more at risk of sides, as your body is still going through hormonal changes during your early 20's, don't you think?

    If I took it I think I would be paranoid about everything, like if I was feeling tired, dizzy etc I would be thinking 'Is it the propecia?' especially as people are constantly coming up with new suggestions of possible sides and problems it may cause in the future. If I experienced sides I would be devastated beyond believe

    I wish I could take it, maybe I'll get desperate enough I still just can't believe that there are no better options other than playing Russian roulette with a drug that wasn't even made for hair loss.

    Hey, if you try it for a couple weeks and it works, AMEN...if you have sides, dump it...simple as that..your dick isn't going to fall off, and the nonsense from people who took one pill and their ready to hang themselves is BS....
