Fear of Finasteride

[Notcoolanymore]

Devil's advocate:

When you think you are having symptoms, then go online and read page after page about them being due to propecia, it is easy to fall into the trap of fear, even without scientific proof. That is what scared me off of it. I had no idea what was making me feel bad and didn't even consider propecia till I went online.


On the other hand, there is no real data on all this experimental stuff. That doesn't mean it doesn't work, just means no one knows for sure. So I went back with what I know. Propecia worked well for me the first time and there is plenty of clinical trials to back up it's effectiveness. Plus it's a lot cheaper than the experimental stuff. If the experimental stuff really works, there should be clinical trials at some point...till then I will stick with what I know works for me.

I know where you are coming from. I delayed using fin because of the horror stories. I just want to make it clear that I am not denying that fin sides can be real. I just don't believe they are as common as some try to make us believe.

I agree, experimental stuff can work. But buying stuff that needs to be mixed, and having users decide on the concentration they need. No clinical data, not very reassuring.
