if i go on propecia what are the chances that i will have long lasting side effects
Hi, my first post.
My hairline is between a NW2 and NW3 and in the last month, I am starting to lose a lot of hair faster.
I haven't taken anything but I have done some research about the big 3.
I would like to get on propecia but I am having the most difficult time conntemplating if its worth the risk or not. How do I choose?
If I do go on propecia and get side effects, what are the chances that it will stay even after I go off of it.
Thanks.

If you want a number, I would say much less than 5%.
-
side effects are rare, and LONG lasting side effects are even more rare
-
If rounded to the nearest whole integer: zero.

I wouldn't say sides are common, but I think we are past the days where experincing any sides at all just means you're apart of the infinitesimal group of unlucky people. I mean c'mon, we hear stories all the time about people thinking they had no sides at all for years, then coming off and feeling the difference
not trying to scare you, quite the opposite. I would encourage getting on, because when it comes to LONG TERM sides, yeah, honestly not even worth worrying about. just know your body, i think that's the fair advice.

It took me about 3.5 months to get back to normal after propecia. I'm 22 healthy and fit, it's completely up to you whether you take it , just educate yourself on it first I had a terrible experience with it.

You're probably going to laugh dude and most others will do to. I took 3 1mg tablets. Started with ball ache, then numbness, then complete ED for a month or so. My testosterone levels went from 650 to 200 in a matter of a week or so. Took me months to get back.

That is probably why it happened.
Your body had a shock.
I think fin is something you need to gradually taper on with.

Likely. Although he could have ended up with sides later anyways. Definitely understandable that people can get sides from very few doses, especially at 1mg. Whereas if you start with an extremely small dose, it lowers your DHT to desirable levels much slowly which is probably better for your system.
