Should I Take Finasteride?

[Kfondrie]

Hey everyone,

A couple weeks back I put up a post regarding my newly found hair loss. Some folks on here said I was lucky that I found it early and any further hair loss could be prevented from talking finasteride. So a few days later I visited my local dermatologist and got a prescription.

Now here is my question for everyone. As I have been looking on the Googlez I have come across so many horror stories. Some of which include memory loss and other absolutely terrible and supposedly permanent side effects. So does anyone have any reliable non-bias studies that they could post regarding the validity of these claims?

So far I have been taking finasteride for a total of about 2 and a half weeks and the only side effects I have experienced is an increase in shed and an INCREASE in six drive. I am 20 years old and am deathly afraid that this drug could possibly destroy my whole life, but the flip side is it could completely save it. As someone who suffers from low self esteem, balding at 20 is an absolute nightmare.

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
