Should I come off Finasteride?

[chareddit]

I've been on fin for about 2/3 months now at 0.25 mg every 3 days (I'm 21 years old) and I don't feel any side effects
whatsoever (slightly more watery semens when I ejaculate several times as compared to previously).
At the beginning I had tight scrotum and unconfortable balls, but that since passed.
So my questions are:
-is it likely I'll get side effects if I ever come off (if I continue to take it) fin.
-if so I'll switch to RU so should I expect a shed doing so?

Thanks

Does sound like it works good for you, why would you want to switch or stop ?

I'm basically worried that if I stay too long on fin then at some point if i get off it i'll get nasty sides.
I forgot to mention that I may have slight gyno, not sure.

You need stop stressing just carry on man I was the same case as you, let your body adjust and carry on the low dosage. Just don't think about it otherwise you will get sides from stress and anxiety.

Stay on it for at least 18 months and then decide based on the results.

Since you already have taken the plunge, might as well continue and see if you respond well to it. If you get side effects after coming off it, stopping now won't do anything but bring you face-to-face with those side effects sooner. So again, might as well just keep at it. The clinical trials revealed a very small percentage of people reporting persistent effects (which were self-reports and not indicative of a cause of any kind), and since you're on a low dose, I don't think you will have a problem.

If you aren't having side-effects, then why would you get off? That kind of paranoia and fear is what the "anti-finners" want lol
