Finasteride's telling me things about myself that I need to know more of

[Aonyx262]

Well,

Honestly, finasteride 0.5mg eod shouldnt really do much, but theoretically if you are blocking 5-AR you can see an increase in testosterone levels which I suppose could contribute to the "mental changes" you mentioned. It also could have been because maybe you felt more confident because you were "doing something" about your hair loss. Ultimately, the brain and emotions are too complex to really try to interpret on a message forum. Also, if hair loss doesn't bother you, go out and live your life my friend. Be free.
