    If you choose to go off finasteride when trying to conceive a baby, although there is no scientific evidence that this is necessary, you may want to try laser light therapy in addition to continuing to take minoxidil to help slow down any shedding caused from going off the finasteride.

    are you really going to take a pill for 65 years?

    I had to get surgery on my left breast from Propecia. Not a big deal but I developed gyno, and a small tumor started to grow, Thanks Merck, lol

    I had a major shed as well that scared the hell out me.

    Oh well I gave it a try

    Just want to show my thanks for this post (I joined to do so). I have had bad frontal hair loss for years now and have put off finasteride for years due to "sides". There are so many posts online about how horrible it can be which basically say "Take finasteride, you're castrated forever" (who would take it after that!).

    I started getting a little depressed due to my balding so I finally invested in Finpecia. Have been on it for a week. I take only 0.5 mgs as well as having chucked 2 mgs into my minoxidil bottle. I feel better already for having started taking it. Not so helpless.

    Only thing I have noticed so far is that I sometimes have a bit of heart palpitations. Anyone else have that? I'm gonna stick with my 0.5 for a while and see how I go.

    Thanks again for the reassurance. It seems that only the very loud and angrily (perhaps justifiably) minority are the ones posting about this drug on the net.

    Finasteride works. I've noticed new growth in the temple area, although the hairs are very thin. I have noticed some side effects such as slight drop in libido, and brain fog. These sides aren't devastating, but I wish I could quit using finasteride because I believe DHT is an important male hormone.

    I've been on Propecia for one week now, taking one pill before bed. I have also been using Nizoral (Mon-Wed-Fri) for the past week.

    No sides yet. No shed yet.
