Did Finasteride give you serious sideeffects? (POLL)

[allTheGoodNamesAreTaken]

No serious side-effects for me, not from finasteride and not even after over 3 years of dutasteride.

It's weird, when I first did 1mg it was the worst I had ever felt in my life. I took one pill and had sides you are talking about for a week. About a week ago I tried 0.25mg and have never felt better. In fact my orgasms and sex drive have never been higher. I feel genuinely happier and uplifted from the fact I'm on it too.

"Dht is the result of something that we are doing wrong in our lives. It can be anything for example lifestyle,diet,stress etc."

That is just a feel good lie. All those things affect MPB to some degree, but for 90% of people changing those things will not save their hair loss.

Interesting that when I had trouble with 1mg I thought everyone saying propecia was worth taking was an idiot, now after successfully taking 0.25mg with no sides as of yet your post is the one that sounds idiotic.

Dear JeanlucBergman i may have sounded like an idiot because I have not given a complete explanation as to what the 'wrong' about lifestyle and diet could be.
So here it is,
1. By lifestyle i mean the amount of stress one has in life - as stress affects digestion and absorption of nutrients .Not only that it also depletes the existing vitamins and nutrients in the body in order to deal with that stress.
Also the amount of sleep you get daily ,the routine that you follow daily has to match the circadian rhythm of the body. For example slreping by 11 and waking up by 6 am keeps your bodies' Constitution in balance.

2. Diet
One should consume food according to one's body constitution.
In ayurveda there are 3 types of body constitution namely vata ,pitta,and kapha.
Hair loss and skin disorders are the result of excess pitta (heat)dosha in the body.
So the first step is to eliminate those foods from you diet which is heating the body up example salty , spicy ,sour foods and oily and deep fried foods .

Mr , please understand that even i used to believe in this dht causing hairloss theory and that is the reason i turned to finasteride.It did work for me at one point of time and i also stardted feeling good about my life in general ,but, gradually the nasty side effects started showing and my life was crushed even though i had a thick black crop of hair.I though what the heck is the hair for when i cant feel things and desires like a normal man. So i had to choose what is more important . So i decided i would stop finasteride with a heavy heart because it was for the better.
After stopping i had lost all the hair that i had regrown but i never stopped looking for alternative solutions. It took me more than a year anf a half to realise that the cure to this misery lies in ayurveda. Ayurveda is a sanskrit word meaning science of life which is more than 6000 years old and originates in my country.
It was dismissed as an alternative medicine by the bigpharma as it was seen as a threat to their revenue system.
Sadly it is the only true and complete form of medicine which eliminates problems from the root.And this does not happen by merely popping a pill.
Modern medicine is here only to turn u into a cash cow whereas ayurveda wouldnt cost u a fortune.It Gives u complete guidelines to rectify your lifestyle and diet and stress reduction techniques which will not cost u anything.
And finally , yes i may be an idiot but atleast i have stopped my hair loss and have a thick crop of hair and goid sex life as well.
