"Post Fin Syndrome" sounds scary - how does TBT not talk about this?

[chrisf]

So I've been looking into taking Fin. There seems to be many people who take it and are fine. There also seems to be serious reports and whole forums that are dedicated to people who have had disastrous experiences with fin who are permanently and VERY seriously affected to the point where some have committed suicide.

I was looking around on www.propeciahelp.com. It seems there is overwhelming evidence that some people are really suffering crippling effects from fin after only being on it for a short period of time. If you look on http://www.propeciahelp.com/overview the second video on the page explains this apparent syndrome. (on a side note..penile shrinkage?! wtf...i mean i dont have a small penis but i certainly dont want to lose any of it!)

I know Spencer Kobren pushes this drug quite hard on his program and seems to 100% believe in it and doesnt give credit to the fact that many people are suffering these side effects. Listening to The Bald Truth I have always took him for a very honest person who presented all sides of hair loss treatments but I feel he's been very very lax and biased in reporting on the side effects of fin. I've heard him pretty much completely dismiss fin side effects, but from what I've read on forums and from videos I've seen, its hard for me to believe that whole forums of people are lying or that its all mental.

I dunno, the second video on that page above makes a lot of sense to me and I just dont get how someone like Spencer would completely dismiss something like this when it seems he scrutinizes other products so thoroughly.

Thoughts?
