Afraid of Propecia

[norc]

I totally understand your concerns, I'm in exactly the same position. Still have a fair amount of hair, and think it'd be wise to start meds and try to save it, but naturally I have concerns for my health. What if I was an unlucky guy and got man boobs or depression etc, it'd screw me right up.
Then again, I could be like Spex, and have good results and no sides, it's Russian roulette as far as I can tell.

Correct. After reading and researching, I feel like hanging....dont know what to do

Yours not alone, I feel just the same, and im the only guy in my family that's ever thinned, it sucks hairy arse

i totally understand your predicament.

I gave it up after two months, i really didn't think it was worth the risk as i am 100% sure it is possible to cause sexual health problems. in my opinion anyone who takes finasteride is risking a Darwin award. new treatment will be available soon...hopefully.

I just went to see my GP about Fin, asked his advice, he's well aware of the drug, and said yes, of course there's possible side effects, there are with any drug. He precribes it for Prostate issues, and as far as he's aware none of his patients are suffering serious sides at all.
He said if it losing hair concern's you "go for it"

My doctor is actually saying the same...to go for it!

Yep, mine was quite laid back and said go for it, as i said, he said there are risks, but it wouldn't be prescribed if it was causing lots of negative effects..Just have to decide myself now..

No not easy, i appreciate ppl on here have very good results with Fin, but i also appreciate the guy's on PropeciaHelp have not - and thats what is concerning me, how the hell do we know if we're gonna be one of the lucky guy's? or the un-lucky one's thats got more serious issues than hairloss to contend with now as well?..
