PFS... post finasteride syndrome

[Bald Pitt]

I just read an alarming article on menshealth.com about finasteride and its side effects. It appears that even if only a small percentage face permanent side effects it is concluded that PFS is real. I'm sharing this for people like me who are on the fence about taking the drug. And for people suffering from the side effects of propecia i would recommend some sort of hormone replacement therapy. Meaning get on the juice ! I seriously dont see any other option for getting back what you've lost. This is such bullshit ! the one thing that works could ultimately destroy what you are trying to gain as far as sex and relationships. I'm 22 so i cant imagine living the rest of my life without busting a satisfying load lmao. you just have to laugh i guess.

Even if PFS was not actually real (who am I to say it is or isn't), I wouldn't be happy taking a systemic drug for the rest of my life. Sucks we have no better solution.

I've been on Propecia for over a year and have never experienced any sexual side effects. My sex drive is as intense as it has ever been. I'm not saying PFS isn't real but for me at least, I've not had a single issue.

ive been on it for about 4 or 5 months and I havent had any problems.. Though my hair doesnt seem to be doing a darned thing, at least I can say it isnt really falling out any more.

But I read this article, or bits and pieces of it. This article just cites that same Dr. Irwig study (like all other articles that say PFS is real) but it still has not yet been proven beyond a doubt yet, has it? Just because Mens Health published it, doesnt really say much.

I asked my doctor about it and since he has so many younger adult patients, propecia is very popular. Since I was concerned, hes done some asking around and research himself, and he told me he feels propecia is very safe, and that these PFS claims are unfounded. He also told me he feels more comfortable prescribing propecia than an antidepressant, and I trust him so im not at all worried. I think its always best to talk to your doctor, someone who really understands all this stuff, and take their word for it. I don't let people on the internet and magazine articles run my life, but maybe thats just me!

some people smoke a pack a day for 50 years and never have an issue, but many do have complications. i know that a bit extreme but damn its not worth the risk.

Stabilizing is what you should shoot for. significant regrowth is rare. Get a transplant if you want to get back to a better baseline.

Can you provide evidence to this claim. You are fearmongering.
