I'm Scared.

[clandestine]

Regarding the progression of my hair loss, and considering getting on propecia. I'm 20 years old, and by all means would like to be proactive in fighting against hair loss.

I've had sexual side effects in the past when I was taking SSRI's for anxiety and depression. I've also encountered performance anxiety previously in my sex life, something I've had to conquer. Dealing with hair loss at a young age, this gives me less incentive to want take hormone-altering drugs.

For these reasons, I am decidedly cautious when considering taking medication with potential sexual sides. Regarding fin, it's more of a cost (read: potential risk) vs benefit debate in my mind at this point.

Don't know what I'm looking for. Advice, perhaps. Objectively, I realize that fin is the only thing that can't halt further progression of hair loss. But, were I to encounter any change to my sexual function, I would likely be devastated.

Regards,
clandestine
