    Post Family of suicide victim speak out against hair-loss drug Propecia

    Randy Santmann was in his early 20s and he was losing his hair.

    Like millions of other men suffering hair loss, he got a prescription for the drug Propecia.

    Three years later in 2008, Santmann, just 22, killed himself. His Montgomery family says the Propecia is to blame.

    They want to blame it on Propecia of course. They're not going to blame it on their stupid genes they passed on to their poor son.

    If people really cares about hair loss sufferers killing themselves. Get a f-cking cure, right now, not in 5 years. Stop going around blaming these deaths on a pill's side effect.

    I can wholeheartedly say, that finasteride has prevented ME from killing myself. It has definitely bought me extra quality time with my hair.

    Before Randy took his life, he wrote on the PropeciaHelp forum that it was the mental side effects that were causing his suffering (and not the hairloss as a consequence). Its really a shame that you are trying to personally blame him for the tragedy that affected his whole family.

    I didn't blame him in any of my comments.

    What is with the guy claiming that the Propecia causes genital shrinking? I have never heard such a claim before. How is this even possible?

    I don't know.
    If you look at PropeciaHelp.com, there are claims of many "unheard-of" side effects from this drug. Some are probably legitimate fringe sides, while others are probably not (i.e. mistaking correlation for cause).

    Needless to say, I'd reconsider my decision to take fin if I started losing volume "down there." But then, if I go bald, penis size will be the least of my worries.
