Hopefully! Depression has been common in my family

Yes depression is a possible side effect of finasteride. I just found it odd how for the first 6 months i didn't experience it then suddenly it comes out of no where

great thanks!!

Hi all I'm 24 and i have been taking 1mg of propecia every other day for about 6 months now i think. I haven't experienced any regrowth yet, but there has been no further hair loss which is good. For the first month or so I was taking it everyday, but i stopped due to sides such as brain fog...

Thanks all! Do you think its worth me giving minoxidil a go? My hair is fine on the crown, it's just the hairline which is the issue. I often read about minoxidil making hair loss worse which is the only thing putting me off. Another thing, would you guys say I definitely have male pattern baldness? Or could the...

Is there anything else that i can do/try to fix my hairline?

Not sure if all these sides were because of finasteride or unrelated, but they did seem to go when i started taking it every other day! I had a mild aching pain in my testicles, lower sex drive, occasionally a sharp pain in my side and brain fog

Thanks! I have actually never noticed much hair coming out when i wash it or on my pillow, just a few loose strands which i expect to be normal. I will continue taking finasteride

Hi all! So last year I noticed that my hair line started thinning and I was getting a widows peak. I found this odd as my no one in my family is bald, everyone has great hair on both sides of the family. Once I noticed my thinning hair I decided to take action... So around October 2017 time I...

Ok thanks for the advice! Sounds like i should stop taking Propecia and I will look into your reccomendations. If i was to continue taking Propecia could the symptoms worsen and become serious do you think?

Hi all, Apologies I posted this in the wrong section so posting it again I'm 23 and recently noticed my hairline receding (I'll say im about NW2). So I started taking Propecia 3 months ago (1mg a day). I havent seen any improvement in my hair yet and I havent experienced any sides until...

Hi all, Apologies I have been asking a lot of questions about Propecia on here recently! I'm 23 and recently noticed my hairline receding (I'll say im about NW2). So I started taking Propecia 3 months ago (1mg a day). I havent seen any improvement in my hair yet and I havent experienced any...

Thanks for the advice man. Telogen Effluvium could be it, reading about it now and it kind of makes sense. I think i'm going to stop taking finasteride for now and take your suggestion on blood tests and hormone levels checked. thanks again

Can we see some pictures before using finasteride and during? Im thinking about stopping finasteride because it seems since using it my hair has become a lot worse very quickly

Bump. Really considering stopping finasteride. I wish my hair was how it was a month ago! It has suddenly become so much worse that i dont even want to leave the house. Could finasteride be causing this?
