Children are overrated

What effect, if any, has finasteride had on the amount of your body hair? How long have you been on finasteride when you first started seeing a change (if there was one)? I know there are a number of us here interested in this very topic, so if you pass by this thread, please contribute your experiences to...

Keep in mind that if you are looking for statistics, this is the wrong place to look for it. People on the extreme (in this case negative side effects) are much more likely to come onto a forum like this and discuss their experiences. I spoke to my dermatologist about finasteride and sides, and he...

62 views and no reply.. :/

Okay, I finally got a prescription for finasteride (proascar/propecia)... I'm not "balding" anywhere, but just seeing my hair thinning, especially in the frontal sides (and have a widows peak too), so hoping to get my thickness back. I'm planning on going in tomorrow and finally getting it, but kind...

I'm going to bump this.. hoping for more replies.. Comon', I know there's a lot more of you here who have used finasteride and have experiences with this (whether no change in body hair or a drastic change)..

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I'm sure there's a lot more of you who have experience with finasteride though :P Care to share your experiences with this side effect (even if experienced no body hair loss)?

I'm 3 years younger than you and although I'm not taking it, my dermatologist didn't have a problem suggesting it.. that's funny.. just stand up to her.

Yes I've also heard this.. so it drastically reduces your body hair? Did you notice one was more effective than the other? A cup of tea a day I'm guessing? Interesting... so it's only patchy on the legs? How long did that take? Was it gradual? When did you notice the first signs of...

Hi all. While I understand this forum is mostly for hair loss talk, and really the reason I found my way here, I am not too concerned about my hair loss yet. So keep in mind that the reason for my post is not hair loss related (I have enough information about it), but about another issue: I...

I agree with these other people G k; while I appreciate a reply to my questions, the fear mongering is not helping me; you are being biased in stating your experience as facts (claiming a casual link between the drug and your problems), and without backing it up whatsoever (with medical...

Okay, I understand that, there's a chance, but I would imagine that those side effects are really rare. My dermatologist said none of his patients who were taking it had any real issues.

Thanks for the reply! So Propecia/Prosascar are DHT inhibitors? Does that mean if I take them I won't lose my ability to build muscle mass? Or does DHT play a role in that as well?

Bump..... anyone?
