Well, yeah....you're taking enough anti-androgens to turn your androgenic profile into an infant.

You would think with your concerns over the drug and your current medical disposition you’d welcome the help of a medical professional. But anyways, good luck man.

I I agree, especially when people accuse me of being “some random guy on the internet “ when I’m in the medical field and in this group to help men recover from from finasteride.

You’re kind of all over the place man. I bet you’ll decide to take it once you see your hairline regress. Look, it’s your health, do what you want, but your OP had you “on the fence” as of what, Saturday? Now you’re not going to take it? Fantastic news, let me alert CNN and let them know...

Literally in your OP you said “I’m on the fence taking it.”

Then don’t take it?

Random man who treats hair loss patients, but please don't take my word for it, it is your health.

I've seen many patients on it, guys who experience PFS are incredibly small. If you have anxiety/panic disorder or susceptible to the nocebo effect, do not go on it.

I believe the drug can have side effects based on your genetic makeup, but they are so rare. Ultimately it's up to you whether you want to use it or not, some guys would instead go bald and work on fitness then chemically castrate themselves potentially.

I've heard some users claim that the geriatric population already has a lowered libido due to age so they would be less likely to report sexual side effects. You have to wonder why we don't hear PFS among men with prostate issues that take 5mg of the medication compared to 1mg for balding...

I've prescribed it at doses up to 5mg for my geriatric patients, and I have yet to hear anything about side effects. This is a fascinating phenomenon, I think the medication may affect a small subset of men negatively, but I have a strong suspicion PFS is nothing more than nocebo effect combined...
