advice on restarting proscar/finasteride

[magid]

I've been on and off rogaine (2%, 5% and foam/liquid) for over a year now. I started it when I was 15 and hair began to diffuse on top. My hairline is now receding badly and my gp/derm both suggested finasteride 1mg. I tried it for a few days about 2 months ago but hated the "testicular aching" and decrease of libido (maybe my mind caused it) I also noticed watery semen. I'm currently 16 and want to give finasteride another try (the sides went away after stopping the drug) because I've read that these sides could simply be the bodys initial reaction to the drug and may disappear after a week.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Personal choice.

Personally speaking (and from my own experience) i woudl say if you've been shown to develop sides, ESP watery semen, you really shouldn't take the drug. I've been off it a year and ive still got these sides (they got worse).

Look into CB-03-01. Safer and potentially more effective!

You're too young to take finasteride. When you're 16 and in the middle of puberty you shouldn't be blocking off one of your hormones vital to developing your body.

who gave u finasteride dont tell me it was a doctor? at 16 ur way too young, it will definitely harm ur body u need DHT to develop during adolescence. Try topical anti androgens like RU and CB for now.
