You know the effects of anabolic steroids? Yeah... That's how I've been feeling. Took ONE .5mg dose last sunday night.

-Morning erections are more frequent
-Sex drive in general feels like it's increased
-Strength in the gym seems slightly increased
-Feel "bigger" (but it's kind of a bloated feeling)
-Angrier than usual when I get upset

Hairline actually looks worst than ever to me.

after one dose? Possible I guess. I had all these symptoms, but it was after a couple months on finasteride. I definitely understand the increase in temper. I am the most calm guy any one has ever met. My friends, family and especially my gf's are shocked at how I never lose my temper. On finasteride? I lost it pretty quickly. Add in insomnia, brain fog, rapid hair loss and an over all increase anxiety and depression and that's the effects it had on me. God bless finasteride!

The only negative side I've noticed on finasteride is trouble sleeping and I sleep less, but I had some trouble sleeping before finasteride. Also, I started my career literally right as I started finasteride, so I blame it more on my job (going to bed and waking up early doesn't work for a guy who's always been a night owl and likes waking up at noon).

You're feeling the side effects of anabolic steroids. Your hairline looks worse. You're probably taking an oral anabolic steroid, not dutasteride.

Or you're just cray cray.

When I was on Finasteride I had similar effects. Never had decreased libido or anything, my libido actually skyrocketed while on finasteride. I also had majorly increased motivation, confidence, and I just felt generally a lot better and more balanced. I'm actually thinking of getting back on finasteride for these effects. I've always figured this happened because finasteride is a 5ar inhibitor so you get a build up of testosterone that is no longer being converted into DHT and as a result get effects of higher testosterone levels. And if you are someone who naturally has a lot of 5ar expressed in the body genetically then it's possible that you could be naturally low in T but high in DHT since all the T is converting to DHT due to a lot of 5ar. Then when you plug 5ar up you get a relatively high increase in T. Just my theory.

bruh...srsly....
you wont shed from dutasteride or finasteride overnight.

however you may feel the symptoms you describe cauz of the up in testosteronne by dutasteride, it will eventually nomalize
stop overthinking, just take you dutasteride for 6 months-1 year and see

That's right, your hairline changed just in one night :)

But still, I remember seeing dozens of new hair sprouting everywhere, weaker morning erections and mind fog after just two days of 0,5 finasteride, so I understand you reaction.
Bottom line - placebo :)
