Wtf is ridiculous about the article, you completely miss the point. Here I'll highlight the subtitle for you, try to spin it again and laugh about the man's suicide;


A REUTERS SERIES
Court let Merck hide secrets about a popular drug’s risks
Lawsuits claim baldness drug Propecia causes sexual problems and depression. The judge sealed evidence – uncovered by Reuters – suggesting the maker downplayed the side effects. A widow wants the truth out.


Also men who take fina/duta for their prostate are men above 50/60 years old, of course sex is less important then.

Bro i talked about this all the fuckin time here ! and this is not an opinion this is a fact i READ : the majority of men taking fina for prostate are 60 years old and over +.

Of course the sexual sides will be 10 times less important versus a 23 years old male at his life sexual peak (an age his suppose to be a sexual beast)

This man is forty years old, with a wife and kids. I am almost certain the wife would have been supportive in the situation, unless she shamed him. And I’m pretty sure kids are meant to be the light of your life, but it looks as if he put his alleged sexual health first before his kids, which is ridiculous.

This man who committed suicide is forty years old with a wife and kids. Maybe having sexual issues at a younger age is embarrassing, and you could have shame over it. But when you have a wife and kids, there should be no shame because you have a alleged beautiful family at the end of the day. In my opinion, this man had depression and commit suicide due to that, and its links to finasteride are just speculation and there’s nothing more to it. Maybe he had background issues, or something bad happened to him and no longer felt there was a purpose to live?

Exactly, except the option of suicide would not have been there.

To me it’s not suicide, it’s direct death caused by the drug there is no way out of this suffering. Putting the sexual sides to one side nobody can understand the true horrifying nature of this condition. It will suck and drain the happiness out of you, I wake up the mornings and the depression is unimaginable, there hasn’t been a day in 7 months that I haven’t cried. There is no amount of antidepressants, psychiatrists or hormonal therapy that can help with this condition as it messes around with brain chemistry (neurosteroids) which have antidepressant effects and the central nervous system is depended on 5alpha reductase that is why I’m displaying severe nerve pain. Deprived of these valuable hormones the body begins to break down, it’s truly shocking the state it has left me. Finasteride should never be given to anyone under the age of 60 and even at that the urologist told me they gets sides from the drug.

We don't know if the man's sexual health was the only side effect he had from fina, look at OP's list of side effects, everybody would get depressed on that.

Btw, what about the young men who killed themselves with no kids because of fina side effects, is that ridiculous too? Are you downplaying their death too?

Again, there is no proof that it has a relation to finasteride. Mental health is an issue within the younger generation, with skyrocketed cases of depression, anxiety, etc. I’m young, and if my life ended by my own sword, my parents would most likely blame the medications I’m on too because they don’t know my life.

i never said this man committed suicide becaue of finasteride... i totally agree with you that he could have had some others serious mental issues !

STILL.. having sexual issues and being unable to please any woman sexually in your 40's can still be a major issue for a man, no matter if he's got a wife, kids or not.

I work with a lot of guys in their 40's and some of them have sex practically every day !!.

No disrispect at all ! but You said yourself that your are an unsexual human pretty much, and thats all right !

But for me not being able to 100% please a woman sexually would be FAR worse than having a shaved head.

Depression because of fina is the likely cause, read the article about how her man changed after he started taking fina.

Your narrative that fina does not cause depression is completely false.

We won’t know the full story, she is most likely just upset that her husband is gone and she needs something to blame to make sense of why he did it. And, we don’t know if he has a history of depression, so your narrative that finasteride caused it is completely false and is speculation.

Nonsense. If I say he'd possibly behave in the same way that obviously includes the f*****g suicide.
Btw it's a pretty pointless question to ask. None of us have even ever met the guy, there is no way for me to know and answer this sincerely.

If my dad committed suicide because he couldn’t ‘please his wife sexually’, I would only have hate for him for doing something that selfish, and I would blame my mother for not supporting him. Sometimes you have to put things first, and he should have put his kids first rather than his alleged sexual health.

There is plenty of proof that it depletes neurosteroids in the brain that just shows you you’re very misinformed. Explain why I never had a history of depression or anxiety and after taking the pill I began to display severe uncontrollable depression?

Here is the proof that finasteride depletes neurosteroids and inhibits them in the brain.

Which is why other anti-androgens should be used for hair loss rather than 5AR inhibitors. I’m sure gynecomastia would be lesser of the two evils, especially considering those side effects you’re mentioning from finasteride sound pretty severe!

I mean, maybe after you realised that your penis is small, you got depressed and are anxious about people’s opinions? Who knows?

hmm taking dutasteride since last november, already have a history of severe depression and anxiety, dutasteride hasn't made one iota of a difference to my mental state. I do think some people are just very unlucky with 5ar inhibitors, glad im not one of them. But they are still the best first line of defense against balding, saying they should be banned is a severe overreaction and is depriving countless men from keeping their hair

Haha, it's clear you know nothing about the poison you're taking. I understand you don't want to see the truth about the dangerous game you're playing. You are fcking up your endocrine system.

Low libido is the least of your worries and in due time you will experience bad side effects, that's a guarantee, enjoy your ignorance for now just like the other hopeless balding guys. Lol if you think low libido and gyno are the only things you will get... no wonder Ikarus is able to sell his hormone treatment to so many idiots here, they know nothing.
Lmao. I'm not sold that treatment by Ikarus; in fact we have not a single pill in common if you see. The meds I'm taking have been taken and studied for years - spironolactone for acne, hirsutism and in trans people, finasteride in baldness and bph. Fortunately, I have been able to completely stop my hairloss with these two drugs with only side being slight gyno in one nipple. I don't even have low libido.

2 very different drugs and mechanisms of action. If people want to play around with 5alpha inhibitors I won’t stop them but they should be warned about the extreme dangers of such drugs. I have talked with countless men all over the world from teachers, doctors, business owners who have had their life destroyed by the drug and that is a testament that it could happen to anyone at anytime.

I don’t have empathy because your goal is to scare others into not treating their hair loss, because of your negative experience, when you barely suffer from hair loss. Some of these hair loss sufferers on this website have been left severely depressed, and paralysed, because of their hair loss. Which is why these medications are important, and give people the chance to heal. People like me are having to self-medicate because doctors don’t take us seriously, and these doctors don’t take us seriously because of people like you.

Ah, it's been completely opposite for me - my depression went away after like 2 months of Finasteride.

Would your woman be pleased more by seeing your bald head than she would have been if you're full head?
