How scared should I be of the Propecia side effects?

[WhyMe2500]

I know this has probably been done to death, but I searched on the forum and didn't find a whole lot.

I've read a ton of terrible things about Propecia and to be honest they terrify me. But should I be? I've Googled how common the side effects are and it didn't come up with much except for the horror stories.

I was just wondering how common they are? Does everyone experience decreased labido? Is the gynecomastia common? Not that those are the worst ones of course...

I'm 22 and have a receding hairline. I'd really like to get on it, but I'm worried about the side effects...

dude, it is way too overhyped all the horror stories online... to a point where some of the **** isnt even believable anymore... take propecia, try it and if it doesnt work for you then at least you know you tried. Starting early is the best thing you could do. THE WORST that could happen is u have decreased libido and you stop treatment, i am 99.9% sure you will return to normal once you stop.. and i dedicate the .1 for all the propecia help users..

gyno is def a possibility but you will be able to feel it before anything develops.
