I think you should stick with Finasteride. The reasoning would be just in case, at some point, you don't like the buzzed look and want to try something else like a hair transplant or at least lag into it with adding in hair fibers or the like.
It might be working, but I think it’s also causing depressing feelings in me which is why I’m consodering stopping. Not sure if it will subside, but hairs not worth mental health imo
I don’t think that’s what it is. I’ve been losing hair for a few years now and much more noticeably over the last 2-3 years. The depression only set in I think with the pills. I’m heavily considering discontinuing. I don’t think there’s a ton of upside to continuing unless I put in a lot of other effort in addition to taking the pills to get my hair fully restored.I've felt depressed since starting finasteride three months ago but I think this is due to the hair loss and not the drug.
Considering I was balding and not really having any notably depressing feelings before I started finasteride, clearly the drug itself will depress me more. Upon reading the article below, I think that I will discontinue taking finasteride. I want hair, but this sh!t finasteride can evidently wreck your life in multiple ways.What would depress you more - the effect of the drug or losing your hair? You could get a hair transplant if you have the money, if it's a good transplant and your lucky you may not need to keep using finasteride.

^ Finasteride effects your entire CNS, has deleterious effects on neurosteroids, increases depression and anxiety.. f*** that. It seems I'm better off without the drug.

What's CNS?
25 is probably too young for a hair transplant surgery.
When I take 1mg a day I get depression/anxiety that is directly related to the propecia no doubt about it... I take breaks and this goes after a couple days every single time.
I take .5mg 3-4x a week now and don’t suffer this at all since restarting... the way I see it, some is better than none.. i feel good and I’m still reducing dht.. if I lose hair, f*** it I tried but I’m not feeling depressed everyday to have a couple more hairs on my head
