from an interesting point of view (which affects many people with "side effects") dht is a modulator of gaba receptor and various neurosteroids.
so if you inhibit its function you dont allow allopregnanolone and androstenedione to "work" and alter neuronal excitability.

that's why should be useful, IF you suffer from dht deprivation, to supplement something that actually cross the brain barrier and "fix" the delicate gaba/glutamate balance that finasteride tends to alter.
dht is pivotal for neurosteroids functionality

Thanks, but umm... What's that mean in plain English?
I'm trying to figure out if I'm responding to the drug. I see no difference in my hair so I'm wondering if there is some other sign I should notice.

sorry didnt mean to be not clear.
how many months? no difference in your hair would be a great success for most people in terms of hair loss.
dont look for signs on the internet if you dont feel anything out of the ordinary, if I may suggest.
finasteride takes time to be effective.
I've been on it 3 months. No difference at all. I've had no sides effects, no decrease in libido, I'm 44 and had prostate problems and that has gotten better.

No reason to stopping so far. you may want to add minoxidil 5% at your regimen in a different moment of the day and a weekly use of 1,5mm dermaroller. Its cheap and without issues.
If you have concerns about finasteride i suggest to keep checked androstenedione levels (sexual precursor) from time to time. It takes just a blood sample.
Def not the internet symptons
My only concern is that it may not work. If I just maintain I'd be happy but the only way to know if it's working now is to see regrowth.
DHT is incredibly important during puberty as it’s directly responsibly for sexual characteristics in men.
Many people state that it isn’t important after puberty. Although that may be the case there are others that argue that It is still important after puberty.

Hair loss is the main issue it causes after puberty. It’s the negative affect of it. If you ask people on the forums a majority will likely say it’s not of much use for you after puberty but those that experience severe side effects from its reduction because of Finasteride 1MG will state that DHT is incredibly important for a man.
Which group is right? Most likely both. Most individuals can get away without experiencing any side effects from its reduction but I believe a minority will unfortunately be negatively affected by its suppression.
Aside from causing hairloss in your age group DHT won’t have the same use like during puberty. Taking Finasteride under the age of 18 is wrong in my opinion and I never recommend it.
