It is not safe . I know a guy that took 3 pills and have been messed up for years. Check out a site called Propecia help and see the thousands of men there with horrific ongoing symptoms that have not went away even years after stopping this medication. I’ve read one guys post that […]
Please tell me about post finasteride syndrome, is it real? Is taking finasteride worthy it? Can you havd pfs for taking one to two months of using finasteride? your experience from finasteride? Thank you If someone complains about permanent sexual side effects, to him it is real. Many doctors doubt the existence of PFS, but […]
There is so much fear mongering around it, but the chances are so slim that you will ever have permenant side effects. It will honestly take such a weight off your shoulders knowing your hair loss has been halted or at least significantly slowed. So just take it already, forget about your hair loss and […]
Just curious. You have had zero people with PFS, how many prescriptions have you given out over the years? I’m guessing in the thousands? I have written thousands of Rx for finasteride since it first came out. Also many other doctors who are full time in this business compared notes and not one of them […]
A simple question that I don’t I find very often an answer to it. I have minor Fin side effects for some time now and I’m sure they won’t go away. My erection works and it gets fully hard, but it takes a bit longer than before. I do get morning wood, but I do […]
The first week I took it I felt completely fine. The second week however, I experienced some ED, as well as less energy, but I chalked it up to not getting enough sleep or just overthinking it. 3rd week however was when I started seeing development of gyno and severe ED. This is ridiculous I […]

I will not vouch for the contents of this video, but worth looking at if you have PFS. One poster on Reddit said his PFS was cured following the advice given in the video

PFS patients often don’t follow up with their original doctors (as was the case here). There’s not much of a point really other than to inform the doctor what happened. Sometimes they do and the original doctors downplay the situation, tell the patient it will go away, and when it doesn’t they don’t bother following […]
good afternoon Dr. Wrassman, I would like your opinion on the use of HCG to reverse the effects of PFS. This user reports reversal in 6 months after HCG administration: https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/finally-cured-from-post-finasteride-syndrome.33215/ “…After nearly 4 years of suffering, I have finally & fully recovered from Post Finasteride Syndrome All my symptoms have subsided and improved with this […]
I was hoping you could answer my question. How many of your patients who are on finasteride have experienced permanent side effects (PFS)? I am not on fin, but am seriously considering it, except the possibility of permanent side effects are obviously not reassuring. Thanks for your time. My group has probably written over 10,000 […]
A reader on Reddit answered it this way. Not a bad attempt but I can’t endorse it all. I see incidence reports that run from 1% to .1%. Here is the reddit response 0,02 % of people based on clinical studies made from pfs foundation…. This is 1 of 5000 people in lifetime during using […]
