Comment:  Post finasteride syndrome, a condition that is associated with finasteride, seems to be much more rare than this article suggests.  I have always told my patients that if they get symptoms to always call me.  I usually discontinue the drug quickly. Dr. Bob Haber from Cleveland Ohio, studied this problem (see: https://baldingblog.com/comment-against-my-reporting-of-dr-habers-article-on-finasteride/). With feedback from over 50 doctors who have written prescriptions for well over a half million men, the conclusion was that they didn’t see post-finasteride syndrome if they stopped the drug relatively soon after starting it when these symptoms appeared.  The drug has helped many men with controlling hair loss in my hands, for decades.
