I really cannot comment on what you are experiencing. You may have other issues unrelated to Propecia. You list a wide variety of complaints that seem random and unrelated. In addition, as much as I believe in Propecia, the drug does not necessarily give you a head of hair of a 16 year old as […]

This is a question for your prescribing doctor who knows your medical history. Generally speaking, finasteride does not seem to produce problems with most other medications.
Any doctor who is worth anything at all, must be compassionate and caring. I would stay away from doctors who are not that way. Most of my patients are anxious when they come in for the hair transplant and many will have elevated blood pressure when there is no history of high blood pressure. The […]
You really need to discuss these issues with your doctor, as there may be other medical problems unrelated to Propecia (finasteride 1mg) or balding. Generally speaking, increased libido is a very real side effect of Propecia (some people think that there is about 10% of men taking Propecia who report this, but I don’t have […]
If you do not have hair loss from this medication, I would not anticipate it. You should be reactive to what is happening, not what might happen. Focusing upon managing your anxiety is far more important, because stress is a significant cause of hair loss.
Occurrence of hair loss can be due to several factors. Although most the common cause of hair loss at your age is male pattern baldness, anxiety could be considered an aggravating factor for your hair loss. Hair loss is not one of the commonly known side effects of Xanax. We hear from our patients who […]
Finasteride blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT. As a result, there will be a temporary increase in testosterone and changes in androgens as well which might (theoretically) produce side effects like those experienced by women with PMS. One of my patients had a real complaint like this and he was a very credible physician. […]
I’ve developed a significant anxiety around accidentally pulling scalp hair out (I don’t mean hair that has reached the end of its cycle and is meant to come out, I mean active anagen hair. It can happen, for instance if hair gets caught in something like a zipper). To help put this phobia into perspective, […]
I recently discovered that Dutasteride has a half life of 4-5 weeks. I am considering getting off of Dutasteride (daily usage for about 3 years) completely because I feel like it is heavily contributing to my anxiety (timing is very similar). I am on no other hair loss remedies currently but have had one temporal area […]
Hello Dr Rassman, I’ve had a lot of anxiety over finasteride not haunting my loss, it’s been 14 months since I started treatment and I’m unsure but do feel like my hair is worse than earlier this year. What can I do? Finasteride works, I believe, in 100% of men by either slowing, stopping or […]
My hairline has both started thinning and receding; I’m probably a Norwood 2/2.5. He shows no signs of receding / thinning. I wonder what sort of things could cause this? I’d say we live pretty identical lives in terms of activity/diet / don’t smoke / medications, nothing crazily out of proportion. So I wonder what […]
Mid 40s, started losing hair in my early 20s. It progressed pretty slowly but consistently over the years and I figured I would let it gracefully fall out. A couple years ago it went into fallout over drive and I’m just not ready to give it up quit yet. Pretty sure the copious amount of […]
So three months ago, I decided to hop on a min/fin 0.1% formula that made my derm (my anxiety and depression were still strong during this time). I applied it once a day in the mornings. The formula really works, in only these three months, I have recovered a lot of my hair to the […]
I did research and saw it’s important to take fin for a year prior to FUE, but did my research a little too late, and discovered this sub after I had my FUE a week ago…. It’s too late to turn back time, and I started taking fin now post-op, but I have anxiety that […]
If I read correctly, Fin is not linked to cancer? This was just a misconception? Are there any other long term health side effects aside from mood and ED? You are correct. Most focused side effects have been focused on sexual side effects from finasteride. There are also depression, anxiety and cognitive complaints (brain fog) […]
