Last year I went through some very rough months which have left me with some anxiety and other problems and during those months I noticed a very drastic decline in […]

I’ve noticed a little bit of depression, anxiety, and mood swings. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience and if anyone could tell me how long after stopping would these effects go away? Also, when is finasteride completely gone from your system? Thanks guys and have a great day It could take […]
I have decided to start microneedling but I do not want to use minoxidil or finasteride. I am very worried about the possible side effects and also, I heard that once I stop taking them, hair fall is going to begin again. Finasteride is a definite no no for me, as I used to suffer […]
I am a 27 year old male who recently ascribed to getting finasteride, and I was wondering in your experience how often have you met patients who had serious side effects on it? I am well read on the subject(I think) of sides, as well as the ‘nocebo’ effect. And I could not care less […]
At what point do you know that it has receded beyond a mature hairline? And by asymmetrical, do you mean that the forelock can remain in the juvenile spot while the temples mature faster? I’ve been told by a professional I am not balding but I still remain super anxious about it. Though I do […]
I (21F) have always had dense, silky straight hair. Around 2 years ago I noticed some sparser sections along my hairline, but I had pretty bad anxiety so I chalked up to that. About a year ago I went on BC (LoLo Fe) and noticed about 2 months after starting that my hair was starting […]
Post-finasteride syndrome: An emerging clinical problem Author links open overlay panelSilviaDiviccaroRoberto CosimoMelcangiSilviaGiatti Abstract The presence of side effects during pharmacological treatment is unfortunately a quite common problem. In this review, we focused our attention on adverse events related to 5 alpha-reductase (5?-R) inhibitors (i.e., finasteride and dutasteride), approved for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia […]
Ever since week two post op, I’ve been experiencing a lot of stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, and even panic attacks a few times. All of this is due to family issues, losing my job, and an underlying depression. These stressful issues have resulted in a very inflamed scalp. I’m now 2 months post op. […]
Basically it’s all in my head and I’m really struggling with it. I’ve been on 0.5mg of Finasteride for about 7 months, I have my ups and downs but it’s worked wonders for my hair. When I started I couldn’t get a hard on during sex, id wake up with morning wood so I know […]
5 alpha-reductase inhibitors (5ARI) include finasteride and dutasteride, and are commonly prescribed in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia. 5ARIs are associated with several known adverse effects (AEs), with varying reported prevalence rates. The aim was to review and summarize findings from published literature detailing AEs associated with 5ARI use. A secondary […]
Hi doctor, what do you think of this article? https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-courts-secrecy-propecia/ TLDR: The article indicates that Merck appears to have lied about side mental effects of this drug. I have read the article previously. There is nothing to link finasteride to the change in behavior with absolute certainty. This type of change can happen in mental illness […]
Just curious but has anyone had experience with telling their work colleagues or bosses that they were going to get a hair transplant to clear the air, etc.? Or have you told them after the fact at all? If so, what was their reaction like / how did people take it generally? I’m planning on […]
The Post: After Hair Transplants, many doctors ignore patients’ questions – why? was followed on Reddit where it was posted initially with the following responses. I think that my point was understood. Comment 1: Yes I totally agree. I had a good transplant so I am ok and don’t had much to complain about (post […]
Right now I am 20 years old, full hair norwood 0, but after finding out about this community I can’t stop thinking that I will go bald. My father is bald, but my mom’s side has no hair loss. Is there some test that a doctor can do on me that can determine whether I […]
