Worrying about post finasteride syndrome?

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 live.

Life is too short to spend every second worrying about your hair. It is one aspect of who you are. Even if fin/dut doesn’t work for you all it means is a different haircut. And if anyone doesn’t like you for being bald then cut them out of your life.

Assuming that Post finasteride syndrome is real, I advise patient that if they get sexual side effects, to stop the medication. The alternative oral minoxidil is a reasonable choice followed by topical finasteride.
