Happily taking this for 25 years. No observed side effects and I have a full head of hair, which was not the case at age 30. Had two kids in the meantime.

I have PFS (Post-Finasteride Syndrome). I cannot sustain an erection during sex, suffer from genital anesthesia and/or numbness, have muted/blocked/pleasureless orgasms when I masturbate, and suffer from brain fog, memory loss, and thinking at times. I have low testosterone, extremely high FSH, and pituitary problems as a result of being on Propetia on and off for years. I’ve been off of Propecia ... Show Full Comment

I have PFS (Post-Finasteride Syndrome). I cannot sustain an erection during sex, suffer from genital anesthesia and/or numbness, have muted/blocked/pleasureless orgasms when I masturbate, and suffer from brain fog, memory loss, and thinking at times. I have low testosterone, extremely high FSH, and pituitary problems as a result of being on Propetia on and off for years. I’ve been off of Propecia for a year. Although I’ve had shock wave therapy to remove penile scar tissue and improve nerve damage and had testosterone replacement therapy, my sexual functioning and cognitive issues persist. Oh! And I became infertile on Propecia too. Fortunately, I had enough sperm left to have a baby with my wife via IVF. Stay away from this toxic and poisonous medication! It will potentially destroy your life."

At age 55 I started to notice about 15-20 hairs falling on my keyboard. It freaked me out. I started to take the 1mg of finasteride, and within about 4 months, not one single hair falls on my keyboard. Even my professional barber noticed the growth of hair, told me it is even thicker than before. It has worked for me, without fail, not sure if it will for everyone. I take every single day, wi ...

I'm 23 and took Propecia (Finasteride 1mg) daily for 7 months. Did it work? Yes and no. I noticed a 70% drop in hair loss but no regrowth during the period I took the drug. Why did I stop? After 2/3 months I noticed that the quality of my sperm had decreased (it progressively become more runny and clear) and the amount I was producing halved.

I'm 23 and took Propecia (Finasteride 1mg) daily for 7 months. Did it work? Yes and no. I noticed a 70% drop in hair loss but no regrowth during the period I took the drug. Why did I stop? After 2/3 months I noticed that the quality of my sperm had decreased (it progressively become more runny and clear) and the amount I was producing halved. For my personally I didn't want to risk my fertility in the long run as this is a drug that I would need to take indefinitely so I stopped and moved to Minoxidil. It has reduced my rate of hair loss to a similar amount however I haven't had any side affects while taking it so for me, this is a better option. I'll just add that since I stopped taking Finasteride the quality of my sperm has returned to normal so the side effect wasn't permanent, it stopped after I stopped taking the medication.

Started at 1 mg but reduced dose to .5 mg due to having testicle pain. The reduced dose has no side effects for me. Libido has never been a problem. I take for a receding hairline and started noticing small results at 10 months.
