Coming off Finasteride - how long is safe?

[MSFB]

I have two questions:

1. How long after stopping Finasteride will hormone levels and the body return to 'normal', ie: in order to observe the difference between being 'on' and being 'off' the drug? This would be to see how side effects may be affecting me (low mood, fatigue)

2. How long is it 'safe' to stop using Finasteride for, before hair loss 'begins' again?

I understand the answers to these questions may be quite nuanced but I wondered if there was any general information or consensus out there?

Thanks guys

Hairloss begins instantly. Whether you notice or not and how long is a different matter.

Side effects is smth unpredictable.
