What I would do is I would test the waters with finasteride first to see how my body reacts to 5AR inhibitor.

'Cept and not talking about OP, many guys think one usage even for minimal amounts of time can cause permanent impotence and brain fog. In my experience, such long-lasting sides appear to be quite rare. spironolactone tortured me for a year until I ditched it but then I quickly returned to baseline.
