Is It Possible To Still Get Side Effects After Years Of No Sides On Finasteride?

covfefe42 · Sep 3, 2019

I've been taking finasteride for 2 years now with no real sides other than slowly getting gyno (which I can live with).

If I haven't gotten sexual sides up til now, is it still hypothetically possible to get sides later down the road? I'm not sure if my worrying is irrational, and I freak out every so often about it lol. Thanks

From what I've read, I guess you re never in the clear with AAs. Gyno is a very real side effect so uf you've got that one, what stopa other sides? The other thing is that many users report a very slow onset of sides so, like gyno, you may have (or not) have sides that have been slowly creeping on you. And ai am not trying to scare you because it may very well hr nothing or have other causes. But think about it! Side can be like hair loss. Very few people actually wake up one day with considerably less hair on their head than the previous day. By the time you realise, hair loss has been present for quit some time, slowly creeping and ravaging your follicles. It's very possible that some sides do the same. Do you have any other sides aside from gyno?

Ah f***.
Only side from finasteride is gyno, but I tried Dutasteride for a while and got a ton of sides including low libido, ED and watery semen that I'm still somewhat recovering from (quit it around 5 weeks ago)
Guess I'll just stay on finasteride and pray sides don't emerge over time lol

I've red of people getting sides after 10-15 years. I guess you can also factor in age in that too though. You probably still have sides from Duta, I understand the half life is pretty long. Not all people get sexual sides on Fina so there's room for that in your story.
