Is it safe to get on Finasteride as a prevention?

Not necessarily, but it does make your balding more obvious

I agree, this sh*t makes me look like I'm NW2.5-3, specially since I have a slight widow's peak and the hair on the peak is long as f***.

@DoctorHouse you seem like the wisest in here, do you recommend me asking the doctor for Proscar 5mg and split the pill in 4 (1.25mg) or do you think anything above 1mg is too risky to get side effects? Or is the 0.25mg too small to do anything negative.

You would be fine with Proscar 5mg and split it into 4 or 5 doses. 1mg vs 1.25mg is not going to make a huge difference.

Same here

Yeah I think it's something along the lines of a 1% difference in DHT reduction, so no big deal there

Hopefully I don't grow b**ch tits with it. I might update soon, hopefully on the Success section.

I doubt that's what will happen. Stopping Finasteride will just make the body go to its regular hormonal levels, it won't magically increase DHT more than it was before Finasteride.

Also, I'm not shedding but I do have thin hairs on my temples and temple peaks, now, I don't know if this is my natural hairline or not (I can't confirm with an actual specialist because I need a referal for a dermatologist and my family doctor said it was normal by just running her fingers through my temples lol), I have been monitoring my temples for 2 years and I don't see a difference but I do believe I'll further bald in the future as literally almost all males in my family are bald (father, brother, cousins, uncles, maternal grandfather was fully bald at his early-30s).

What truly worries me is:
a) I don't know if I've stopped growing (facially, heigh, frame/clavicles) and I don't if finasteride would f*** that up.
b) Getting gyno, I never had gyno (i think) but I don't know if I could develop it

I could give less of a sh*t about the sexual side effects really, I don't care if my penis dies, I doubt I would use it if I was bald, except for masturbating like a coomer.

Doubt whatever you want, I'm just passing on the experiences from people from that I've read over the last 20 years on this and many other hairloss forums. Countless people stopping and starting finasteride and dutasteride and being far worse off.

If your not worried about sexual side effects then take it and don't stop taking it. I've never heard it stunting growth, especially at 21 years old.
