I fit all these criteria, but I experienced different side effects when I tried to use finasteride. Such as lower sex drive, less pleasure with orgasm, less semen production, decreased ejaculation force, slower thinking/reaction, braing fog sometimes, damn I think I even started developing gyno, maybe something else, just don't know about it. And the most noticeable and rare side effect that I experienced was acne with pus, and a lot. The first time I tried to use finasteride I lasted 3 months trying to tolerate all the crap it gave me, and my clean face was full of acne, who knows why, maybe because of increased estrogen or free testosterone, idk.
I fully recovered in 3 months and didn't experience PFS, but it harmed my flawless skin a bit, now there are few very little tiny scars on my face caused by big painful pimples.
I had some of these sides too but somehow forgot to mention. Orgasms felt dull, decreased penile sensitivity, no morning woods and also an interesting one, worse body odor?!

I am not totally against finasteride and considering how things played out for me, it turned out to be a good decision and i dont regret taking it to be fully honest. But this drug is no joke and the fact that a lot of people treat it pretty much like hair candy is just crazy(i was one of them too lol).

Do you think fina can make you fat ? I have been getting fat since I started lol
It definitely does! Especially in the beggining, looking back to some pics i took just a few months after starting finasteride, i looked puffy and bloated lol. However things stabilise with time due to the body adopting to the drug, thats what happened for me at least.

Weird bro but my sweat stank alot while on oral dutasteride. I never had smelly sweat before in my life man it must be hormonal.

If you eating the exact same amount of calories and exercising the exact amount as before finasteride, then you would be right. Are you?

Yes I literally haven’t changed much. I want to say it’s aging but it felt kind of a abrupt. I always look bloated now on this drug
