Ive been on finasteride for a week now and here is what happened so far. I assure you that there is no nocebo effect here as I went in with a positive mindset and I still do believe that for most people finasteride will not do any harm.
1. My hair fall hasn't stopped. Still easily 300+ hairs in the shower every day, and my scalp is continuing to become more visible in light. I suspect that at this current rate I will look bald in 5 or so months. Obviously this is expected, I am not expecting results after 1 week and I am sure the medication just needs more time to kick in. Scalp soreness and itch still persist.
2. My libido has definitely dropped significantly. For the past 3 days I haven't got a single boner at all which is very unusual for me. Today I tried to beat the meat just to make sure everything was working and it took me 15+ min of watching videos just to get it up which is also very unusual. However, once I did get it up, my boner was just as hard as it usually is and even the orgasm was no different than before finasteride. It was just getting it up in the first place that was difficult. Also my nut was basically water when usually is it much thicker and stickier.
3. Whenever I take the pill, my index finger and pinkie finger become numb for like 10-15 min. This is the most weirdest thing, its not really a negative side effect but its just odd. I have never heard of this happening to anyone before online lol. I assure you this is def not nocebo but its just weird lol. If any of you experience something similar please let me know.
My question is, at this point is it worth continueing to see if the sides go away by themselves? Have any of you had sides at first but then it went away and you were able to use finasteride for years with no problems?
My dad went full bald (was rocking captain picard look) at 21 (my age currently) and he lost it all within 2 years. We have aggressive male pattern baldness in our family where once it starts we lose it all quickly. Every single male past the age of 25 on my dads side is NW5 at lowest with diffuse thinning.
Any advice/thoughts is apreciated!
