You also do not see 100000s of people on a hair loss forum. Also not sure if millions of people are on finasteride.

This is only in the US. How can u see a few 100 people commenting about their side effects and then conclude its way higher than 2-3% if MILLIONS are taking it? U cannot so don't come and tell that.

Don't forget that the US is a highly medicated nation unlike any other nation in the world. So you can't really judge worldwide use based on US numbers.

I said millions, in the us alone it has millions. Saying that side effect rate is higher than 2-3% because of the amount of people on forums is a retarded statement and u know it.

Nothing will convince you since you are invested in fina because you see it as your salvation. And fina is hormone therapy, like it or not.

Also have you read the new article from Reuters stating Merck downplaying side effects, altering studies,...

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-courts-secrecy-propecia/

Merck did it the same sh*t with Vioxx, that was confirmed. So no those 2-3% is the real "garbage", only fina takers pray it's true.

But again, nothing will change your mind. You'll have to experience it yourself, the longer you take it the more chance you will get (serious) side effects. So continue, you will find out in due time.
Use of the drug remains widespread. It is now sold as Propecia and, since 2013, in generic versions under the chemical name finasteride. Last year alone, finasteride was prescribed for hair loss more than 1.6 million times in the United States, according to healthcare data company IQVIA. U.S. President Donald Trump has taken it, according to summaries of his past two annual physical exams.

From 2009 to 2018, the FDA received about 5,000 reports of sexual side effects or mental health side effects – and in many cases, both – occurring in men who took Propecia.

5000 out of 1.6 million, checkmate. Independent studies have shown the same rate of side effects in dozens of studies. U are one of the most ironic retards i have ever met, i have no doubt u are American. U only take studies or stories serious if they confirm ur opinion. U consider dermarolling to be working without doubt, yet there is far and compelling more evidence that finaster is safe, than that dermarolling works against Androgenetic Alopecia. Yet u blindly follow it like the clueless bastard u are. U are far more against finasteride than i am pro, yet u try to pin it on me. If i had side effects i would have just quit and if i do in the future i will, which i also advice others. But u should really stop spewing ur nonsense on the internet.

Don't just disregard this post as pure bs. Think about the fact that there were thousands of cases of these exact symptoms, and for good reason: messing with your endocrine system is very dangerous, and, as observed, the symptoms don't go away even after years, so there is definitely a toggle in our body that is just phucked after taking finasteride. It's a bit like diabetes if you think about it, the pancreas just stops producing enough insulin to sustain your organism, something goes missing just like with PFS. Dem researchers just need to put their finger on that substance that suddenly disappears, but until then, I would advise you to not mess up what is basically the System32 of your organism. Please, just try the other stuff first (mino, nizoral). Maybe even save up for a hair transplant if you can. But if you do decide to take finasteride, just think that one day, you might wake up and become a zombie, albeit with thick locks.
Valid point bringing up the diabetes example as it is an endo dysfunction. Causes are different but yes, I guess at some point the endo system could stop producing certain hormones. But you know, maybe you don't need insulin anymore after a certain age :)

My good friend, I know perfectly how you think. You pray that fina is harmless, you are hopeless in your battle against hairloss and see fina as your saviour but alas... it is not, it will fck you up in time, I can promise you that.

This is a pretty bad thing to say. It's like the opposite of denying someone else's experiences when they say they have sides. Equally wrong and irrational behavior.

I think it's close to impossible to draw conclusions regarding the real percentage of people experiencing sides based on forums (whether is more or less then the 2%).

Of course it does. I had to go 4 times a year to get a new one. Also, people that buy a prescription and quit after 1 month are also included in that graph.
My point was that alot of people take it and there are not many people on forums. Don't matter if its 10 million or 1 million.
Why are you here? If ur nw2 and u started balding at 15? U story is very fishy and u have no reason to be here.

U have no reason to be here. U ain't on any treatments, all u did here was whine about ur pfs which was clearly cuz ur a donkey. If u still haven't lost any hair u clearly have no male pattern baldness at this moment.

I am on treatments and both my maternal grandfather and father are bald so it is pretty close to impossible to not go bald. Frustrated that despite me not being on finasteride I still have better hair than you?

For the rest of the forum: He is trying to offend me in Dutch by claiming I am an Norwood 7.

Sorry buddy. A Norwood II at 28. Long shoulder length curls, stabilized shedding.
