And please don't take me as pro finasteride. Look through my posts and you won't see me telling people to take it. I just like to see people rationalize everything as it leads to better discussions and keeps speculation in check.
Absolutely
Truth is, i HAD to get taking it. If i went bald (when i will anyway) without having taken it, it would have eaten at me thinking i could and should have taken finasteride.
So at least i know it wasn't for me. Sadly i got both edges of the sword in that it didn't help my hair and i also got sides.
I can't tell someone else not to do something if they really want to. If i knew what i knew no, even if i didn't know if i would get sides or not, i wouldn't touch it.
My real message is for people that do take it, is to TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. By that i mean, monitor your bloods carefully and dont downplay any sides because you never know what subtle changes are brewing in your body over prolonged use. Its not something to mess about with you are making a commitment and your a taking a risk. Going off it can crash you whole system, too, so as i say, know what you're dealing with.
So if you have to take it, DO IT RIGHT. Do the bloods and monitor yourself.
