Proscar side effects

[Serj]

Hi, my name is Serj, Im 23 and im in between 2 and 3 Norwood.
I started getting Proscar by crumbling the pill into the powder and then dividing
it in 5 parts.
In 5 or 6 days i felt pain in my low stomach. The pain increased in the following 3 days and I decided to quit. Also during the mentioned period i felt complete absense of sexual agitation.
Few days after I quit getting the pills everything soonly everything came back to the normal way.
I wonder how could 1/5 part of the proscar daily cause so strong negative effect in so short period? Has anyone here experienced the same situation?
How do u think - would decreasing of the finasteride dose, for example from 1mg to 0.2mg daily, solve the side effect problem in my case.

Thanks!

Do you snort it? That would be hysterical. Gunner would love that idea.

:lol:
Of course I had completely overwhelming desire to snort it
But something stopped me everytime))))))

honestly though serj, your stomach pain might be psychosomatic. The mind can do crazy things to the body when you are nervous or anxious about something. My recommendation would be to try it again and see if the pain subsides. Of course, if you cannot stand it stop and see a doctor.

Maybe u re right...
Im thinking about starting again
But I want to try in a smaller dose
Maybe somewhat 1/10 Proscar

And im also desperate about a doctor
I cant find any to help me in this situation
I came 2 a number of urologists and all them said - u shouldnt get Proscar cause its for 50yr old men who suffer prostate hyperplasia

yeah unfortunately the plain fact is that most doctors (even dermatologists) don't know that much about male pattern baldness. 1 mg of finasteride is 1 mg of finasteride, whether it's propecia or proscar.

And what pill do u get?
Did u have any similar side effects?
