Report: Indisputable Proof That Finasteride Causes Sexual Side Effects In Forum Users

[Xander94]

Exactly. Engineering hair follicles without androgen receptors or at least with normal amounts of them (like the hair on the sides & back) would be a first step in the right direction. This is where companies like Replicel could really shine if they got this right.

A long dream in a galaxy far away, best thing we'll get is a better minoxidil treatment IMO whether it be follica or sammumed in the next 3 years.

This post is absolute cope².

Fina blocks one if not the most important male hormone, so yes it definitely is a hormonal therapy. And do your really believe fina/duta will only impact your hair and leave the rest of your body intact?

These people can just consider themselves lucky if they never get side effects, especially once they quit the drug and move on to another hair treatment - that's usually the breaking point for those at risk of PFS.

For me it has been 3 years since quitting Finasteride, and since then I haven't been the same. My mental and sexual abilities have been severely damaged this entire time, and in 2 years did not get better by themselves one bit. Only now after spending several hundreds of dollars of various supplements of which most did nothing except tribulus, went as far as to do a bicalutamide cycle to try and reset my receptors, raloxifene, letrozole, and numerous other blind shot attempts to get back to normal, I have some semblance of mental and sexual function back. At most I would say 60% of normal, but from the time I spent on PropeciaHelp a majority there are not even as lucky as I am in their attempts to recover.

RU is about as far as I'm willing to go for hair anymore and I am hovering around a NW2.5 diffuse now, close to pre-Propecia. I'm willing to use experimental things but all 5-AR inhibitors are dead to me forever, after what I have gone through with them. I wouldn't really wish for anyone to have such terrible luck with these medications, but I completely understand the people who use them, because 4 years ago, I was in the exact same position, and had no choice but to start taking Finasteride. You live and learn, though.

Considering only 3-5% ever get side effects i wouldn't call that luck.

The percentage becomes completely irrelevant once you are the one who's hit.

That’s actually a very good point. If you suffer anything in life it won’t matter what the percentage is with other people.

The first part I could agree. It all depends on how much you can deal with the side effects.

For example Ikarus doesn't care about sex, so he doesn't care at all if he got zero libido.

But for any normal, healthy male interested in sex, this is a very important issue.

And again plenty of people here who havent got sides and have only seen benefits and if you dont like that- f*** off.

No. This is the new research forum. You’re being a dick.

By the numbers more than half of our community experience side effects - it doesn’t matter if we’re the 3-5% over the total number bevause we are IN a forum that’s about NEW research.

Why is that so hard to wrap your tiny brains around.

I’m not trying to argue with anyone here but I’m trying to understand the usefulness of this discussion. This is a hair loss forum.
Everyone here is
1) experiencing hair loss (or think they’re experiencing hair loss) or

2) experiencing side effects from hair loss treatments or

3) both

otherwise they wouldn’t be here. It’s logical that the number of people on here who are reporting side effects is going to be MUCH higher than the percentage listed by the drug company. Maybe I’m missing something but the number could be 100% of people on this forum/poll and still be only 3-5% of the total people using finasteride. Again I’m not taking any sides here but this poll doesn’t represent a random sample. I don’t think anyone would argue that the number reported in this poll should logically be significantly higher than 3-5%. Not sure why so many people here spend so much time attacking each other over this.

The anti-finasteride cult refuses to accept that this poll is not even close to being a representative sample. Especially @Pigeon with his birds nest. They will take whatever random in vitro study or mouse model study or mechanistic data they can get their hands on to make their point while the most important data which is outcome data on 1000s of people taking finasteride is already here for years. U'll have better luck arguing against a toddler than these people.

And for the record I’ve been on finasteride for 18 months and it did jack sh*t for my hair loss. In fact I’ve lost more hair in 18 months than I have over the last 10 years. So I’m in the minority percentage of people who didn’t even get maintenance. But if I ran a poll on here asking what percentage of people who took finasteride for at least 12 months and failed to halt their hair loss I’d likely get a result far northward of 50%. So would I then conclude that finasteride is only effective for half of all people? Of course not. The only conclusion I could possibly draw from that data is that 50% of people on a hair loss forum didn’t respond which is a completely meaningless and irrelevant data point considering they are on a hair loss forum looking for answers about why finasteride didn’t work for them.

Inbefore take ur hormonal treatment finasteride pills u trannies!!!! Look at merck and vioxx!!!! Cope!!!

Exactly. I created this thread. And admins created the main new research topic this thread is part of.

Go away .

Yawn.

Im equally perplexed as to why anybody would spend time in a “new research” forum, praising finasteride, to a specific group of people it didn’t work for?!?

Class A douche bag.

This thread is bogus anyways u crybaby. Stop with ur new research bs when clearly this is no new research.

I love @ScaredOfBalding , his insecurity about the daily poison he takes is absolutely hilarious. Hope he stays here to amuse me.

Weak adhominem by the birds nest himself. Stay mad because u have b**ch tits and a limp dick.

At what point does this argument over Finasteride stop? This has been going on for years. Most people are fine on the drug but a minority can potentially get persistent serious side effects. What more is there to say.

Because the birds nest keeps saying that over time everyone gets sides from finasteride. He is a bitter nw7 rat who likes to misinform people with his self proclaimed polls.

I don’t have a problem with pigeon or anyone else whose had side effects as realistically they do occur. I just don’t understand people trying to generalise it one or the way. Not everyone will end up fine on the drug and not everyone will end up with side effects.
