Generally throughout my life I have been very sensitive to medications. Not allergic, but just very sensitive...I'm always taking the lowest dose possible b/c of that. Anyway because of my sensitivity does anyone know if I might be in for an adverse reaction? Is finasteride easy to stomach? What does one feel while on finasteride?? Also....if anybody here been sensitive to meds throughout their life and taken finasteride can they tell me what they experienced. I know most people are going to say everybody is differnt and will react differently, thats a given. I just want to hear some opinions and experiences if possible. Thanks!

If you're young I wouldn't be scared of finasteride. The side effects only occured in 1% of young/ middle aged adults. The trials for proscar (generic propecia, not advertised as hairloss meds) was only 10-20% of men who were over the age of 50 and who had an enlarged prostate.

You'll never really know until you tell, the side effects were not permanent, so worst case scenario, you simply be with a decreased sex drive for a short while.

You could say that.

Have you ever stopped to think that there are hundreds of other conditions that can cause the same side effects with or without finasteride?
