since most people out there are so worried about starting propecia because of all teh horror stories, i'll just tell u whta the deal is in my experience. so i've been on it for 2 months now. i think i went through a shedding phase. i hae a white pillow and would count the number of hairs i'd lose every nite by counting them in the morning. i'd usually lose about 20 per nite. lately its been about 5-10 hairs per nite. i dont experience any sexual side effects. one thing that i do notice though is that i really dont get morning wood anymore. no balls aching, no lack of sexual desire, no watery semen.
