9 years on finasteride
Just a small reduction of volume ejaculated in the beginning. No side effects now.

Thanks for the kind words Telepinu. It's you right to research even more before starting with "vitamin P". I think it's correct that psychology plays a major factor here. I wish all the best for you.

And Yomommyz, I feel for you, but let's face with the fact that hair is not everything. Aging is something that can not be reversed. However it's sad because it does not affects everyone in such a dramatic way. I believe that all the participants on this forum have hair loss problems. It is not wrong to want your beauty back, but it's wrong to let hair loss makes you depressive.
I'm sure that your hair looks fine for everyone except for you.When you notice the first signs of hairloss, you can not stop looking in the mirror. And yes, it makes you depressive, but you must learn how to control it. Best wishes for you.

Back to the topic.
Peter88, can you please tell me about sperm count on long term usage. Do you have children? Do you had any problems when trying to conceive?

Sorry about my terrible English.

I was on propecia for about three months before stopping it. It did improve my hair loss quite well. My side-effects: the usual ED, low libido, and gynecomastia. I stopped because of gynecomastia.

I gave it six months and my symptoms improved but my hair loss was the most severe. I was back on it for 8 months. Side-effects came back and my gynecomastia was really bad. The lumps were growing bigger and my nipple hurt. I stopped again. Hair loss was massive. Gynecomastia improved a little bit but the lumps are there and now I have to have surgery.

I dont have side effects, been it solid since 2002.
