I just saw some horrible percentage of patients having side effects from taking Propecia. It was 82%. OMG That means that 8 of 10 people using propecia have experienced side effects. I do believe that these numbers are correct because there are millions of people reporting side effects from the drug.
So I want to know is there at least one person on this forum - without side effects from teking Propecia.

um.. I don't know where you saw that, but its probably bogus..They say about 2% experience side effects, I would think its more around 20%.... that seems more reasonable.. we'll never really know.

Yeah - i think you need to flip thopse stats round.

I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice. All opinions and views shared are my own. "Research-Research-Research"

wonder whr did u see that number??

Ok, I will do my best to find the newspaper so I can scan it and i can post it here,because I was unable to find on-line version of the study.
It's a study from Macedonian Health Association in 2007-2009, an experiment performed on 100 patients suffering from MPB (1mg finasteride/daily)
After the study,Macedonian Health association strongly recommends not to use finasteride for hair loss.
THE STUDY WAS NOT FINANCED BY ANY DRUG COMPANY.IT WAS FINANCED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA(MINISTRY OF HEALTH).
82 of them reported side effects.
Side effects reported:
1. Decreased libido (sex drive)
2. Erectile dysfunction (impotence or ED)
3. Decreased ejaculate amoun
4. Signs of an allergic reaction, including unexplained skin rash, itching, hives, unexplained swelling, wheezing, or difficulty breathing or swallowing
5. Breast tenderness or breast enlargement
6. Testicular pain.

What I think is that FDA do not care for you and for me. It's probably one of the most corrupted organizations in the world, and those numbers of side effects (about 2% according to Merck and FDA) are nothing but false.(My opinion)Do you know how FDA employees are paid? Mostly from a part of the profit of all drug companies in USA.

Unexplained wheezing, difficulty swallowing, hives, itching? I think this is a bit general wouldnt you say? I mean how long have these people been on it with the tests being done? At any given point one is susceptible to getting any of these and it may just be common to attribute it to a drug your taking, especially one that has so much rumor and noise around it.

Also, things like decreased libido may be hard to pinpoint. Especially if you are going in with the expectation that it will happen.

Its not uncommon that people go online, read the symptoms to a desease or a medicine's side effects and suddenly think that they have them. Our mind is very strong.

Personally, coming from the Balkans myself, I dont know how much I trust the medical reports made by them. They may not necessarily be anymore trustworthy than the FDA, which is at least supported by top-notch men in the field.

Its also a bit brash to say that the FDA "doesnt care for you". There are human beings in those research groups, not robots aiming purely at revenue and as such conscious in many of those man does play a role.

Ok, it's good to hear from the other side. With all due respect to your opinion, I think thaht you should see these videos.
Just type FDA corruption on google and and it will return 6,000,000 + results
THERE ARE NO HUMAN BEINGS IN FDA. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CORRUPTED EVIL MACHINES ONLY.

http://video.google.com/videos...emb=0&aq=0&oq=FDA+c#

And of course, all these videos are made by USA citizens, not citizens from the Balkans, who are "unreliable " according to you.
I just read that there are NO studies for long term side effects from finasteride 1mg, but it is approved by FDA as safe drug. OMG !!!
FDA is is responsible for killing of over 1 million American citizens, mostly with that FDA approved ASPARTAME.These are not my words.
And now, you will tell me that there are human beings in FDA that cares for us ? Come on...

When I first started taking Propecia, for the first week my testicles did hurt, and kind of tingled in a way. I don't know how to explain it, it was weird. That however eventually subsided. I do notice a decrease in libido, but I still have a healthy sex drive I would say. As far as ED, I have had no problems with that or any other of the aforementioned side effects.

Thanks for your reply Yomommyz.God bless U2, and all American citizens, although I'm from Macedonia, I know how FDA is killing you slowly. And what is really weird, most of the doctors in USA are even blinded or corrupted by the FDA. I read that most of the dermatologists in USA take percentage for every Propecia prescription.
Let's spread this posts to the world so anyone can see about the REAL PERCENTAGE of side effects from Propecia. They claim that only 2% of the patients have experienced side effects. We will show that this number is more than 80%.
And for those Propecia and FDA advertisers - SHUT UP !!! No one believes in you any more...
I strongly believe in that Macedonian study.
Although the question was:
Anyone not having side effects from Propecia, every post here is about HAVING SIDE EFFECTS FROM PROPECIA.
Is there at least ONE?
