  1. Hello, I've been taking finasteride for a little more than a year now. I started at 1mg daily, and then moved to 1.25mg daily (due to using generic proscar). I was stressed at the time of starting, and shortly after I became slightly/moderately depressed. I blamed it on life circumstances. I still am mildly depressed and suffering from anxiety, but now I am also experiencing bad mood swings and anger outbursts. Anyway, I'm not yet blaming finasteride but I am taking it into consideration before I consider taking anti-depressants. Questions: (I am looking for scientific numbers, or anecdotal if that's all you have, but I am not looking for scaremongering) How long after quitting finasteride should I expect hormone levels to return to normal? How long after quitting finasteride should I expect the (potential) psychological symptoms to subside? How long after quitting finasteride should I expect hair loss? Assuming that I do notice a disappearance in symptoms, and decide to get back on finasteride at a lower dosage: What is the lowest dosage that has been proven successful for long-term hairloss? Thanks for the help
