Hey man the side effects are real. I took Propecia in 2000 and in 2003 at age 25 I had sexual side effects. I kept taking it until 2005 when I stopped and I recovered from the sexual side effects in 2009. But from 2003 to 2009 my life pretty much sucked. I had to take Viagra for it to work, but it was never the same. Thankfully not having it in my body for 4 years was the only thing that helped - I tried everything I bought pills from loveaction.com or actionlove.com, I would boil broccoli and drink the juice, had a running regimen. I went to a Dr. who told me to see a therapist. I had extensive bloodwork and everything came back normal.
The reality is these drugs are dangerous and Dr’s don’t really know why certain drugs work and why side effects happen. You can take it but like anything it is a risk. You may never have side effects, or you may.
