You look like you might get some regrowth on top/crown with meds. sides, if you even experience any, are reversible when you get off. I've been on 10 yrs and I'm on the more potent avodart. Doing fine and keeping hair. You can only know by trying. It's weird how people are scared of these sides, but will pick up a cigarette (lung cancer) or alcohol (liver damage), artificial sweetener (cancer in rats), but 2% chance off reduction of labido, Whooooo, I don't know about this.
