As a lot of people report here, not everybody has worrying side-effects. The best signal is your own body. It is most probable that over 2-3 years my type of side-effects start appearing(headache). It is important to listen to your body signals.

I am 28, Norwood/Hamilton 3, work out every day for an hour. 80 squats, run, lower abdominal work out pulling legs up while pending on a bar, run, 12 pushups with parallel bar, 7 pullups with bar, run, 140 abdominal crunches, run, 12 more pushups with parallel bar, run, 100 meters sprint, arm and leg stretching, 30 traditional pushups. Basically military training. My diet is healthy and abundant in carbohydrates(mostly), vegetables, dried fruits(Fig, goji, raisins, plums, etc.), nuts, small quantities of meat, salmon, natural juices, etc. I just recently, two months ago, started ingesting Ginseng 500mg capsule, Cod Liver Oil capsule, Biotin 200mcg pill daily. And apply GNC Biotin shampoo daily on the scalp. I started taking 1mg of finasteride and Minoxidil %5 in 2008, and had some weeks and probably a month of rest every now and then. The side-effects were moderate, watery semen and mild erections. I was still hoping for more independent scientific studies evidencing that the majority of finasteride side-effects were rare. And the more recent Japanese study concluded that only %0.7 suffered from side-effects. That sounded to me like a fairy tale. Mainly because I had already read the updated manual in september 2011 aproximately, regarding side-effects, Merk added: permanent sexual disfunction and mamal cancer. I kept reading in other respectable sources how propecia aumented the probability of Gleason score 8-10 prostate cancer . This worried me but as long as my nervous system did not complain I would continue with the treatment. It was until I reduced the [/url]dosage to 0.25mg every day, and had a 2 week rest from work out, that I started feeling some spikes in my head. At first I thought it was Minoxidil, but as I stopped it and continued Finasteride, I concluded that Finasteride was the cause. I later reduced the dosage to 0.25mg every other day, but still felt a very subtle chronic head ache. Took the 0.25mg dosage every three days, but the spikes and subtle pain persisted. It was up until mid January of 2012 that I decided it was too much: Amidst my daily squats, at about 40, when my heart starts pumping harder and more frequent I felt an alarming pain at the back of my head, between the spinal cord and the encephalon. This is when I decided Finasteride was too much of a risk. It happened 3 times, after the third time I just stopped Finasteride and now I can keep my workout regime. Sexual side effects, and even prostate and breast cancer at that point seemed unimportant compared to the neurological implications lacking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone. up until one week ago, I was on a moderate treatment. Now I quit.

See djb, this is a perfect example of a man in denial. Rambling in disgust towards a very reasonable man that created the article, boasting how he is the fortunate one not suffering from serious side-effects(although any sane person would consider infertility a serious problem if predisposed for having offspring), and worst of all, misinforming just like those corrupt Merk studies on side-effects. I mean when you have BREAST CANCER as a possible side-effect in the manual for Propecia, you have to ask yourself, who in his sane mind would go through such a treatment.

Are you serious? Do have any clue of the consequences? If you have no side-effects at all, then by all means keep at it, but to say that you don't care that is messes your hormones, is suicidal to say the least.

Read this article to understand why many people keep denying the finasteride side-effects.

You show Male Pattern Baldness, which is the same as alopecia. I agree with the Doctors in regards to your beard: it isn't there, nothing strange at least. The pictures you took show a healthy beard(unless you are referring to acne, which is a completely different phenomenon). Cheers.

How often?

Congratulations. You are so fortunate to not need medication.

Aloe Vera.

0.25mg. And if there are no side-effects, you can augment the dosage. Consult your Doctor.

This is a reality. As some have suggested, it is just a matter of testing on humans, approving, and streamlining the methods of harvesting in different hair restoration clinics around the world.

Thanks Dr. Devroye, I will be consulting you in Madrid when you come this month!

Because Proscar is taken for Benigh Prostate Hyperplesia, an illness that affects sexuality anyway.

What's even stranger, is that those that seem surprised and frown upon one's preoccupation of hair loss, most assuredly would lament even further had they suffered hair loss themselves!

A can attest that. I worked in an international technical support department.

Finasteride is a full blown hormonal treatment. Hormones play a huge roll in humour and emotional settings, not to mention in sexuality.

What's so wrong about going to the Doctor? Perhaps you don't want your family to find out...

Yeah, going bald while young is traumatic. But, remember, a chick that is more interested in the looks than in the person is very probably not worth one's time. Also, having a healthy lifestyle: eating varied food(following the nutritional pyramid), physically exercising every day or at least every other day, and taking the sun, will maintain a healthy appearance and mind state. If you are side-effects free, finasteride and minoxidil can help stop your hair-loss, and today's hair transplants are incomparable to the 1980/90's ineffective transplants, if you visit the correct surgeon, that is. So hope is not lost. And all those bi*·hes that reject you because of your baldness can go stick a pile of Vaselined hairline up their ↓ss!

Cardboard cutter. Definitely 0.25 is better for starting, if no side-effects show, you can augment the dosage. Don't do it unless you have done a general endocrine examination before and are being supervised by a doctor.

I don't see the relationship between hairloss and death. Hairloss and the shallowness of society on the other side...

Beware though, high levels of vitamin D can be dangerous and even fatal. Fish oil generally contains sufficient quantities of vitamin D.

People without side-effects tend not to complain on the internet, therfore an accurate or at least estimated ratio of unaffected vs. affected finasteride side-effects incurring patients is difficult if not impossible.

That's more a cultural phenomenon than anything else. In some place people make fun of homosexuals or even down syndrome sufferers.

Ehm, that's actually very luck of you. Perhaps the baldness isn't going beyond the Norwood/Hamilton 4 scale! Regardless, you should consult online with Dr. Devroye(in Brussels Belgium), or any other of the recommended Doctors in this site, before taking action. Perhaps you are not even suffering from Male Pattern Baldness.
