Here is what you really need to look at- there is a LOT of researchable info for what positives increasing your DHT accomplishes. If you know those things, it's pretty easy to surmise what reducing it would do.

Here is another thing to consider- Spironolactone is an anti-androgen drug just like Fin, except more effective. It's actually used for male to female sex change therapy.

Just not worth it man.
My mate is taking it and he says he's libido is fine. His tesosterone is actually at it's max naturally. He taking it for a years and for a week he felt negs then they went away.
Wouldn't you say the gamble and risk is worth it

Hard to get into too much of this because of forum rules, but it's insanity to think there won't be consequence to eliminating DHT.

Jumped on fin about 3 months ago and the first month or so my libido actually skyrocketed. Felt like I had to get off a couple times a day. I felt stronger than ever in the gym and had tonnes of energy during workouts (completely srs). It's levelled back out now to normal and haven't noticed any other side effects.

As for my hair, I was only ever so slightly receding, but wanted to do something about it before it got any worse. At the moment it's definitely starting to look more "fuller" than before. Looking forward to seeing where it's at in another 6+ months.

Just because you can still get it up and look like you life doesn't mean everything is fine, unless you like increasing your estrogen levels and reducing the functions of male hormones in your body.
This. some of you guys really need to think is it worth destroying your body for more hair?

I feel like most of the fear mongerers just don't want baldies to gain here so there isn't as much competition. They are threatened by it.

Why are so many people here saying it made them hornier and had no sides

I can speak from what i experienced. I took dutasteride because i thought the test increase would reduce the risks of sides. Anyways, about a month in i started to have this odd feeling.. i would look at womens bodys and think to myself? why is this attractive? it looked like i was looking at an aliens body.. no appeal. 2 months later (sides still persisting), im looking at my computer monitor and my eyes cant focus on the screen. that night i have an extreme crash/anxiety attack. I became dissociated, emotionally blunted, had insomnia, photophobia, sleep paralysis, libido problems, terrible memory, brain fog, derealization, blank mind, tinnitus, and a bunch of other sides. Not only was my libido destroyed but my brain was too, cognition was destroyed.. dht or 5ar or whatever is responsible (a metabolite?) for production of some neurosteroids that caused my mental sides. that **** was hell and if i can save one soul from that then my job here is successful

FWIW I've been on fin for three months at this point (0.5mg a day) and noticed zero symptoms...

My personal take is.. you never hear about the people who use it and go on with their lives like normal. You only hear the horror stories, because they are the ones who need to broadcast their experience far and wide. For the rest of us its business as usual.

i would look at my own mother and wondered why this person had any importance in my life. there was no emotional connection. Coming from that experience i realized how important emotions are to life. Everything was numb, i didnt care for anything, my gym drive was gone, didnt go to school for 2 years because of it

Then based on your zipcode you get coupons to local pharmacies. My insurance didn't cover fin, but with GoodRx I got a six month supply for like $45 bucks.

i dont think so. after the crash i also noticed i didnt have body odor, acne, or oily skin anymore. I feel like those physiological responses to the drug are enouhh proof to show that it messes with something forsure. many people report the no acne, body odor, oily skin thing too. and when i recovered (4 years) that all came back. the alien thing was really disturbing and i noticed i would go in and out of that perspective from time to time

When I hopped on Fin I had watery semen for a month or so, and after that it was back to normal. Erections are pretty much the same, no noticeable difference in libido. Think the mindset you have going into it matters. Placebo and ****.

fact- finasteride is FDA approved. If it isn't safe, the FDA wouldn't allow it on the market for daily use.
