Finasteride was Originally researched as a Psych Drug!

Wasn’t sure exactly where/how to post this. I could not find an actually link to the paper, but I was creeping around on the hair loss site to see if they had any new news on Fin side effects (most of them act like it doesn’t exist) and came across this thread.

But there is 1 really smart member there named Science who has tons of studies about 5 Alpha Reductase studies and solid info. The article is within the thread in the link, but it makes several points that there are 5AR receptor sites in the brain. All of the articles are not just in the first post, farther down the page he provides many other studies/articles. A VERY good read.

Not sure if this has been reported on this site before, but it seemed very interested and could be used in the research. Also to other members, that guy “Science” on that forum is a genius when it comes to 5AR it seems. I personally private messaged him to come join this site and share his knowledge, not too sure if he accepted the invitation.

Most of his posted studies are rat based. Rats are very much different to humans due to 5ar2 location and finasteride strongly inhibits 5ar1 and 2.

Well, if he is such a genius, he should know if there is an effective way of raising it?
