your right, guess im pretty lucky to never have taken Finasteride. It just sucks so damn much but then again i dont want other problems associated with hairloss like sexual function or physical functionā¦

Yeah man. Donāt even second guess the decision. Throw the pills away, if thereās anything with saw palmetto or any kind of ketoconzale, androgen altering bullshit, throw it in the trash. Itās a no brainer. Just make a deal with yourself thatās itās a no-brainer and thereās no debate or discussion here. Weāre not taking the Finasteride because youāre basically spinning a Price-Is-Right wheel with your health and your future, over some hair. And itās very debatable whether Finasteride is truly that effective at preventing further hair loss.
Why risk it? See a therapist to deal with your insecurities, OCD issues, and neurotic behavioral traits that you must identify and treat. Thatās the route I wish I would have taken.

Without having the condition and being in the whirlwind of shit yourself, I can personally promise you that there is no way of even putting a label inside your brain of what the risks are. You have no clue what youāre consenting to, and there lies the problem.
I feel so weirded out telling people my personal issues for example hair, i feel theyāll think im crazy or something. But ā¦i dont want to be like this forever. I HATE this feeling! Merck lied about the safety of finasteride. I was always pro-fin, but now thereās no pure coincidence cuz so many people describe a crash and if so many people get itā¦it cant be a coincidence. Thanks, ill try so hard to avoid all of this and get help.
iām just gonna do what i wish someone did for me when i was 18 and took this drug. Donāt. Please donāt.
There is not a single thing I truly regret in my life besides taking this drug, and I only took it for 13 or 14 days. Iām 20 now and there are still many days where regret weighs on me heavily, including today. It was a horrible decision I made and I canāt even imagine how much better my life wouldāve been if I hadnāt fucked up.

Just throw the bag

Itās my new school bag tho my parents would question it ahha
Yo guys IM FREAKING OUT IS FINASTERIDE IN MY SYSTEM???
I just remembered I split the pills using pill cutters and I remember cleaning the powder with my hands (although I washed my hands after thank God) but I researched and said it can be absorbed through your skin ā¦please tell me itās not in my system
Dont take Fin. This is the best thing you can do in your life, go out and seek natural remedies for your mental problems. Dont use any kind of drug for them. And no, its not in your system, thats bizarre.

Thank god thank you for your response. And yeah but what can I do about my hairloss? Can Minoxidil and microneedling save me time ? And is liquid better or foam? Iām mainly worried about my frontal hair my crown is solid and my sides are decent, temples receded though
Minoxidil is the same, a lot of peoppe crashed with it. Its poison. I would wait and make a hair transplant in future or something. Or just shave your head and be happy with yourself. I took Accutane for my acne and now suffering. I would choose to live with full acne until i die in old age to this situation we are in.
Can I ask you, do you actually look bad without hair? Because itās definitely an androgenic feature and youāre basically fighting against your own virility by trying to prevent it.
Honestly justā¦ work on literally every other aspect of your life and if your hair (or lack of it) still bothers you, then consider hairloss treatments. Iām sure by that point weāll have better ways to treat it than we currently do.
Bro. I can tell you that highly anxious/OCD/creative/hypersexual people seem to be the ones more prone to PFS. I can tell you now you are the perfect candidate to get this disease. Dont ruin your life, you havenāt seen hell yet bro, and let me tell you, you donāt want to. DONāT DO IT. Do everything but this. Also donāt use saw palmetto, or any other anti androgen bullshit.

I agree about the bald comment.
Itās a big disaster to self esteem for most.
@CuteCandyCane id wait for safer hair restoration options. without a doubt. not syaing hair isnt important, but you dont want this hell to get worse at that cost. Thereās a stem cell therapy option currently thatās been getting good results.
Itās not permanent but the regrowth has been good. id check it out.
I haveānt lost much hair but i may try it in the future once everything is done here.
Iāve been on and off minoxidil and nothing happened plus itās over the counter I donāt really believe minox causes PFS
My hair looks so bad and thin but I can hide itā¦
Also yeah Ik im probsbly suspectaboe to PFS Based off my OCD but like fuck. Every time after a shower and I see my hair all I want to do is just die
Hi @CuteCandyCane,
While you may have some mental illness to contend with, and it might be what you imagine PFS to be, you do not have any side effects, let alone āall the side effectsā. You are not a patient suffering persistent symptoms that onset during or following use of finasteride. Others have cautioned you as well as anyone can.
You clearly have read some of the forum, but PFS is so broadly variable in severity that even most PFS patients have little familiarity with the severe end of the syndrome and what it can entail. After the single dose that initiated my crash I was left cognitively incapacitated to the point I could not look out a window or navigate a shop for many months. My genitals progressively and permanently eroded over the first months. I have been in constant agony which I cannot safely remediate for years. I have no sexual function and my health is destroyed. I cannot sleep, feel positive feelings or comfort. I am in a constant state of severe unease and my autonomic systems are always screwing up. I spend every day suffering and forcing myself to work for the benefit of others solely because it is the right thing to do. I add this to the comments of others because, while the odds are you would not experience anything like this even if you developed a degree of PFS, if you are very unlucky you wont have the luxury of worrying about āpleasing girlsā. For some of us this drug is the end of that possibility and all other possibility with it. Other severely affected patients are memorialised on our main website.
You now have the option of consenting to a risk you can take on board although it is impossible to imagine. If you are wanting to dissuade yourself from the risk of this drug, then that is a personal battle and I can only suggest the assistance of a psychologist or mental health professional. You additionally could consider talking to your doctor about a hair transplant.
As this is not a website for anyone who wants to join and categorically not a website for hair loss concerns, Iāve suspended your account and will wish you the best in your future.
