…a fucking PM from some idiot named Tedd. Apparently Propecia saved this dude because he was so depressed about his hair loss. Only if he knew there was MUCH more to worse stuff to be depressed about. Fuck me this pissed me off so bad.
Hi Matthew,
Tedd Smith sent you a private message on Change.org.
Reaction to propecia off-market petition
Hello Matthew,
I wanted to react to your post on change.org concerning “take propecia off the market”:
“How this drug is still prescribed is a total mystery. Apparently it is OK to completely ruin the lives of the minority in order for the majority to have more hair…”
Medications/drugs have risks and benefits. Taking or not a drug is acceptable or not according to the evaluation of the balance between those risks and benefits. This balance is not the same for everybody and it must be let to everyone to freedom to do its own choice for himself. For example, in my case, propecia saved me from deep a depression and probably from suicid. I couldn’t imagine to do without it, even if one day I would have side effects … it is my choice.
Each person must do its own choice according to what’s acceptable for himself.
This ability to take Propecia must be let to people who find it more acceptable to take (and assume) the risk than to go bald.
Those who don’t want to take this risk are free to refuse to take this drug.
Anyway, I sincirely hope that you will find a solution to your troubles (may they be a consequence of propecia or not)
Tedd
