Wow, I'm surprised that the drug has so many reported side effects. I'm taking it and it's almost like a "nothing" pill. Seems like no side effects, and eventually more hair hopefully.

I guess like most drugs, you never hear from the 90% of people who have no negative side effects, the only problem with Finasteride is a lot of the effects don't seem go away when you stop taking it, should you be in the unlucky 10%.

I tried it for a while but I didn't see any benefits. I thought it might help with a very slight widows peak but it didn't have any effect.

I have been using this for about a year and have had no side effects.

I've been using it for about four months and I have noticed hair regrowth. I have also got hypothyroidism that can cause hairloss whch I am being treated for so the regrowth could be connected to that, but I have noticed no negative sde effects of finasteride.
