Across 144 first-hand reports, people mentioned a side effect 44 times (about 31 per 100 reports). The most common: erectile dysfunction, brain fog, sexual dysfunction. User reports show what people notice — they can't tell you whether Finasteride is safe for you.
“I am on fin, min, and I dermaroll. Seen pretty good results with this combo. Shed for maybe 3 months or so and then stabilized.”
“It did wonders for my hairline and I’m probably never gonna stop taking it but I feel asexual and dead inside.”
“I tried the finasteride pill, would not recommend it due to side effects.”
“Probably the finasteride, that shit made me feel like I was hungover 24/7.”
“I generally didn’t see any major side effects with finastride except for way less sensitivity and way worse orgasms.”
“I know many are aware Finasteride reduces DHT and thus can create sexual dysfunction. However, it is also capable of disrupting ALLO, and some researchers believe this is why Finasteride can induce anxiety and depressive behavior.”
Conclusion: As studies into dutasteride were limited, further trials are required. It is important that physicians are aware of, and assess, the possibility of sexual dysfunction in patients treated with 5α-reductase inhibitors.
