    Just wondering why you came off Finasteride was it due to the side effects. Did it help you with your hair loss ? My client does hair transplants and he actually recommended this to me. None of his hundred of clients has had any adverse side effects from Finasteride. Were you on the lowest dose ?

    Well for months I kept the gains for whatever reason. After 10 months I can see my old hairline again. But honestly I'm fine with it since it probably mean that I'm healing.
    I didn't have tinnitus before the drug gave me ETD, but I know people that had tinnitus before taking fin and it t made it worse

    Now stay away from it ffs lol. I'm not kidding few people will warn you off

    Yeah you are right. I can see three potential issues with side effects. Initial phase of Finasteride then tapering off plus the long term psychological effects. Oh well just have to get used to going bald sometime in future which will hurt.

    Many thanks for the detailed response. Yes while it is tempting - it probably not worth it. Anyway, at my age probably nothing to gain from it apart from vanity and health is more important than anything. I think I will just have to say goodbye to my hair. I have very loud tinnitus and Hyperacusis so even for that reason its probably not worth the risk for this reason alone

    I would say that you there is a low probability of getting such sides but I still wouldn't take the risks. I thought that it would never happened to me and it did !
    And the fact that you have H and T is another weight in the balance.

    Hi

    Sorry to hear about the problems you have been having.

    I was thinking of taking Finasteride. What issues have you had ?

    Hi!
    I have (had) full blown Post Finasteride Syndrome since 10 months. Basically debilitating physical, neurological, gastroinstestinal and sexual sides; massive anxiety and an endless list of symptoms including ETD. It was a living nightmare basically.

    However I'm 80% recovered and I think it can be reversed, but I also know people that had struggle with it since many years.
    Honestly, don't take it. I had some people telling me to not take it, and I didn't listened.

    If you have tinnitus this is a big NO. You are at a greater risk of worsening it since it has been shown that the drug can modulate the gaba system and cause or worsen tinnitus. I know PFS guys that developed and kept tinnitus even after they recovered from PFS.
    Now it's your call but at least you know what is at play
