administration of finasteride decreases social interaction and results in cognitive deficits, potentially through a cholinergic mechanism. Further studies are required to understand the exact link between the cognitive effects and the cholinergic system.Side effects may be irreversible and include persistent erectile dysfunction, depression, suicidal tendencies, loss of libido, anxiety, and other neurological issues (ie. memory loss, altered mental status). The dtufies dont lie snd rheyre continuing woth 186 brain DNA genes have been altered. All for hair ! I took finasteride before these studies were shown or id have never taken iy. Hopefully some young guys who are considering taking finasteride see this and think 1,000,000 about it and then dknt go for it. Best to everyone

This is very informative video. Everything described very clearly one by one. I really appreciated it. I would recommended to all of my friends to watch this video. Thank you for sharing this video.

Very informative video on hair transplant and well explained also.i really like your videos as you give all the required information.

Respect to you doctor for discussing this topic. It is a very tough balance sometimes getting the correct dose of finasteride without sides. I stopped cold turkey, and went through a bad period. Smart and well though out video as always.

It completely went over his head as he instead just prescribed me the topical version to replace the pill 😒. I had no choice but to quit cold Turkey and boy did I pay!!!

Hi Sir, I am taking Finasteride 1mg tab for 3 day without seeing any doctor. I am 20 and already lost much hair and becoming bald (probably grade 2 now). So I started taking Finasteride after researching online on my own. But now I came to know about PFS. I am terribly scared now. But I am also worried about hairloss. What should i do now?

Keep taking the drug if you want to keep your hair. And don't panic in the beginning, everyone experiences side effects in the 1st months. Keep taking the drug for at least 6 weeks before scaring yourself to discontinue.

Thank you for your videos! If I am understanding correctly, if I am currently taking 1mg per day, I should take .5mg per day for one month, and then maybe .5mg every other day for one month, and then maybe .25mg every other day for the 3rd month?

Does the same apply to dutasteride? With the drug having such a long active half-life i would think cold turkey wouldn't make a difference since going back to baseline is a slow process. I took what i think may have been a a very large single dose and i didn't like the sides as compared to fin at all so i didn't take anymore of the drug. It's been 2 months since i stopped and i still have sides. I'm hoping this is just simply because the dose i took was very big and it may take longer than expected to go back to normal.

​@@hairtransplantinindia yeah. I'm trying not to worry too much about it tho since i'm sure i'll be fine. I've been on finasteride on and off for a while with 0 issues. Sometimes cold turkey. I always recovered extremely fast tho this is just me. Definitely best to just have people stick to fin and cut back on dose and frequency to avoid sides, exorcise and stay healthy to produce natural to make up for the lost dht etc. I tried dutasteride topically semi-convinced only a small amount would actually penetrate the skin and hair papilla. But evidently it was a wrong assumption. The drug goes systemic and it was in a 0.3% concentration in a glycol solution which made the drug even more likely to penetrate. So most likely, i'll just have to wait as i'm sure my DHT is still largely suppressed. The studies iv'e seen seem to indicate there's a minimum of a 2-3 month wait for dht to return to baseline in doses over 0.5. I'll leave an update in about another month or 2.

That is a real side effect and most likely you are not a candidate. In another post you have reported a high estrogen level.

I left spirolactone and bicalutamide abruptly in the middle of the treatment while continuing dutasteride and oral minox and when I restarted them , hair fall is continuing since 3.5 months like 30,49,50, hairs per day! Have they stopped working? Has the efficacy of the medicines declined?.
