| 1 | male pattern hair loss | Complete loss of libido, severe insomnia, impotence, anxiety problems, cognitive issues, suicidal. | STAY AWAY FROM THIS POISIN IT RUINED MY LIFE. DO NOT LISTEN TO THOSE WHO CLAIM IT IS A SAFE DRUG. UNFORTUNATELY I DID. MY SIDE EFFECTS STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS IN AND HAVE PROGRESSED DESPITE STOPPING. I NOW HAVE TO FIGHT THE URGE TO KILL MYSELF EVERY DAY. | M | 40 | 6 years 1mg 1X day | 5/4/2013 | 1 | alopecia | during use of the drug lost my libido, and could not hold an erection for more than a few seconds, when i stopped things got serious, prostate got hammered, testicles started aching and dissapearing, penis shrunk and i had two years of endless fatigue. been hospitalized all over the world for months to find out the cause. spend 150.000 $ on treatments and tests and still no cure. Suing Merck for millions, this poison has devastated my body since 22 years old. Now im 30 and still can't have sex | 30 | 65 days 1mg 1X day | 5/4/2013 | 1 | Hair loss | Soft or no erections, depression, anxiety, brain fog SUICIDAL THOUGHTS. | POISON. I HATE MYSELF FOR TRYING THIS DRUG. COST ME MY RELATIONSHIP | M | 32 | 2 years 1mg 1X day | 4/29/2013 | 2 | Hair Loss | During the first couple of weeks I experience some weird visual sexual dreams. No other side affects observed over 3 years. | I started using Propecia in 1998 for hair loss. At the time I stopped using Rogaine and had switched to Propecia. I went from thinning hair to nearly completely bald in the three years. Propecia did little to stop my thinning hair. During that time I father my son who is now 11. Bright kid who is now entering puberty. I would be interested to hear from other fathers who children (during Propecia use) are entering or have gone the puberty. | M | 43 | 3 years 1 mg 1X day | 4/25/2013 | 1 | Hair loss | Brain fog, impotence, ED, the works. | This **** is POISON. I stopped 5-6 months ago and I'm still suffering zero libido, ED, brain fog, accelerated hair loss, etc. I never would have touched this poison had I known this was possible. Hair isn't worth destroying the rest of your life. I can only pray I recover over time. May everyone at Merck burn in hell forever. | M | 26 | 3 months 1mg 1X day | 3/14/2013 | 3 | hair loss | Nothing at all...but recently I am noticed that my penis somehow got slightly smaller-perhaps I m getting obsessed,,dnt know if it is related to the medication...loosing hair is devastating | started using it and after a year saw a slight improvement,,,the improvement stoped until after 3 yrs decided to use minidoxil and saw more improvement... | M | 30 | 4 years 1mg 1X day | 2/8/2013 | 4 | MPB | Mild ED the first month, has since resolved. | Do not pay any attention to all the negative comments posted here. There is an ongoing lawsuit against the company who makes this and now everyone is trying to jump on the gravy train and collect. This drug works miracles and I still have *most* of my hair. I have no doubt that there is a rare side effect of sexual dysfunction, but the majority of these patients who have so-called sexual dysfunction after stopping the drug are just imagining things or trying to collect a paycheck. It's in their head. There is no scientific data that shows this drug has any mechanism to cause permanent sexual dysfunction. Therefore I will keep using it. I suggest you talk to your physician regarding this instead of listening to some money grubbers and/or mass hysteria on the internet. | M | 35 | 3 years 1 1X day | 1/28/2013 | 5 | Hair loss | My father was bald (male pattern) so as both of my grand fathers I was heading same direction. At the age of 21 I could actually see my scull on the top of my head. I started to take propecia roughly when I was 25-27 (can't really remember now) and still taking it every day. I had no side effects whatsoever. I have two children 2 and 4 years old both healthy and beautiful. Never had any issues with sex. My hair is a little thinner on the top than on the sides but you can only see it when it's wet otherwise it's as good as when I was 16. | M | 40 | 10 years 1 a day | 1/27/2013 | 1 | Hairloss | BE VERY CAREFUL PEOPLE. NO SIDE EFFECTS AT FIRST AND THEN BAM!!!!! I took Propecia for 3 years with amazing results. I was shocked at all the negative reviews. I had zero side effects. They suddenly - it hit me like a brick. Inability to get an erection (only 30 years old), loss of sex drive, inability to stay erect, etc. Went to the doctor and all tests were normal. He suggested I go off propecia to see if it was related. I stopped and two days later I was 100% back to normal. Never again will I take this poison. I was lucky, my erections and drive came back --- many are not this lucky. Hair is not worth losing your sex life people. Stick with rogaine or laser combs. | Stay far away from this stuff. More and more info is suggesting big problems with this stuff. It simply is not worth it. | 3 years .25 1X day | 1/23/2013 | 4 | Balding | Some drop in semen quantity, less morning erections, somewhat dryer skin | I find it hilarious that people are surprised when some side effect happens after putting a drug in their system.Any intelligent person considering propecia will realize that it is going to effect your body in some way or another. You have to way the good with the bad and find the optimum dose for you. Even then it might not work. In my case I have found a good balance at .25mg where the sides are virtually none existent. My hairloss is stable and I have actually seen some regrowth. I should add that the regrowth did not come until I added rogaine, which same with propecia I had to find the right dose i could tolerate which ended up being once a day. My hairloss history: Started losing at 17, norwood 3 by 24 and still in denial. Then suddenly the crown started going and that's when I took action. Plan too continue this drug until it my hair loss picks up or any side effects become noticeable. Know I will be bald one day soon, but I have found I am caring less and less about this as I get older. Best of luck in whatever descion you choose. | M | 27 | 3 years .25mg 1X day | 1/9/2013 | 1 | Hair Loss | Well the drug works and does slow/stop hairloss. For me, I had no side effects for 1 year (I am 32). During the second year my erections started to not get as stiff. Then the libedo slowed. Then I would get full on impotence once or twice a week. It scared the heck out of me so I tried stopping. Everything returned to normal within 5 days of stopping. I am me again and my erections are back and then some. | This drug is poison and the effects are not yet understood by doctors. It caused impotence in me - someone who is a horny lover of sex. Thankfully I am back and the effects were only temporary. Be very careful with this drug. Take rogaine | M | 32 | 2 years .25 1X day | 1/5/2013 | 1 | Hair Loss | started to take finasteride in September by November could see my fine hairs looking thicker. In the middle of November my face skin seemed to start ageing quickly. I am 42 and look around 38, week by week I could see a change in my face and by the middle of December my friends said I looked 42 to 44. On the 17 December my eyes were blood shot and the whites of my eyes went slightly yellow. I through the pills in the bin. But now, and I know it is only two weeks there is a slight improvement in my skin but it is tight itches and and nothing will stop it. I am putting on diprobase 4 to 6 times a day but my skin is getting tighter and tighter. What a mess! | never again! I look in the mirror and I can't believe what I have done, it is not worth it. | M | 42 | 4 months 2.5mg 3X W | 1/4/2013 | 1 | Baldness | Major drop in libido. Took much longer to get aroused, erections were more flaccid. Insomnia. This was within 12 hours of my first dose. And this was just after one day! I'm throwing these things out, it's not worth it at all. I'm pretty tolerant to most drugs, so I was shocked by how strong the effect was on me. I read about some of the possible side effects before I took it, so I knew it was a gamble. I hope it wears off. | Merck has another Vioxx on their hands. Again, its a gamble. My doctor said none of her patients had a problem with it after years of use, but I saw symptoms within 24 hrs. It seems like the problems are way underreported. | M | 34 | 1 days 1 mg 1X day | 12/17/2012 | 1 | hairloss | dry eyes, brain fog, fatigue | I have been taking finasterid (proscar) for about 6 years. All of a sudden I realized brain fog, dry eyes. I have been extremly tired each evening. I have been to hospital for a week but without any result. I got really scared. I stopped taking finasterid and symptoms decreased and disappered after one and a half month. The only thing is, I still have dry eyes. After stopping finasterid I realized an increased sex drive, level of semen in an ejacultion seems to be increased. | M | 36 | 6 years 1mg 1X day | 11/20/2012 | 2 | Hair loss | Lost of libido and erectile dysfunction | Been taking propecia for 28 days and I already have side effects this is not worth it ... I rather be using romaine or something of the sorts! Seriusly it's not worth the risk! If I go bald I'll just shave it off and grow a goatee XD | M | 22 | 1 months 1 mg 1X day | 11/15/2012 | 1 | Mpb | Imidiate loss of libido . Shrinkage of penis . I can still get erections but it like penis.is disconected from brain. I hope I will recover | M | 32 | 2 weeks 1 mg | 10/29/2012 | 1 | hair loss | My brain stopped working My penis stopped working 4 years later and I still feel like an asexual zombie. | M | 25 | 2 months 1mg 1X day | 10/9/2012 | 1 | Hair Loss | There is a law suit in place for Propecia - I would recommend using Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. - Do your research! DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! | This is the spouse of a past Propecia user - This drug has wrecked our life! Trust me going bald is a hell of a lot better than having a limp dick and mood swings not to mention mention memory loss! Embrace your baldness and hold on to your MAN HOOD! | F | 43 | 6 years 1X day | 7/8/2012 | 1 | hair loss | All sexual side effects, not worth it don't take it, ruins your life | M | 24 | 3 months 1.25 | 7/3/2012 | 1 | hair loss | This drug has runied my life and almost a 22 yr old marriage! It has caused severe memory loss and seizures for my once very healthy husband. Not to mention overall erectile issues. Do not take this toxic life alerting drug! Its toxic and will make you a monster. | M | 53 | 6 years | 6/25/2012 |
