I have been taking it since i was 18. I am now 29. The only effects i have had is that im not bald.

I’m fascinated by the fact that these 2 men both don’t have hairloss and made it their job. I remember 2 years ago when i had a full head of hair that i didn’t even notice it on other people if they were losing their hair at all. Never even thought about it.

The world is STARVING for high-quality, informative, fact driven and, quite frankly, entertaining content like this. Its is such a relief to hear two experts such as yourselves illuminate the topic. THANK YOU!!

(I'll be copying and pasting this comment onto all the videos I watch of yours because it's nothing short of the truth)

On finasteride six years since age 21. Time is off the essence to act. Best decision of my 20s without a doubt. Great video

This is a message to everyone who is considering taking finasteride, but is afraid of the side effects:
People drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and take drugs but in the end the reason for their side effects is finasteride of course.
(don't get me wrong, I am not innocent)
Our mind is our strongest muscle in the body: If you think you can achieve something in life, you will get it (Law of Attraction), if you think you will get sick, you will get sick. If you think you are using a medication that helps you with your pain, you will feel relief (placebo)
Just talk to your doctor, try finasteride out and see what happens.
People here in the comments often talk about their horror experiences, but you never know what their motivation was for writing them (Game-Theory). The reason for their decrease in sex drive could have been anything, maybe they just aged and coincidentally at the same point in time they tried finasteride. Come on. In the US approx. every second person plays lotto at least once in a year and hopes to win the jackpot, with a probability of 1: >100.000.000 but they are all scared to take finasteride because they are scared to be 1 of the 100.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart...

I STARTED TAKING FINASTERIDE because of your TRUTHFUL content.
6 weeks IN no sides, slight shedding which means it's working.

After noticing that it's not even CLOSE to being dangerous, three of my friends are now on it after talking to their physicians!

Im so happy I came across this channel. I'm 30 yrs old. I started using Minoxidil in January this year, and then after watching this video started Finasteride in March, following the 3 times a week process. Needless to say for me, the results have been absolutely amazing! I was expecting it not to get worse and stay the same, however, after 6 months I've actually gained so much hair already! It's given me so much confidence! I made a video about my experience so far and can't wait to see what my hair is like in a years time!

[BestAudiovisualTricks]

Best, more complete and honest explanation of Finasteride in the world. Thank you doctors!!

[amananwar]

These doctors are really great ....am glat that i found them

[josipvran]

I started taking finasteride about 3 months ago and i'm still microdosing it. Now i'm shedding and i know it's a normal part of the process but still it puts doubts in my mind about the effectivenes of the drug...

Everytime i get doubtful i watch some of your videos again and they really help to get me reassured.

I want to thank both of you for this information that you're putting out for free because without you i still wouldn't be on finasteride :)

I started losing hair around 21, and starting taking finasteride at around 22. I noticed reduction of hair loss after a month or two, and even some mild regrowth. At some point, I came off of it for about 6 months and I noticed a lot of shedding during that time. I came back on it and the improvements also returned. No side effects whatsoever. I'm willing to stay on it for life if it means I can even maintain the amount of hair I have right now.

This video is really helpful and a true credit to the dedication and commitment you both have for preventing hair loss in men. I’ve decided to try Finasteride after previously being put off, however I was concerned to read that it has caused Gynecomastia in a minority of men. I already suffer with this (mild) and wondered if either of you have seen this side effect in your patients?

[gustavodonato]

Certainly the best propecia content I have ever watched on YouTube . Thanks for the great information

[OcelotDAD]
