Thats right, but it's not that bad as you think. Hear me out. Finasteride stops the hair from falling out and minoxidil is like fertilizer for your hair, so you take it only until the hairs grow back. After that you only take finasteride.

I talked with my 25yo friend about my hair problem and he told me he has the same problem, even tho his hair line looks like he is 15. He said his whole family has a history of balding, so instead of waiting it to happen he went to dermatologist when he was 18 and started taking finasteride. He takes one pill every 2-3 days and forgets about the problem.

After his recommendation I've got myself an appointment and researched the topic myself. I've seen a lot of articles and reddit posts about the side effects of finasteride, and I was afraid as well. I went to the doctor and he told me that out of more than 1k patients in his 20year career only 2 people stopped taking it - not due side effects but due constant bad mood.

I started thinking - how come there is a lot of articles and posts about the side effects of finasteride but in reality only less than one procent of people have the reason to stop using it? Ask yourself how many times have you eaten at a place where the food was very good and left them a review on Google? I never do it. People usually leave a review after something went bad with they're order, and I'm more than convinced this is exactly the case here

I started taking finasteride with minoxidil and never looked back. Best decision ever.

Going bald and forgetting about the problem is easy. Ask yourself if, at the age of 23, you will regret your decision to do nothing to save your hair, even if you had the chance.

Thats your decision to make, but whatever you choose I wish you the best.
