Propecia is poison indeed.
When I first started losing my hair, I asked my doctor if it could be because of poor diet, lack of exercise or something of the like. He took one look at my scalp and told me I had male pattern baldness. He then, in a very nonchalant manner, wrote a prescription for propecia and told me I could use rogaine at the same time. After weeks of deliberating, I gave the propecia a shot. Within days I lost my sex drive, couldn't reach any kind of sexual climax, and generally felt not myself. I stopped taking it immediately. The effects persisted for two weeks. If you go to propeciasideeffects.com and look at the forums you will find stories of guys who have had permanent damage done. Many of them have been spending years of their life trying to find an answer or a solution. It is amazing to me that my doctor could so calmly recommend this medication. But then again, there is a lot of ugliness that goes on regarding health care and the pharmaceutical industry. I just feel lucky that I found a different approach to dealing with my hair loss and I didn't have lasting side effects. Others have not been as lucky...
