Title: This is scary.
Post by: RyanJP on April 13, 2010, 07:11:49 PM

This vid say's it all in regards to all those nasty DHT blockers, and to think that people put this crap in there body. There is absolutely nothing good about anything like finasteride or propecia.

I took it for two days and it made me feel like somebody had kicked me in the balls.  Never again.

Side note: my cousin's husband takes finasteride (she told me), and they're trying to have a baby.  Merck says there's no danger of birth defects if the woman doesn't come in contact with the pill, but they also say that some of it passes out of the body unmetabolised, and I think we all know that drug companies aren't to be trusted blindly.  Do you think I should say something to them?

this is definitely some scary sh!t. Makes me regret taking it - fortunately its all in working order down there. *fingers crossed*

I have just sent this page to all my mates that I know are on propecia, Hopefully the rest of the site will convince them to go off propecia and shave *fingers crossed again*

hairtoday i think you should definitely tell your cousin and her husband, particularly since they are trying!

Just goes to show how reliant people have become on drigs to 'fix' their body. Seems to me all along most drugs are full of crap anyways. Yeah, I wanna put all that crap in my body, yeppers. LoL NOT.

I think I'll stick with trying to live well, and let nature take its course.

took it for a year or so with no side effects. but it was such a hassle to renew prescriptions and order the medication here in europe, plus it made me obsess way more about my hair -- so i quit.

That's what I always suspected, that taking drugs makes you suffer even more - and longer.
