- bitL 4y agoPregnenolone and DIM supplementation might help there. Though post-finasteride syndrome is likely a complex beast and very individualized.

- asdff 4y agoI'm really curious what the long term effects of finasteride use will be or if there are side effects from withdrawl. So many people I know use it and this is the first I've read of this side effect, so it must be relatively understudied. I guess the silver lining with so many people testing out a drug like this is that it makes it easier to look at more rare side effects with a larger sample size. Sometimes I think if there's an actual perfectly safe cure for baldness out there, you'd at least see rich people like the British Royal Family or LeBron James using it.
