I’ve personally experienced it. There’s so much data out there it now comes with a warning label.
- timr 1y agoThere's an FDA-mandated warning label for every drug. The current label for Finasteride [1] includes depression only as a "postmarketing experience", which is based on the same data you're reading here (self reports), and is not reliable for determining causality. [2] There is no current listing for suicide, suicidal ideation, etc. [1] https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2012/020788s020s021s023lbl.pdf https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2012/02... [2] "Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure"
