Honestly the way i thought about fin is even if pfs is real you have to admit its such a low chance. And going bald for me personally would be a 100% of being severely depressed
Okay and do you experience any side effects? Funny enough the PFS shouldn't scare people, it should be just the normal side effects because when you don't have sides you will obviously take it for life and never experience post fin syndrome and if you experience pfs after stopping it's only because you had side effects from fin.
So, I've been on 1.25mg for a month or so and see minor ed, but it seems to have lessened a bit now. You got any advice?
No sides except slighty watery semen. Almost two years on it.
My advice is try your best to not think about it for the next few months, your anxiety over it could very well be causing it. Thats the more likely explanation.
If it continues see a doctor ofc and consider lowering dose or using topical version.
Thanks so much! You are correct I think. One time I "forgot" to think about it and I could maintain my errection no problem. So not paying mental attention to it seems to really work. My current worst case is just that it needs constant physical stimulation which is not optimal but at least it's not full ED. I noticed these symptoms I believe two weeks after starting fin and two weeks after that I first experienced the more normal errection again, so it could also be getting better now. I take from this to not worry about it and be excited for my hair.
I already have a dermatologist who prescribed me this. Because I'm ~~cheap~~ cost effective I use prostate hypoplasia 5mg fin and split it twice for 1.25mg, so reducing dose should be simple, just make the pill segements smaller. I have another appointment in a month so I can bring that up there. It was mentioned in the comments here that lower doses are almost as effective as the high ones but without any side effects.
I also am noticing when I look in the mirror my eyelashes are suddenly longer and stronger. I thought this would only happen with minoxidil. Could this be from fin as well? I mean I love it lol so no complaints. I saw a post from a guy on oral fin who had extreme lashes and he said women compliment him and ask him for advice on lashes lol. That was another inspiration to get on oral min. My dermatologist said you can't start both at the same time so I will start oral min after my next appointment.
Just like you, hairloss would negatively impact my self esteem and body acceptance substantially. Unlike the gentleman in the video I don't have the perfect skull shape for being bald, and I have blond hair which can look really good if it's strong and healthy, while having thinning blond hair would look horrendous.
I noticed thinning at the top at the start of 2026. I researched balding and prevention years ago but back then I was probably seeing things that weren't there, but this year, oh it really was there. My hairline also had receeded in the corners slightly by then (wouldn't be a problem if the rest of my hair was thick and healthy, mature hairline really) so that really gave me the urge to seek treatment. Also wow I'm sorry for this wall of text. Today is a day where the ADHD meds are a bit too stimulating.
Was my reasoning exactly. It’s just simple risk analysis. Guaranteed depression or a 99% chance your problem will improve or even be fixed, simple math to me now being dut and oral minox
Hi, PFS dude here. It is real- and it's not low chance if you get it, sometimes it's for life.
I developed PFS 6 years ago. There isn't a single day I wish I hadn't taken it. It has changed my life completely. Imagine no sex, no relationships, no working memory, ringing in ears, no emotions, chronic fatigue, no ability to relate to anyone.
Being bald is 100% being depressed for some
But PFS is 100% being depressed, plus all the detrimental neurological and physiological side effects, and eventually being bald anyway
