Propecia at young age

Postby forhair » Mon Aug 28, 2006 3:50 am

sentarli, Propecia is only approved for use in Men over the age of 18 and above so you are good to go :)
I know many other ways that you can kill your sex life without taking propecia LOL
But you must know that any propecia side effect can be reversable in 2-3 weeks after stop using it. Those who do experience side effects will also be happy to know that these side effects are very common at the beginning of treatment while your system is adjusting itself, and typically disappear after a couple months.
So you will know only if you try, this side effect can happen in about 5% of the patients. it is a small percent and the chances you will get this side effect are not big.

well, today I went to my family doctor, got propecia, he said that he has 5 patients on it, the youngest being 21 and that the longest user is 5 years and they have had no problems, only a initial libido drop which gets better after a month or so, so today I started lets cross our fingures!!! :)

if i gave 100 people a sugar pill and told them it might affect their libido, one of them would likely have a problem with their libido. if i gave 100 people propecia and told them it might affect their libido, 2 of them would have a problem with their libido.

go figure.
