I've been on finisteride since I was 26, and it stopped my hairline from receding and my t levels are actually very high. In fact when I got it tested during a period of time when I wasn't able to get finished steroid, the doctor actually asked me if I was taking anabolic steroids. Some of the side effects you're outlining here are a real possibility, but you also have to take into account that not every single person gets all of the side effects. Some people, like myself, experience zero side effects at all. Actually I would say that the majority of people do not experience side effects when they take the proper dosage. That being 2 mg a day tops. These people are getting side effects because they are stupid and not listening to their doctor. It's not because the drug is evil, it's because the people are overdosing on it. If you take too much ibuprofen for too long you're going to have kidney problems. If you overdose on ibuprofen you're going to need to go to the hospital and get your stomach pumped. If you overdose on aspirin, you're going to need to go to the hospital. The maximum recommended doses are there for a reason. You can't blame the corporations for your own stupidity. Jesus fucking Christ. Hey I heard there's some stupid kids who are eating Tide pods because of a meme online, let's go ban laundry detergent and wash our clothes without soap.
