Nope, Finasteride side effects are mostly fear mongering. That's why the more potent drug, Dutasteride, has less documented side effects. Finasteride is used by guys who are already worried and depressed about hair loss, that's probably why the nocebo effect goes strong with them. So if you're a healthy individual, there's nothing to worry about. Maybe you are one of the 1% that are unfortunate enough to have erectile problems, but it's reversible. I've taken Finasteride for a year before hopping on Dutasteride which I am a year on too, absolutely no sides. Testosterone is even higher due to less conversion from Test to DHT.
