Hair loss can be a distressing experience, prompting many to seek effective solutions such as Finasteride-a popular choice in hair loss treatment for men. However, there's a crucial aspect to consider when using this medication: the potential development of Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) upon abrupt discontinuation.
Finasteride, known for its ability to slow hair loss and even promote regrowth, has been a game-changer for many. Yet, the decision to cease its use must be carefully deliberated. Going "cold turkey" without a gradual tapering-off approach can lead to a host of problems.
Post-Finasteride Syndrome is a condition where individuals experience persistent and often severe side effects after stopping Finasteride. These can include sexual dysfunction, mood swings, and various hormonal imbalances. The abrupt cessation of the medication can trigger a hormonal rollercoaster, akin to opening Pandora's Box.
To mitigate this risk, it's imperative to seek professional advice and consider a gradual discontinuation plan. This measured approach minimizes the potential for the resurgence of symptoms and the development of PFS, ultimately safeguarding your hair and overall well-being. So, when it comes to Finasteride, think twice before going cold turkey-it's a decision that could have lasting consequences.

administration of finasteride decreases social interaction and results in cognitive deficits, potentially through a cholinergic mechanism. Further studies are required to understand the exact link between the cognitive effects and the cholinergic system.Side effects may be irreversible and include persistent erectile dysfunction, depression, suicidal tendencies, loss of libido, anxiety, and other neurological issues (ie. memory loss, altered mental status).
The dtufies dont lie snd rheyre continuing woth 186 brain DNA genes have been altered. All for hair ! I took finasteride before these studies were shown or id have never taken iy. Hopefully some young guys who are considering taking finasteride see this and think 1,000,000 about it and then dknt go for it. Best to everyone

Respect to you doctor for discussing this topic. It is a very tough balance sometimes getting the correct dose of finasteride without sides. I stopped cold turkey, and went through a bad period. Smart and well though out video as always.

Thanks Doctor! I live in canada and am currently on .5mg finasteride daily, but i am waiting to visit my doctor before i begin to slowly wean off. You really saved me from going cold turkey as that was my original plan, so i cannot thank you enough.
Best of luck!

Very informative vedio
Good video. We don’t all have the same biology and may respond differently. Most tolerate the medication well, but for some it can have serious long-lasting consequences.
Thanks for the note.
Nice video..
i lovee this vdo so much ❤❤
Amazing vedio
Nice video
So informative video
Spelling.
hi doc, could you further flesh out your proposed mechanism for the development of pfs and add supporting evidence for that hypothesis? I am not understanding the connection with the central hormone regulation and so on...
I specifically told my prescriber the side effects I was having and blatantly asked how to safely discontinue the drug. It completely went over his head as he instead just prescribed me the topical version to replace the pill 😒. I had no choice but to quit cold Turkey and boy did I pay!!! We definitely need an informational video like this… so the next person who gets trapped will be better informed of how to reduce the terrible consequences this drug can have.
Thanks for your experience. It helps the community.
Infomative vedio
Nice
Great video Dr. Can you answer the following, if im on trt will that protect me from finasteride side effects? I tried it and feel very low mood afterwards and tired. I think it has downregulated my neurosteroids

Hello doctor, is there any particular brand of dutasteride you recommend?
I abstain from recommending brands here to keep the channel commerce free.
Have you had any long term PFS suffering patients Dr? Or have all your patients recovered? Thanks for your great work 👍🏻
I have never seen a patient with PFS since l my patients follow my advice mostly.
@@hairtransplantinindia thanks for the reply. That’s reassuring to know as I’m sure with amount of Finasteride you have prescribed over the years, if this was as common a syndrome as the internet would suggest then you would have seen it in its abundance. Not to discredit its validity, but it’s important to hear about real world facts. Thank you 👍🏻
I would not be prescribing Finasteride if it was such a monster. There is no money to be made out of Finasteride for a doctor as many would suspect. @@willrigz6570
Thank you for the video, do you find that Saw Palmetto can induce the same side effects as Finasteride and if so should the same tapering off strategy be used? And thank you in advance.
It hardly has any effect leave alone the possibility of side effects
@@hairtransplantinindia thank you. So not a fan of it but also nothing to be feared?
Thank you for your videos! If I am understanding correctly, if I am currently taking 1mg per day, I should take .5mg per day for one month, and then maybe .5mg every other day for one month, and then maybe .25mg every other day for the 3rd month?
You are correct
Side effects stay around for over a year. Thanks for the video.
U also got side effects??
@@PeterParker-op7fb Yes the way he explained. Everything happened to me and more and it took a good 1-2 years to settle down.
Good though
Sir, Is it good to use Cyproterone acetate medicine along with finestride 1 mg daily??
No harm in the combination.
Good day dr...
I m having finax 1 mg daily for past 2 years... I didnt have any side effect yet..
My question is can i hve finestride on alternative days ie 15 days in a month??? Wil it worsen my condition?

Does the same apply to dutasteride? With the drug having such a long active half-life i would think cold turkey wouldn't make a difference since going back to baseline is a slow process. I took what i think may have been a a very large single dose and i didn't like the sides as compared to fin at all so i didn't take anymore of the drug. It's been 2 months since i stopped and i still have sides. I'm hoping this is just simply because the dose i took was very big and it may take longer than expected to go back to normal.
Dutasteride blocks almost all of your DHT ! That is worrisome. I try not to prescribe this drug due to bad experiences with patients in the past.
@@hairtransplantinindia yeah. I'm trying not to worry too much about it tho since i'm sure i'll be fine. I've been on finasteride on and off for a while with 0 issues. Sometimes cold turkey. I always recovered extremely fast tho this is just me.
Definitely best to just have people stick to fin and cut back on dose and frequency to avoid sides, exorcise and stay healthy to produce natural to make up for the lost dht etc.
I tried dutasteride topically semi-convinced only a small amount would actually penetrate the skin and hair papilla. But evidently it was a wrong assumption. The drug goes systemic and it was in a 0.3% concentration in a glycol solution which made the drug even more likely to penetrate. So most likely, i'll just have to wait as i'm sure my DHT is still largely suppressed.
The studies iv'e seen seem to indicate there's a minimum of a 2-3 month wait for dht to return to baseline in doses over 0.5. I'll leave an update in about another month or 2.
Hey doc, is hair transplant possible during defuse thinning alopecia?
Yes please watch: ruclips.net/p/PL369T6qyYsuGoKZhSQtUE04Hp3YFCcphT&si=Kjaqk2IybT5Ug-Mv
Hi Sir,
I am taking Finasteride 1mg tab for 3 day without seeing any doctor. I am 20 and already lost much hair and becoming bald (probably grade 2 now). So I started taking Finasteride after researching online on my own. But now I came to know about PFS. I am terribly scared now. But I am also worried about hairloss. What should i do now?
Keep taking the drug if you want to keep your hair. And don't panic in the beginning, everyone experiences side effects in the 1st months. Keep taking the drug for at least 6 weeks before scaring yourself to discontinue.
Hi doctor , do you suggest your patients go on and off finasteride ?
Is it recommended even if the patient isn't seeing any side-effects and who falls between NW 2 and 3.
Thanks
Yes always, and even in those not having side effects.
@@hairtransplantinindia not 15 days break , I'm curious about the 3 months or more break that some doctors suggest to be off the drugs...
Is it common ?
Again , considering that I'm between NW 2 and 3.
If baldness is active, this break can make you permanently lose ground.@@sagarbadiger5554
@@hairtransplantinindia thank you so much for your response... Much needed at this point...
❤️
Wish I had seen this video sooner. I am now struggling with what I believe to be PFS. Any ideas Dr on how to get back to normal?
@@danf2644 any updates on feeling better?
@@Aw5766 unfortunately not
Wow
Sir I have scalp pain+ itchy hairline and when I comb my hair I feel pain in the root of hair. Sir is that normal to shed some 3-4 thinner than other hair in 20-30 hair shampoo day?( I shampoo 2 times a week?
The pain is a sign of ongoing progression of baldness.
Sounds like it is not worth even trying the medication if you believe people stand a chance of experiencing PFS on discontinuation then.
Being on medication without understanding your hormonal statues and taking it without supervision is what lands you in serious problems.
Sir, then how to take a break of 3 weeks after three months? Can we gradually off the dose or is it okay to stop suddenly for 1 month?
2-3 weeks is not too much of a time gap to have problems as I have discussed later in this video- 5AR that is inhibited has a half life of 30 days
In one of your other videos you said to stop taking finasteride every 3 months for 2 weeks to reduce build of the drug? I'm confused?
Yes I said that. That is not 'cold turkey'
@@hairtransplantinindia To clarify. If im taking 1mg of finasteride every day for 3 months. I should stop taking finasteride for 14 days and then continue on? Thank you
I left spirolactone and bicalutamide abruptly in the middle of the treatment while continuing dutasteride and oral minox and when I restarted them , hair fall is continuing since 3.5 months like 30,49,50, hairs per day! Have they stopped working? Has the efficacy of the medicines declined?.
There can be so may reasons. You can send me pictures.
@@hairtransplantinindia thank you Doctor.🙏
Should I bother taking testosterone/estrogen test if I do not have anything close to low libido or symptoms of high estrogen? I am 40 and do not plan on having more kids
Yes as baseline you should get lab work done.
Hello doctor
I would like to know how to flush out every 3 months as you have mentioned before, as this sounds like cold turkey to me? Wouldnt this encourage disturbing the hormones as mentioned in this video?
Thanks :)

@@hairtransplantinindia Pain in prostate and testicles
I was on fin for one week with 0.5 mg everyday, and got bad ball ache, pain in lower back and around prostate.
The last 4 days i have stopped the medication because of this and wont start again, but my question is when Can I expect it to go back to normal?
I surprises me how I Can get all these side effects on such a low does for such a small period.
I’m hoping that also means it Will go away soon.
Any experiences or suggestions?
.
@@berkenilkin5576 What were your testosterone/estradiol levels before starting the medication?
@@hairtransplantinindia 21.1 n/mol test and 0.17 n/mol estradiol
My side effects are nipple and chest swelling and when I come off for a week it goes away. It isnt in my head at all
That is a real side effect and most likely you are not a candidate. In another post you have reported a high estrogen level.
Doctor, can we take finastrite 3 days a week rather than everyday after hair transplant?
I would not advise it.
I took fin 1 mg for 4 months. Side effects were gradual. Didnt know how i bad i felt until i got off it for 30 days. Brain fog disappeared, libido increased dramatically, and just felt more energy. I remember it was like clockwork. Day 31 32 suddenly felt my body coming back alive.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the community.
Hi Dr,
I have gone cold turkey and I still have side effects with me after about a year of being off the drug!
Is there any way to improve the situation?
Hello bro can you please share your dosing and period you had it, what are the side effects your facing and how serious they are now. Please sir
What are your hormonal levels?
@@hairtransplantinindia Total Testosterone: 750
Free Testosterone: 9.1
.25 lowers just as much dht at 1mg. the dose titration wont effect levels at all.
People should try it and see for themselves. It's all about titrating the lowest dosage to get a result.
ive been 4 years with great results and no sides, i stared taking ssri and then got my sex drive gone. i stopeed five month ago the ssri, and still dont have sex drive. i am still on fin and got high progesterone in my blood test. what should i do? should i stop? should i go to topical fin for now? should i lower dose? i am dessperate
Age? Total testosterone level?
What about exiting Dutasteride?
It's the same since the group is common

i did this mistake. my hair was pretty good at that point and left side dense. i was off about1 month due to reasons. Started losing dense and hair all over have been taking fin since the 1 month break. im afraid if this is permanent or coming back at the time
Should come back.
@@hairtransplantinindia Okay i lost a lot of it and volume but this relief stress little bit that it is possible at least. hard to understand if the dht killed follicles so fast
heard something about catch up hairloss. Whats your thoughts about that
Ok if i have been of finasteride for 2 years and im still not better what do i do?
Follow my 5 strategies when on oral finasterde. It is on this channel.
Non profit channel? Kindly explain dr Bhatti.
No medication is mentioned other than by it's generic name. No medications are sold on this platform. It is an educative channel.
im suffering from pfs i stop fenistroide after 6 months coz it has some side effects so then after that i m suffering from pfs lower adm pain and prostate pain i think so what is the solution its already 40 days 😢
Levels of androgens and estrogen before starting the medication? And what does your doctor say?
Thank you. I took 1.25mg finasteride a day in 2004 until 2005 at the age or 24 to 25. Just about one year. Unfortunately I never fully recovered from it to this day. The last 4 years I tried various treatments like DHEA, Pregnenolone, HCG and Testosterone Replacement Therapy. Even though my Testosterone levels are 3x higher than range (1800 ng/dl) it feels like I dont have testosterone in my body. It seems this drug damages something in the hormonal system. To add to this, before I started any treatment in 2019, I did a hormone profile and my Total T was on the upper end of the scale (756 ng/dl) and my DHT was on the top end as well. Its not a hormonal imbalance but I think a damage to the receptors. With 16 years I took accutane. Maybe that did a pre damage already making finasteride doing the final damage. We will never know because big pharma is not interested in curing people they messed up. Back then in 2005 there was very little information available. After experiencing terrible crippling side effect, I went off cold turkey of course.
Edit: What I want to add, I react very severely to anything that influences DHT. Even taking a Zinc (5ar blocker) supplement gives me full blown PFS symptoms.
I'm sorry man. That's fucked up.
Thanks for sharing. Finasteride is not for everyone, that is why it is not OTC.
