Asked By:zlatan in Adelaide, AU

i was prescribed with finasteride 1mg but after taking it for 2 days,i have found the bad side effects of it from the internet which i wasn't made aware of. my question is if i stop taking finasteride after taking it,will it accelerate hair loss at a rate greater than the rate it would have been if i hadn't ever taken finasteride ?
