Can Finasteride increase appetite?

ozz1
Hi, doctors, I'm in my 30s and been taking finasteride since I was 18 and have a full head of hair. I am slim, 65 kilos and I don't have much fat. my issue is that I'm not happy with my eating habits and the only thing I can blame is the finasteride. I feel if I continue into my 30s and 40s with my current appetite I will eventually gain weight in my gut. I love being healthy but I feel the finasteride may be affecting it. my sex drive is also very low but I don't want to cease medication
