I've been on fin for 16 months now and have just started to see positive gains. However, recently I've noticed that I'm feeling "off" and having difficulty concentrating and with short term memory, and reading. Also suffering from head aches. Can fin be the cause of these types of symptoms?

Answer: Finasteride side effects Thank you for your question. After 16 months it is unlikely the effects you are describing will be attributed to finasteride. I would begin by having your eyes checked as the symptoms you describe can sometimes be related to diminishing visual acuity. Stress can also result in similar symptoms. You could certainly talk to your physician about coming off the finasteride for several months to see if your symptoms resolve but I would first look for other possible factors causing your symptoms.

Answer: Finasteride side effects It is unlikely that what you are experiencing is due to Finasteride. I have been on this medication for 15 year, and give a thousand scripts per year of it out. Side effect occur in 1% of patients. Visit your doctor, if he is concerned, he can take you off for a month or so to see if the symptoms resolve or find another cause for them,Dr. Robert Jones
