Hi, I am a 22 year old male and recently started noticing hair thinning near crown and top area. There is thinning (receding hairline) at the front too. I am considering taking finasteride + minoxidil for next few months and see the results. If they are good, I might consider taking it for next few years. Can anyone give me an opinion on finasteride. Apart from low sex drive/libido, is there anything else that most people experience that can be dangerous? Kindly help me.
