Hair Loss Started Again After a Couple Years on Propecia
Hello, I have been taking Propecia now for about 2 1/2 years and believe it has slowed my hair loss down but has not stopped it.

Reader Warning About Switching from Propecia to Avodart
Dear Dr. Rassman, This is a story, not a question, but I thought you might want to put it on your site because you often talk about the unproven effects of Avodart and why you don’t prescribe it. I had a very bad experience with Avodart and wanted to put it out there where people would be able to read about it. I took Propecia for 3 years,...

Impotence After a Few Days on Propecia — Is it The Drug or Anxiety?
Hi I’ve just started on finasteride, and I’m wondering if it is possible to see side effects (impotence) after only a couple of days on the drug. I’m not sure if it’s just my anxiety and over-analysis causing the problem, or if it’s actually the drug itself. I’d really really appreciate a private answer. Thanks!...

If I Have Increased Libido from Propecia, Does That Mean I’ll Lose Hair?
Drs I have recently started a course of Propecia. Based on what I’ve read, I understand that the drug can, in rare cases, cause sexual side-effects, namely decreased libido, reduced ejaculate and even erectile dysfunction. I’ve found that it has had the reverse effects on me, that is, it has heightened my libido and increased my ejaculate,... 
Does Dr Rassman Only Endorse Big Pharma?
Dr. Rassman, Strictly for the sake of playing devil’s advocate with you here – When you imply that products offered by non-”Big Pharma” companies are likely bogus or that you don’t buy into their efficacy because the only proof of their viability is based on their own self-promotion basically (i.e. your posts about Drs....
