Dosage Advice for Finasteride and Differentiating Side Effects at 22

im 22 years old and i have very low density hair and i tried fins 1mg before but i noticed mental side effects which affected my studies but now im trynna get back on it and i wanna minimize the side effects.

another thing i need help with it was if the mental side effects are from the drug or just my life and how to recognize and differentiate between them?

Fin can sometimes cause mental side effects, but not everyone gets them. You could try reducing the dose or switching to a topical version to minimize side effects. Keep track of any changes in your mood when starting or stopping the medication to help figure out if it’s the cause.
