Experiencing Depression on Finasteride 1mg Daily for 6 Months - Advice Needed

I’m currently going through a really rough patch in life. The career I imagined for myself fell through and I’ve been feeling extremely depressed (with occasional suicidal thoughts).

I’ve been taking fin 1 mg daily for about half a year now, and I’m wondering if it could be making my mood worse and whether I should consider stopping it to see if things improve. I haven’t really noticed any obvious sides after starting the med other than maybe some lower libido.

Has anyone gone through something similar or noticed mood changes on fin, which improved after stopping? Would appreciate hearing any thoughts.

I’m no expert and don’t use finasteride myself, but the side effects do seem pretty intense. Are you thinking about stopping it?
