NEED ADVICE - 24 Year Old considering TRT

That's good that minerals are in check .
Drop the finastride. Remember now,toxins tend to be chronic not acute on bodily functions.
Doing some google searches, this came up. I figured this very well could be the cause and upon doing a simple google search,it may well be.

Here's a link on a MPB thread regarding 5 months of usage.

You know, I was actually a little worried about this before I started taking it a couple years back. I have done a tremendous amount of research on it....and honestly, the facts are just simply not there to prove that inhibiting the 5AR enzyme leads to hypogonadism.
The majority of the evidence of "post-finasteride syndrome" are anectodal, and much of the available information is based in theory.

Also, from what I recall, this syndrome is characterized by normal testo levels but low everything else - this is not the case here.
If you can send me a respectable publication which explains a need to get off of it, I would love to look through it. At the moment however, if I had to choose TRT or complete baldness at 24, I would choose TRT.......so, no I will not be dropping the finasteride.
Thank you for looking out though. Again, if you can link a good study, I would like to read it.

But there are numerous threads stating what I posted earlier. Idk, but like you said,you dont wanna drop it. Have you ever come off it at all in the past ? If it were me, I would stop it just for a bit,just to see. But of course, being 24 and bald is a negative thing.
Heres another link about the negatives of it

Still, it should be taken after HPTA completely matures (after 25 years old) and DHT levels should be monitored.
