hi Dr.Rassman , Ive been taking propecia now for 4 months and have noticed results , but i have also lost a lot of muscle mass and facial hair growth and was wondering if these could be side effects.
I have had one patient report loss of body hair with Propecia — did you lose body hair? There have been no reports in my practice of muscle mass changes. I would certainly get a doctor to analyze the testosterone and DHT levels, as well as other blood tests that he/she might feel are appropriate.

Propecia has made me feel stronger at the gym. I don’t think you work out hard enough or you’ve slacked off. I follow the training regimen from Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding, and I think the info there is the best, but on some online forums guys always say following that regimen made them lose weight, which I think is them being lazy fucks.
