Post-finasteride syndrome is when typically it's males. This is where it's been described. We'll take finasteride at any range of dosages, from 1mg to 5mg per day. They're either doing this for prostate or more likely they're doing it to offset hair loss and increase hair growth, and then they stop taking finasteride for whatever reason, financial or it wasn't working for them or the side effects were not to their liking, and they start to experience some very severe what can only be called syndrome effects, such as very reduced libido, very reduced erectile function, very reduced mood to the point of depression, even suicidal depression.
