Finasteride

Hi all.

Has anyone taken Finasteride for female pattern baldness? I had what I think were some pretty severe mood (extreme irritability and anxiety and rumination) side effects and what felt like ovarian cysts (or at least cramping) during a one month trial, but my doctor said those symptoms were likely not due to the medication. It felt like the worst PMS of my life...I’m also 39yo and likely peri-menopausal, so could just be due to that?

Anyone experience anything similar or know someone who has.

Thanks in advance.
