I’m 34 and considering starting finasteride now

I’m 34 and have been using min and niz for about 10 years. Honestly they did their job in maintaining and even regrowing a bit of my hair pretty well but I can see my hair is starting to thin out a bit on top. More of my scalp is visible. I ordered some cheap generic brand of fin called Accord (hopefully its legit) but after reading this forum I’m having second thoughts. My sex drive isn’t that high as it is and the side effects seem brutal. Is there anything I should know before starting these pills or should I just not bother?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Finasteride is a lifetime commitment so if I were you, I would try to get a HAIRHCECK test (https://baldingblog.com/haircheck-test-how-it-is-done-video/ ) before starting the drug to be absolutely sure you know where your hair loss is starting from.
