Personal anecdote: I have been on finasteride for 17+ years with no negative symptoms. I started using it at the age of 17 when I started losing my hair and it immediately stopped / reversed my hair loss. I have a family history of baldness and my grandfather went bald at 20.

So far I've had no issue with sex drive while on the medication. However I did notice an increase in my sex drive when I first went off of the pills while my wife was trying to conceive. (However that seems to be temporary for first few days while my hormones adjusted.)

[Throwaway account since I consider my medical data personal]
