"I start taking saw palmeto complements for hair loss problems, i read that it improve a lot in this domain, and saw videos before deciding to try. After a week, I started to have major anxiety, lose sleep and appetite, I feel extremely tired due to the permanent stress and panic, and I don't feel myself again. I stop immediately and recommend to someone who want to take it to talk with his doctor before."

"Please don't use saw palmetto. It is not a treatment. It is a poison. After using for few months I got very sick, like hitting a strong flu. My whole body ache, my joints ache , my appetite gone.I am 100% impotent and have got gynecomestia. Due to the damage to my body I have lost my job too. Many years have passed by but I am suffering like the day one."

"I have been using saw palmetto for a year and four months. When starting saw palmetto my hair loss has reversed and new hairs are appearing and I do believe saw palmetto has really help. But if I didn't improve the blood flow to my scalp by massaging daily. I don't think it would have done anything because if you have poor blood flow to the hairs that are thinning. The hairs will not be able to grow and the dht blocking effect of saw palmetto would not take place. I have gone from an norwood 3 to a norwood 2.5. It is huge the difference when I compared a year and after photos. The only side effects I have sometimes is joint aches. I did a half marathon 4 months ago and the aches and joint pain were worse because of the saw palmetto I believe. And it made my depression I had back then was two times worse. But I have picked myself up since then and I feel fine. I think with time your body adapts to the herb. Make sure you research the risks of saw palmetto before you start taking it daily."

"I took saw palmetto for SSRI Sexual Dysfunction. I had been having difficulty maintaining an erection after a little over 1 month on sertraline when my dose was increased from 50-100mg this supplement helped me get harder in a dosage of 160-320 mg"

"Any 5AR drug (for blocking DHT) I have tried including Saw Palmetto seems to give me anxiety and cause dizziness. I thought Saw Palmetto being natural would not cause these symptoms but it did. I am not going to be taking it anymore."

"I'm 43. I don't have any prostate issues. I read about the benefits of supplementing with it as a preventive measure against future prostate issues. I've now been taking Saw Palmetto for around 5 years. Currently take 3000mg capsule once a day. I can report that I have no side effects whatsoever from taking this. I have Ulcerative Colitis and believe this works fine along with other medications and supplements I take daily. I had recommended to an older friend who was having troubles with the need to urinate a lot or had the urge to go but dry run. He was extremely happy with it and reported that after 3 days use it had cut his toilet runs by over half"

"My hair was thinning and I believed it was because of dht- turns out it was a circulation problem that was solved with arginine, but that was a year later and I had been taking 450mg of saw palmetto daily since. I mistakenly tried stopping saw palmetto cold turkey - I suffered depressive symptoms that became worse every day I skipped the med: no motivation, apathetic, exhausted, bouts of rage and irritability and, of course, steadily decreasing sex drive. I also missed my period that month, something that hasn’t happened in almost five years, when I ditched the birth control pills for good. Once I figured it out and started taking saw palmetto again, my symptoms improved almost overnight. Currently I am weaning off of it - tapering the dose down every month - but it has to be done very slowly or my symptoms return with a vengeance. I figure I’ll be on saw palmetto for at least another six months."

"I have been taking for over 2 years, forget to take occasionally. Female 75 years, female pattern hair loss, my hair loss seems to have stopped, at one time did feel as if had some stubbly hair growing, maybe wishful thinking. Hair loss started after the menopause. Can't say I have had any side effects, at 75 you get the odd ache and pain. I take 1, 3,000mg tab a day plus a multivitamin and mineral tab. I only give it a six rating because not sure if the stop in hair loss is due to Saw Palmetto"

"I been taking saw palmetto now for 2 months must say it makes you more sleepy. I end up sleeping more which is a bad thing I guess. I used to sleep less now am sleeping more and don’t want to get up sometimes. And also I had some diherrea at the beginning which I think my body is slowly adapting to the herb. Haven’t seen any difference yet to my hair but some light shedding. Maybe I need to wait for another 5 months to see a difference."
