Im seeking advice

Hello everyone,

I am a 23 year old male athlete, I have been taking 1mg of fin a day for almost 5 years now. I have never had any side effects concerning libido or erectile disfunction or depression. Occasionally i would have confidence issues, but ive had them since I was 13. So I dont feel like fin has negatively affected me in any way. But after some research seeing how DHT is important in the development of the brain even into late 20's and how post finasteride syndrome is a thing, I am thinking of completely stopping finasteride. I also read that the lack of DHT could affect motivation and drive. However, my motivation and drive has always been high. I am always working on my craft always training, always trying to be better. I am now thinking that maybe I could have performed better if i never took finasteride. And I dont want to be taking this for the rest of my life after seeing how DHT can be important. What would you guys recommend?

And please guys dont sugarcoat anything i need complete honesty.
