20 yr old w/questions about Fina.

[jr27]

Im interested in propecia becasue I want to catch this problem sooner rather than later. I always cringe when I read up on the horror stories of propecia and the horrible sides that can possibly happen. "I felt like there was no connection between my brain and penis", im sorry but I love the connection between my brain and penis, id rather have no hair and a fully functional penis to be honest. So these questions are aimed at the long time propecia users.

Does sex seem less exciting or boring since propecia?
Does your penis not get as strong as it used too?
Is your seemen still fertile to have kids in the future?
Do you feel less masculin due to the decrease of test?
Does your body seem more out of shape (gyno issues)?

I know these questions seem absurd but thats what online fourms are for, right? Any sort of response is appreciated.

Alright no replys. Let me rephrase that. Will I loose my "mojo" after beeing on propecia for 5 years?

I took 1mg propecia for over a year. After about a year, I did start to lose interest in sex and got some erectile dysfunction. I thought it would never happen to me as I'd always been so interested in sex and women, but after a year on propecia I couldn't maintain an erection for long even with some very hot women. There were some really depressing moments. It really freaked me out so I stopped taking the propecia and took zinc, garlic and multivitamins. Now, about five months later, I seem to be back to normal sexually. I've noticed my hair has thinned a little though so I've now started taking 0.5mg propecia (half a tablet) and will see how it goes...

don't believe the horror stories. The vast majority of men are fine with Finasteride. Speak to your doctor about it

I'm 20 aswell and am currently on a 1 month break from a 6 month finasteride orgy because of gyno issues. These have now vanished and every day i ponder getting back on the stuff but at a lower does.

Other then that, during the 6 months
sex was never less exciting or boring, i mean c'mon.
Penis strong as an ox.
I have no idea if im infertile, i hope not.
Only felt less masculine cuz of the pseudo-gyne thing.

I say get on it, but start off at a low dose and slowly work your way up to 1mg to be safe. Good luck man.

I've been on it for 4 months with no sides at all. Sex drive is as strong and sometimes stronger than it ever was.

how did you lose the gyno? I have gyno due to an unrelated medication

19, been on finasteride 5 months. Around month one noticed a increase in libido, but now a definite decrease. I'll be getting off it in a about a month when I start other topical treatments. The sexual sides effects of this drug are very real and I think the 2% reported is BULLSHIT.

 

[jr27]

Right now im contemplating propecia or finpecia. Is it worth the extra money for the official thing? I would most likely only take .5 a day and Nizoral 1% 3xs a week. What else would you guys recommend ?

i don't really know...i never had it before taking the finasteride, but after 5 months on the stuff i couldnt wear t-shirts as it just looked stupid. Now its all normal, which i am obviously very glad of, just wary about taking it again.
Are you thinking of getting on finasteride yourself?

it's been about 3 months for me. At first I thought i noticed a reduction in bonertown... but that could have also been my mental state in general. But now, things seem to be just frickin' dandy.

Whether or not this sh*t is working is an entirely different story. I *think* it is.. but i might just be driving myself crazy...
