This is my third time on the drug with the first two times me quitting in a week for fear of sides. I've been on the drug for 1 and a half months and the sides that I've noticed is that my semen is watery and that after ejacualtion my penis goes soft really quickly like 1 second after. I don't know how much my anxiety has to play in this because sometimes I'm worrying about sides but I know the watery semen thing isn't imagined.

I've heard that these can get better after time? The problem is that I'm NW3 with aggressive hairloss, was balding when I was 17 and a half and I'm 22 now. With treatments like shesido on the horizon I'd rather maintain, because from what I've heard shesido are releasing their results in Q2 2018 with a release in in late 2018/2019.

Your fear of sides is a real mental block. I am not telling, that finasteride wont affect your erection and ejaculate volume. It does. But try to calm down a little. Try to add some vitamins and zinc helps a lot (around 50mg). Take break from masturbation and p**rn also for at least 2 weeks. Also sport helps a lot too. I have strongest erections in months when I am doing squats. Hope it helps.

I think going to the gym might help I've not been for a few months. The thing is my brother's been on it for 2 and a half months and he's had no sides but he doesn't think about things like sides.

You really think, that your brother will go to you and ask: "Do you also have lower level of ejaculate and worse libido?"

Thing is I don't think my libido has gotten lower just how soft it goes after ejaculation.

Dude if you are scared of side effects you are going to go BALD. I've been and am on all sorts of crazy meds that make finasteride look like paracetamol and i have ZERO side effects. Man up ffs.

Yeah that's the thing when I think about going bald it really depresses me out, well I already have anxiety and depression but the thought of going bald makes it worse. I think I can tolerate it until shesido comes out, it's not too far away. I think it's easier to maintain than to lose it and get it back with tsuji.

I'd have to agree if you're looking for side effects your going to get side effects. Just take them and go on with your life.

Finasteride, Finasteride, Finasteride! I have lived in 6 countries- US, UK, India, Germany, Russia and Australia. I find US to be the only country where finasteride is given to 20-year-olds like paracetamol

You can try finasteride but i have tried natural dht blockers and got sides in just a week. It all depends on your body. We can say that you wont get side effects but your body might act differently. Like mine did.
