How can I know if this is a side effect......

[mikechico]

I just started 0.5 propecia 4 days ago and i feel like a weird pressure in my testicules but in the morning when i wake up im okay....I take it and 1 hour later i feel it....
You thinks it's paranoia or real side effects?

Hey there

No you're not imagining things, this seems to be quite common when starting finasteride. The good news is that it's only temporary and will last 1-2 weeks at the most. I had the same thing, it disappeared after the 5th day.

Don't panic

Anyway hope it goes away....It a bit weird...

thats because bigger boys kick you in the balls and take your lunch money

yeah agree though. especially if you've been 'teased' a lot .. oww.

Well Now Im up to my 5th days and I decided to skip a day cause yesterday night it was really bothering me....I really hope this is going to go away.

I got this about 5 months in, but it affected me in the mornings just as I woke for about a couple of hours. It lasted about six weeks and has stopped now.

It was quite painful at times - a dull ache.

Yes, I've had it before in my life before taking propecia, but it wasn't the with same intensity and I worked out that it was after too much sex or masturbation.

Stick with it !

how would one know if the side effect in itself is gone and not just the symptom/pain of it?

 

[mikechico]

Cool looks like my pain is gone, I stopped on friday and restarted saturday morning and since then nothing....Cool.....

:smack:

 

[mikechico]

Yesterday It started again !!! Is it okay if I stop a day or so till my body ajust itself to finasteride?

Thanks
