Its all in my head - the mind

[TylerDurden1]

Hi everyone, sorry this is a bit of a continuation of my previous post about my 6 weeks on propecia, but I felt it as important enough to have its own thread. So I've been on .5mg on propecia for the past 4 days and no longer had any erections problems, at first I attributed this to the fact that I lowered my dosage, but the experience I just had points to another conclusion:

So I spent the last hour browsing this forum and reading about various people experiences with propecia, bad and good, and then took my laptop back to my room with a rather negative feeling from all of the reading I had done. I then decided to shut my door and look at some p**rn, it had been a day since the last time a rubbed one out... anyway... low and behold I couldn't get an erection, the more I thought about it the less likely it seemed to become. So finally I stopped, closed my laptop and went out to my living room. As I sat on my couch I had the strangest realization... that I could control my thoughts and that my thoughts and NOT the propecia were causing my erections problems. I cleared my mind and walked back into my room with no intention of jerking off, I just thought I would watch a bit of p**rn and see what happened. Low and behold I sported wood a few moments later and proceeded to have a fantastic time beating off with the door to my room cracked open!! I would say normally I wouldnt even feel comfortable doing that with my door cracked open, but again, its all in my head.

As of now I think I will stick to .5mg for a while, though I suspect I didnt actually have troubles on 1mg, from my own personal research it seems .5mg is just/extremely close in terms of effectiveness as 1mg.

Hope this experience can be of help to people.

Also, if anyone has any comments or personal experiences such as this, or with .5mg propecia I would love to hear them.

In most cases lowering the dosage, cannot have a serious effect, it seems to with a few people, and everyones system is different but due to how lethal propecia actually is when considering 1mg and .25 and so on do basically the same thing, I would say the improvements mostly come from it being a psychological reaction, or maybe a bit of both.

This does seem to be the case with you, however, I'm hardly an expert so I'd continue to closely watch how you respond, Some over think it so much, that they make themselves actually believe it is all in their head, when it really is their bodies reaction to finasteride. But with your experience it does sound strange, although erratic So as I said keep an eye on things.

I experienced sides nothing serious really, no trouble getting anything up, All my sides went away when I dropped propecia , although I did try lowering the dosage at first to no effect.

later and proceeded to have a fantastic time beating off with the door to my room cracked open!!.

lol I thought you was going to say 'and my mom caught me beating one off'


You do know that masterbation causes hairloss? :tongue:

i think your new found ability to get wood is a placebo effect, not a result of reduction in finasteride. people who start propecia are already stressed about their hair, let alone the potential side effects, and i feel this report confirms that much of the ED-related problems are psychological and in people's heads. good day.
