Hi just wanted to give an update. I'm 36 years old now. I still have mild post finasteride syndrome after micro dossing finasteride 9 years ago. You can check my old posts on this account. I have no sensation when I orgasm but my libido and erections are ok. I also have mild tinnitus and some other mild symptoms I won't go into on this forum. What's really interesting though is I believe my hairline hasn't changed at all in 9 years since I tapered off finasteride. I also used to have really bad acne on my back and my buttocks which is now completely gone :). If I could find a way to improve my orgasms and sensation I'd consider this a complete win. Has this happened to anyone else?

How did you taper? Provide the details of your regimen.

Best thing you can do is increase your testosterone through lifestyle changes. Get off the gay p0rn too.

I can't remember exactly how I tapered off finasteride as it was 9 years ago. But I remember increasing the amount of days between each dosage and reducing the amount as I tapered off. Something like 0.25mg every 3 days for 2 weeks. 0.1mg every 4 days for 2 weeks. 0.05mg every 10 days for 2 weeks. I did it very gradually and the last dosage was maybe something like 0.025mg after 30 days. I also took it as Proscar dissolved in alcohol I stored in my fridge in amber glass bottles with dropper pipettes. And I think it took about 2 or 3 months.

Brian Shelton always advised those who quit finasteride to do a taper like that in order to prevent sudden hair loss from upregulation + increased DHT.

Oh and I forgot to mention although my hairline is exactly the same as it was 9 years ago my hair is quite dry and dull now because of the decreased sebum production as my scalp produces less oil. I also have a lot of grey hairs as I smoke on and off. And I've also never used any form of minoxidil.

Sounds like you might have killed off DHT receptors or something. When I stopped using dutasteride my hair remained for a few months and I hoped something similar had happened, but it eventually started disappearing. I think it was the long half life or something.

I found vitamin d3 5000iu and cialis helped with libido. Worth a try.
