No morning wood while on Propecia? I'd say that isn't a very good thing. Get yourself checked, I would do that if I were you.

that is really that bad ? damn it has been at least 1 year that i didnt have morning wood . i thought that was normal while on propecia
Not even random morning woods here and there?
As Lacey said if you can still get it up it isn't a problem.
I've noticed that I don't get random erections in class or at work as I used to... unless I'm full on flirting with s girl or hooking up but morning woods are still going strong for me
So yeah, if you're having trouble with erections AND lacking morning woods I'd go to a Doctor or just quit or reduce dosage

yes i can have when i want , but no morning wood or during the day like before. i am only 23 yo.
But maybe it is because i am in a deep depression period because of my hairloss . I am currently on 5 mg fina and i thnik it cause more side. I will test my prolcatin because it might be too high

It is concerning. It could be the canary in the coal mine as far as sexual health is concerned. I lost morning woods one decade ago after taking finasteride for three weeks.

just three weeks?
All bad advice
If you do not get morning wood anymore when taking Propecia, STOP TAKING IT
If you do not get morning wood, like ever, you have ED. Period.
Morning wood is present in all males who do not have erectile dysfunction.

i thought that it wasnt that important . Even dr rassman said that was just something mechanical.
I don't want to drop propecia

"Just something mechanical" is a big deal.
A lack of morning wood all the time means that there is a physiological problem rather than a psychological one. Even if you can still get erections, they will not be quite as strong as before, I guarantee it.
I would speak to another doctor, but I would really recommend you quit taking the drug if this is happening while on it.

Yes, I don't like bringing it up as it might alarm people. I don't discount people with PFS but even I find it difficult to accept that three weeks on it could have long lasting effects one decade on! I should also mention that I had,and still do to an extent, less than stellar lifestyle habits: cigarette smoking, sedentary lifestyle etc. I started taking finasteride again just over a month ago. I can confidently say it has not made my ED any worse and if anything my libido is better now.

damn thisis insane , the medication is giving me sides effect but it doesnt work for my hair . crazy
1 mg of finasteride is nearly as potent as 5 mg, I sh*t you not. The drug has a nigh flat-dose response.
Dude, I know you don't want to lose your hair and everyone here knows that I am not a finasteride scaremonger (quite the opposite), but I strongly urge you to reconsider if you are getting ED.
Hopefully, FIDIA's topical will be out in the next year and that will put this whole issue to bed.
For the first time ever, hairloss sufferers have a real hard six to roll:
Do you take finasteride and benefit from conventional treatment right now in the event that the future doesn't pan out? Are you one of the unlucky ones and wind up f*****g yourself up and then better sh*t that really works (like histogen) is released? You got your hair back, but it cost you your sexual health when it didn't have to.
Or, do you say f*** it and bet on the 7 - 10 promising treatments that are in the pipeline and in clinical trials and maybe just use Rogaine? Perhaps you'll get your hair back/maintain it after all, but possibly at the cost of your hair while you're young and the pricetag will likely be high. You might not have a great present, but it's no longer an insane thought that your future could be better. Full head of hair and fully functioning dick.
In my opinion, the choice isn't black and white anymore and it's tough one you have to make, but we all must choose and live with our choice.

thx for your support , i am already on rogaine . I thought that was maybe because of my depression because of the hairloss . I can't stop propecia , it reassures me even if it doesn't work. And i have no faith in the future . I would like to trust this future treatment but i am afraid they will come to late
