No Morning Wood On Propecia Is It Bad ?

[Dante92]

"Bad"? It depends on your point of view.

 

[michel sapin]

english is not my first langage so i meant is it dangerous

 

[michel sapin]

the first sign of impotence is what i meant to say

 

[Roberto_72]

I wonder why you went from 1mg (when you did not have sides) to 5mg (when you have sides).
The correct dosage for finasteride for hair loss is 1 mg; 1.5 max. Why 5?

 

[michel sapin]

because 1 mg did nothing for my hair. My hair kept miniaturiazing. So i added minoxidil, but i know that minoxidil is only hiding the problem .
So i upped my dosage to 5 mg . I wanted to add duta but , i thought 5 mg was less dangerous . and i see that 0.1 mg of duta = 5 mg propecia .

 

[michel sapin]

according to your knowledge armando, the sides on duta would be worse ? i would rather kill myself than reach the Norwood 3 territoru or having diffuse thinning? i know that sound crazy , but i am too young for hairloss . and i don't want to have gyno or impotence either. But damn, propecia 1 mg doesn't work for me .

so what can i do? i know that minoxidil on the long run is a really bad solution . Maybe duta would give me less sides but that seems strange and the long half life is scary . Or i could wait for the cure but for me that is not a good solution . Unfortunately i fall in the 10 % of propecia non responder

 

[michel sapin]

you know i am not a propecia scaremongers , when i first strated taking it i 2 years ago was fcking happy thinking my pb would be solve but now i am in depression .

Go back to 1mg for a month or 2, if morning wood returns stick to that dose.

 

[michel sapin]

this is what i a m going to do . 0,5 mg morning and 1 mg night or 0,5 mg night . No more than 1,5 mg per day

hey guys , just wanted to know if the fact of not having morning wood on propecia was a bad thing ? Is it important or not? does this mean my hormone are messed up ? thx

Over-reacting IMO. Is your life filled with defending your castle from pussy being flung at it every morning? ..because morning wood doesn't make or break ones life (I don't get it much anymore and have been on finny for a while) but I'm 30 and getting married. Welcome to life after 18.
If you can't bone in general maybe we have a conversation but I still wake my woman up at night or morning with or without wood.

 

[michel sapin]

thanks for your help man . I am only 23 and before propecia i had them , it is just because some people said that was the first step to impotence.

Like you, when I was on finasteride (for around 13+ yrs) I would rarely have morning wood, and in fact I was getting less & less during the years. But hey, I will turn 40 in 4 months.

When I took a break from finasteride, morning woods came back full power, after 2 to 3 weeks. I did not even noticed I wasn't having it anymore..
Now, I am 8 months back on finasteride. And I remember that 1 month after I resumed finasteride, they were gone again. Today I have sporadic events.. Don't really bothers me, as I can perform no problem. Rather have my hair than a morning erection.

 

[michel sapin]

thx for your help man , so the lack of morning wood means almost ,othing in term of sexual function.
So that might mean the medicine is doing is job on me, so why am i still losing hair .damn

 

[Ruby]

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

23 yrs old and taking 5mg finasteride each day.... yeah, I'd say that's a main reason why you're not getting morning wood anymore. I didn't know before that you were so young, and that's a pretty high dosage of finasteride for a young guy to be taking especially if you're not getting satisfactory hair preservation/growth out of finasteride. 5mg a day is a dosage more suited for an older male. Hell, I'm not even taking that much and I'm intentionally trying to turn my body into a pseudo-woman as much as I possibly can.

I don't want to come off sounding mean or anything, but you've been so indecisive and questioning about this finasteride vs dutasteride thing for an awful long time now. Maybe you just need to make the decision and get some dutasteride and give it a try. But before you do, maybe drop back to no more than 1.25 to 2.5mg of finasteride and perhaps give that Alpicort F topical solution a try along with the minoxidil. It sure worked a miracle for whatevr's regrowth. We're all basically experimenting on ourselves here anyway, it's a gamble and like many things in life there's never any rewards without taking some risks.

 

[michel sapin]

thx for your help . according to you dutasteride is more likely to give me some sides ?
I have dropped my dosage to 2,5 mg per day max.
but i don't understnad why 5 mg woud cause more sides than 1 mg , both inhibit 69 % of serum dht.
and alpicort might turn into something systemic right ?

Finasteride side effects are dose - dependent.
Dutasteride sides are reported to be more potent than those of finasteride. Sperm count drops more steeply, for one.

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.

All males without ED will get erections during sleep, but not necessarily an erection upon awakening. It all depends on whether you wake during REM sleep. If you notice a significant decrease in erections upon awakening after starting finasteride, then yes it could very possibly be a sign of ED.

 

[michel sapin]

finasteride side effect are dose depndant ? why? if 5 mg inhibit the same amount of serum dht and the drug has a falt curve response
So that means the benefits for the hair are also dose dependant? the more you take the more hair gains ?

 

[horunger]

I saw on this british tv thing about weird diseases that you should buy some stamps at the postale and wrap around the penis when sleeping, if you wake up and its broken you had an erection, meaning you dont have ED - its all in your head, and if its still on and not broken you really have ED.

Found a recipe,

How the Test Is Performed
A strip of four to six postage stamps (any kind) is used for each test. The test needs to be done for 3 nights. The man needs to wear brief-type undershorts that have a fly. Place the penis through the fly, leaving most of the pubic hair against the body.
Wrap the strip of stamps snugly around the shaft of the penis. The stamps need to overlap so the overlapped stamp can be moistened to seal the ring. When the stamp has dried, carefully place the penis back inside the shorts and wear them while sleeping. (They help protect the stamps from falling off).
In the morning, check to see if the stamp ring has been broken along the perforations. If the tearing of the stamps awakens the man during the night, check for an erection and how rigid the erection is.

Maybe because the sides are also related to the lack of 5-AR ? finasteride binds itself to the 5-AR, so they won't produce DHT. But, maybe the lack of 5-AR is what causes sides??
