Please help me! I don't know what to do!

Even though I haven't posted on these boards regularly (hence a expeirenced poster, on gourmetstylewellness.com and HLH) I've read them for the past numerous years. The front of my hair started to recede on most people told me to shave my head, and I'm not about to do that. I've had long nice hair for a good thirteen years now. Women are literally invevious of my hair because of how good it looks. I noticed the receding and wanted to do someting about it. I was freaked at first about finasteride, but after feedback after using bullshit like Revivogen which didn't do sh*t for me I decided to take the plunge.

Well to bring you up to date, I had a few problems, you can look at past posts between here and hairlosshelp.com and I was using 1.25 mg of gen finasteride at first every day then every other day due to supposed sexual side effects. It seemed to work. I noticed right away having watery semen, but really didn't give a f*** and my wood wasn't as hard as usual but still usable. Now that I've been on this stuff for 1 and a half years, which by the way, I believe has pretty much hasn't done much for regrowth but stopped any further loss, I don't know what the heck is going on.

I have a new girlfriend, which is hot as hell. When I first hooked up with her (not to be offensive and explicit), but I boned the living sh*t out of her numerous times a day. Sometimes my erectiions didn't seem as hard, but it wasn't to the point where it would affect me having sex. Now 2 months later, we have foreplay (me being 1 and 1/2 years into treatment, and I don't know what it happening, but I can't keep it up hardly or really hard. Maybe I just have stage fright because my wang hasn't worked once and It's all in my head about failing, I really don't know.

The thing is, almost everytime we go to fool around, I'll first get hard, and then I do something like go down on her, and by the time we're ready to have sex my wang is completely soft. Seems like I can't even get it rock hard like I used to by masterbating or anything. I'm 28 years old, and this just doens't seem right. I've never heard of such of thing happening with any of my family members. I don't know what to do anymore, I feel comptlely lost. Should I just quit finasteride all together, stop for a while and then lower the dosage, or what? I don't want to loose my hair, but at the same time, I don't want a flacid unfunctional dick.

I thought loosing hair was bad, but this is even worse. I'm so freaked out I don't even know what to do. I've tried taking L-arsagine (at the most 3 grams a day), and I honestly don't know how much that helps. I just don't get it. I'm too young for this. I could understand if I was in my 50's, but I'm still half young. I want my hair, but I want a sex life too, and I really don't know what to do. I went a couple days without it and it seemed like one day my stuff was back to normal; maybe it was just in my head, I don't know?

I'm at a complete lost as what to do. I've posted on these boards before and never got much postive feed-back. I'd sooooo much appreciate it if someone could give me some good advice.

Like for instance, if I quite finasteride for good tomorrow, am I fucked? Do I have complications that are going to last for a life-time and I'm going to basically be impotent due to the side-effects of this drug? I seriously pray not :(

Someone, please give me some advice, I'm in urgent need of help. My gf is hot as hell, and it's nothing to do with her. And I feel bad, because she thinks it's her half the time, and it's not. When we first hooked up, I'd bone her up to 5 times a day. Now are sex life is fucked, and I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to have to depend upon some drug like v**** for the rest of my life at my young age just to have somewhat functional sex.

I'd seriously appreciate any good advice.

Thank you, and please don't take me as some freak trying to dog on finasteride because it's the only thing that's been able to half help me. I'd love to be able to still have a head of hair and at the same time have a good sex life.

Thanks,

SBJ

Go to your local fitness store and buy some L-arginine. Also weight lifting should improve your erections and get the blood flowing. If all fails, quit finasteride and buzz your head.

Apoc, he said he's tried L-arginine before and it didnt help him much.

snowboardjunkie,
there's only one way of knowing if it's the finasteride that's causing all this. either quit or cut the dosage, which is what i would do. go to 0.5mg, if u still have sides, try 0.25mg (quarter propecia pill) a day. if u still have sides after that then unfortunately you'll probably have to quit the propecia (unless obviously you're willing to take the sides).

Update

I have quit finasteride just to see if the sexual issues were related to it and sure enough they were. Have no problem getting an erection, like my dick is disconnected from my brain.

So now my question is, just popped my first pill of finasteride today. I take 1.25 mg at a time being my pills are 5 a peice. It seems like it'd be hard to cut them with the pill cutter into eighths or more.

Do you think taking it maybe once every three days, will still do me good, and not give me any sides?

I'd try taking it every other day and see if the sides go away.

It looks like you are very affected by this(emotionally and physically), so I think its best to lower your dose to 0.5mg/day. I read some people have had good results with even 0.25mg a day. And dude, you might want to get propecia if you go down to 0.5mg or 0.25mg it will be easier to cut. Not sure if $$$ is an issue for you, if not you could try 1.25mg out of proscar every other day. Good luck

Ever thought about switching from finasteride to dutasteride and seeing if there's any change as far a side effects go?

i think he should start splitting propecia pills in 4ths first to get 0.25mg of finasteride instead of trying dutasteride.

Cialis, 20mg the day you are going to have sex as needed, or 5-10mg ED constantly.

Sounds lame I know, but I have friends who have saved relationships by using it. Ive used it before when coming off steroid cycles, works awsome, although AAKG at 3mg seems to do the same thing.

AAKG is way better than L-Arginine, give that a shot first.
