1. Do you still get morning wood? How often and is it as much as before finasteride?

2. Do you still have the same amount of semen when you c*m as pre-finasteride?

3. Would you say you have a high sex drive? (Be honest here please, I want to make an important decision based on this stuff). How often do you want sex?

4. I've heard stories of finasteride 'destroying the hairline'. Is/was there any sign of this for you?

Re: Guys on Finasteride...

I wake up with morning wood every day. I want sex all the time. My semen comes out the same as before.

I have 8 months of generic Finasteride, hair shed decreased 2 months in. I have maintained, i'm not thinning anymore. I'm 22.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

1. Do you still get morning wood? How often and is it as much as before finasteride?

Yes, I would say I get morning wood most of the times I wake up.

2. Do you still have the same amount of semen when you c*m as pre-finasteride?

at first my load wasn't as potent but it went back to normal after a week or two.

3. Would you say you have a high sex drive? (Be honest here please, I want to make an important decision based on this stuff). How often do you want sex?

my sex drive is fine.

4. I've heard stories of finasteride 'destroying the hairline'. Is/was there any sign of this for you?


I started shedding when I first started taking finasteride but I didn't shed to the point where it was noticeable.

1.I still get morning wood but not as often as before finasteride.

2.Definitely not. My semen is watery and sometimes almost transparent.

3.Not very often.

4.Definitely not. finasteride has preserved my hair (incl. the front) after 14 years of daily use.

So, my sex drive is clearly not as great as before but is finasteride really to blame for that? I don't know. I'm not a kid anymore (34 yo), so it's only natural that my sexual energy starts to decline.

I've been on finasteride since October 2010. No real issues with libido, however I suspect I've developed other finasteride related sides. I noticed slight improvement of hair in May of this year, but because of the other sides, I dropped finasteride for a few weeks and have been shedding like crazy since.

Belmondo, thnks for the honest reply - if you have watery or even transparent semen then doesn't that indicate that it could be finasteride? Sure your sex drive will decrease but 34 is still young.

Do you think you would definitely be bald without finasteride by now and if it is the cause of a lower sex drive then would you still make the same decision to take it?

*edited because i got the name wrong*

What other sides?

So your hair has become dramatically worse since stopping finasteride? Is it returning to where it was previously (if there was improvement) or just getting worse?

Gynecomastia

I stopped finasteride for two weeks straight, then figured i could try a micro dose of 0.5mg every other day. My hair has been falling out non-stop (no joke), and my head is itching worse then ever. I wouldn't say it's worse than baseline, but it's thin enough to the point where people have been saying, 'have you dyed your hair?' because its become much lighter due to the thinning.

Yes, and yes. It varies week-by-week, but I'd say it's generally the same

I believe so...but I've never really gone out and measured it

I probably would have a much higher drive if I didn't have so much stress at work right now, and if my relationship was a bit smoother. I don't want it as much as I did 4 years ago, but I'm fairly certain that it's more to do with stress than anything. Even if it's 100% related to finasteride, it's at an acceptable level to trade for the hair that I have

dutasteride is more likely to destroy the hairline. The reason that it would "destroy the hairline" is more likely because of the fact that finasteride works best on the crown. So, you'll lose more hair on the hairline than you do on the crown, which makes it look like it's wrecking your hairline when in fact it's just maintaining better on the crown

Here's my complete story
viewtopic.php?f=30&t=65594

I have little to no doubt that I would be NW3 or 4 (possibly even 5) by now had I not started finasteride in May of '08. I'm the only male on EITHER side of the family that was any better than NW3 by the time they were 27.

I guess I kind of read your question wrong. I was just pointing out that I did shed for a while but it didn't do any damage to destroy my hairline. Its been working out good for me so far.

1. Yes, I never had any ED problems. Never noticed because it happens all the time.

2. No.

3. Yes- kinda, I was having sex 3-4 times a day without trouble with my friend with benefits. Maybe I wasn't use to having so much sex, but I never had a problem getting hard.

4. Helped mine tremendously until I had to start due to side effects.

I was on it for 1.5yrs.

what where the side effects if you didn't have sexual side effects other than semen volume? Was semen volume much reduced?

semen kinda turned watery. i developed slight gyno and quit asap. i still have a small case of it. im worried when i do AAS, that the gyno will come back so im thinking about getting lipo.

i just thought it was clever that i got the side effects. i've been getting fucked on so many things lately. first jail, then hair loss, then family loss, then gyno, then lonely with my business because we dont have or need employees, injuring my knees and shoulder from working out, getting cited for medical marijuana possession and hiring a lawyer (5k down) to make the police realize its legal in my case and charges were dropped to trespassing..

1. Do you still get morning wood? How often and is it as much as before finasteride?Always :)

2. Do you still have the same amount of semen when you c*m as pre-finasteride?Same, didnt even notice the lesser amount at the beginning most people say they got..guess I just dont look at it all the time.

3. Would you say you have a high sex drive? (Be honest here please, I want to make an important decision based on this stuff). How often do you want sex?
Maybe higher now actually. I do not really notice any thing diffrent, but my wife says I want it all the time now.

4. I've heard stories of finasteride 'destroying the hairline'. Is/was there any sign of this for you?
Only a short 1-2 months in and I notice improvement already, no drastic shed or anything.
