What I don't understand

[red_man]

I've seen here and other forums guys that take finasteride for 1-5 years with no sides....than suddenly they get balls ache and no errections.

How the heck this happens? No issues for such a long time than you suddenly get sides. All the time they say it gets to normal a few days after stop finasteride....so that's why it's caused by finasteride.

Is there a trigger somehow that we don't know. Everyone should worry that after 5 years suddenly sides kicks in?

I've read about claims that Finasteride does that. There's no scientific evidence that Finasteride can be taken for years with no side effects and then they suddenly come along.

Understand that with any medication, if a person is taking medicine and are doing well with it, they will normally just keep to themselves and reap the benefits. But if someone gets sides effects from medicine that they were taking, then of course they're going to go out and be very vocal about it.

Yea. If you search online, even ibubrofen has side effects and some forums some guys says are very bad....which is not even a prescription drug.

But using for years than suddenly getting sides from nothing? That's so strange.

I think when people say this its more often not related to finasteride, just aging, or something else. Low libido/ED isn't exactly an uncommon problem

getting permanent sides from taking finasteride is not simply some mild age related ed or a slight decrease in libido that happens gradually over time,,,i can tell you from my own experience,,,if things go bad for you on finasteride you will be in a living hell,,,i was 32 when my nightmare started,,,i was a very healthy fit man with a strong libido,,,very hard erections,,,and very sensitive genitals,,,just like every other normal man,,,all this changed in the space of 24 hours,,,one day the side effects just kicked in and have never left me since,,,i am no longer attracted to women in that sexual way,,,i feel nothing,,,i feel tired,,,weak,,,no agression,,,no zest for life,,,no motivation,,,no sexual electricity,,,everything is dead,,,i feel like a shell of the man i used to be,,,the makers of this drug have recently changed their warning label to say that sexual side effects can persist even after stopping the drug,,,yet you lads still deny that anything bad can happen???,,,i admit many do take the drug without any side effects but the thing im trying to get across is that no one knows if or when they will get sides,,,it is a gamble not worth taking,,,i hear people saying oh if i start to feel the sides i will just stop taking it and go back to normal,,,unfortunately for most this is not what happens,,,the sides can hit suddenly out of the the blue and never go away,,,some get them after a few pills,,,some get them after years and years of use......................

My genitals were once sensitive too. They liked to cuddle and write poetry. But that all changes with finasteride.

the makers of this drug have recently changed their warning label to say that sexual side effects can persist even after stopping the drug,,,yet you lads still deny that anything bad can happen???.

The warning was changed based on anecdotal evidence. Clinical data showed more guys on the placebo dropped out of the trials due to sexual sides than the guys actually taking the drug.

The majority of guys aren't denying the fact that anything bad can happen. For the millionth time, it's a prescription drug, yes some will get sides and get screwed up. Unfortunately it happens and I am sorry it happened to you. Just because we refuse to exaggerate the claim of sides like you do doesn't mean we don't acknowledge there is a certain level of risk involved in taking finasteride.

Notcool u are the type of guy that's likes to defend finasteride in every thread , I bet if it screwed you up you would be in every doing the opposite lol

LOL, you seemed to overlook that I also wrote this: "For the millionth time, it's a prescription drug, yes some will get sides and get screwed up."

No I just take responsibility for what I do. Not sure what you did, but I did the research before I started taking finasteride. I read plenty of the potential benefits and drawbacks of taking this drug. I read the information that came with the pills. I spoke with my doctor about it. I made the decision that it is worth taking the risk. If you take any drugs blindly without knowing the risks, then you should be blaming yourself instead of coming on here screaming how finasteride messed you up. You made the decision to take the risk now live with your decision.

 

[Mr Mayhem]

Blah blah blah , u mad? I never screamed anything. U are a pro-finasteride troll opposite of the anti-finasteride ones.the other extremity, both as bad as the other

 

[zerolibido]

the paperwork that came with the propecia which was written by its makers clearly said that any side effects would dissapear after stopping taking the drug or would even dissapear if you continued taking it,,,clearly this drug was supposed to be safe,,,i was not warned by any doctor that it might be unsafe and that it could lead to possible permanent side effects,,,so how could i or any of the thousands of other men who have been ruined by it have made an informed decision to take the propecia or not???,,,the stuff was supposed to be completely safe,,,clearly it is very dangerous judging by the thousands of men around the world suffering permanent sides from it.................

Totally with you on that. The vast majority who didn't get sides and helped their situation might even be worse than the poor sweet innocent fear mongers.

Seriously, **** those guys. They think that- just because there's a 99% chance that users won't get sides -that it gives them a mandate to run willy nilly all over the internet touting finasteride as a "safe drug". Well, I for one say "not on my watch".

I don't even know why we waste time here. Nothing but blue pills, b**ch tits, and floppy weeners!

I have found stuff on this site dating back to 2006 where people were claiming persistent sides, so the information was out there. You just didn't look for it. I don't know what paperwork comes with propecia, so I cannot speak on that, but I know for the generic the paperwork states that persistent sides are a possibility.

Again show me one post where I said you cant get sides from finasteride. Don't waste your time you will not find one.

seems me only like 1/10 of theses people that say finasteride made there dick fall off, or got brain diease. actually got blood work done or tell us there age or lifestyle habits (overweight, ect)

 

[Nadester]

YEAH THAT'S WHAT WE NEED.You just don't come on the door spewing all your theories.You HAVE to put up the whole 9 yards.

 

[zerolibido]

yes i had about 5 different lots of bloodwork done,,,everything came back within range,,,everyone ive spoken to who suffers permanent sides from finasteride has the same story,,,all have had bloodwork done and found nothing,,,whatever it is doesnt show up on a blood test,,,the theory upto now is that it lowers levels of neurosteroids in peoples brains which causes all kinds of different sides,,,unfortunately neurosteroid levels can only be checked by taking spinal fluid as far as i know................

 

[LewisHamilton]

Stay away from Finasteride unless you want to be an impotent castrate!! DHT is essential to make a man a MAN! not a woman! That junk will be banned in a few years
