I have been taking finasteride for two weeks or so. I noticed decreased libido and erectile dysfunction almost immediately just as you did. Even though it hasn't returned to pre-finasteride levels, my libido has partially returned already. Whether it will fully return remains to be seen. My understanding is that such side-effects do go away for many men eventually as the body adjusts (maybe after a month, maybe two), although for some it does not.
I would stick with it for at least a month to see how it goes. To be honest, I found decreased libido to be a bit refreshing. My mind isn't constantly being bombarded with thoughts of sex. On the negative side, it can make life less exciting.
