Propecia Killed my Erection

[Manochoice]

Too bad the the original poster didn't come back to update on his situation. I'd be so curious. I hope everybody else recovered from sides. It's interesting that almost every drug meant for hair loss has the possibility of killing one's sexual drive and boners (finasteride does, RU seems to do it, dutasteride, beta sitosterol, even SP could do)... what shitty options...

[jacknap]

I used topical fin for about a month at a low dosage, and some RU for about 2 weeks.

Just within that short period, I developed gyno and delivered a blow to my libido. Luckily, after dropping the pills, my libido somewhat recovered (still not where I used to be).

It's been about 1.5-2 years since I quit, and I'm still not back to 100%. I feel very lucky that I still get morning wood and can pop an erection if I have to (sometimes have to warm up a bit). And my ejaculate is still not as full as it used to be (not as watery as when I was using the pills).

Has anyone here seen a doctor and got some advice from them regarding usage?
Any positive stories about improvement due to treatments?

Thanks

hey dude I crashed from using ru58841 myself. MY libido is still not back to normal 1.5 years later. Recovered about 50% from absolute nothing? I post on swole source so make an account an message me there cause I doubt I'll remember to check this site. I'm doing cdnuts protocol which he used to recover from post finasteride syndrome. It helps but having another RU crash guy along for the ride would be cool cause I do get paranoid since I crashed from RU not fin.

Is your libido back to normal? For me remaining sides are often I can't stay asleep like I used too, my face is a bit puffier than it used too, libido is not that high and I don't get aroused as easily. And a slight twitch on my right jaw. If you look at my thread on swole source I say my exact story and what not about it.

Long story short + sharing the experience :There is no set time when a man should ejaculate during sex. But it’s probably too soon if you have an orgasm before intercourse or less than a minute after you start. It’s a problem because when you ejaculate you lose your erection and can’t continue having sex. You and your partner may feel there’s not enough time to enjoy it. It’s a common issue for men. I am personally have checked a bunch of mediCations, mediTations, sessions with a psychologist - and finally, last Friday, have found the thing priligy https://worldpharm365.com/product/pr...-with-bitcoin/ - now the sheriff has back in town, fellas!

Dear Aznstan,
Great question. The truth is that all the hair on your head is going to be affected to one degree or another by the presence of DHT.
The donor hair we use for transplant should not be affected to any great degree such that it would not grow. Having said that though when you look at the donor hair region of a patient who uses propecia you can't argue with the fact that the hair in its caliper size(shaft size) gets bigger.
So the use of propecia in a hair transplant is twofold really, protecting the existing hair and helping to thicken up the donor hair which of course will translate into a better cosmetic result with the transplant.

Hope this helps,

Dr Dan

I had transplants and when I later started taking propecia, not only did the transplanted hairs grow better but also the hair remaining in my donor area covered my scalp better.

nice man! did u do anything in particular to recover?

Well at first i obviously panicked so stopped taking propecia the instant i realised i wasnt quite right. Then spent the next 2-3 weeks taking vitamins to help with production of testosterone and libido. Think i migjt have put what i tool in my original posts. Apart from that i didnt nothing else apart from worry and cry a good few times lol. It just came back to me naturally like the one night i just knew something had clicked back to normal and things were back on track . Honestly mate if there was anything i did to help myself i would share it in a instant cause having a dick that dont work because of propecia is no joke. Also i think a bit of the problem at least for me probably 5% of the problem became mental like constantly thinking about it and thinking i cant get a boner just didnt help me. Dont get me wrong the issue was propecia but overthinking didnt help me. So 95% propecia and 5% mental but only after propecia ****ed me up if you understand me. Im the type of guy that can just kiss my girlfriend and instantly get turned on, watching porn as well but when i had my crash if thats what people call it i couldnt even get mildly aroused watching shit loads of porn ( i didnt have a gf at this point). But yeah possibly my saving grace was telling a friend about it so someone knew what i was going through and just working, if i didnt have a job i probably would of been toast because too much thinking is not a good thing when left alone for long periods of time.
Anyway have a read and reply, i ll come back and try to answer any questions u boys might have.
Gotta spread the positive vibes because if it helps but 1 person i ll be happy cause there wasnt any positive posts out there when i was struggling. Best wishes lads, i ll be back.

My experience wasn't as severe as yours, but over the course of taking propecia for a couple of years, I did notice a decrease in my libido/drive, the strength of my erections, and a major decrease in frequency in morning wood.... After a bunch of back and forth and wrestling with whether or not I should continue taking the medication, I finally stopped... Within a month, things turned back to normal - my erections cooperate with me just how I would like for them to, and I consistently wake up with an erection over half the time. I understand the risk of propecia is small and for many guys it's a life saver in terms of helping them save their hair/confidence, which is why the decision to take or not take it really is a personal decision that differs for every single one of us.

So, its kinda Viagra alternative?

Use the link above and see for yourself. Claritan (Loratadine) has been clinically determined to solve erectile dysfunction in men. I suffered from sexual dysfunction for many years after discontinuing propecia and stumbled upon this by accident. I tried Claritan for an allergy and the next day I noticed that I had regained full erectile function. Try it please and never give up hope.

You may try my trick I use to maintain rock hard erections after 11 years of using Proscar.
You MUST masturbate at least once a day! Your mind will subconsciously keep the erection going, especially if you masturbate first thing in the morning it will help you keep that morning glory!

I have noticed decrease in thickness of my load however recently I started using Menevit and it seems it has increased the thickness of my sperm, but Im still monitoring. That also could be normal with age. Im 40.

I am however less sensitive and can take if I want 2 hours of ****ing without cumming, however some guys may find that good I actually would not mind beeing able to cum faster in most situations if you get what I mean.

Perhaps try start using Proscar again and monitor your errections by above discipline and see how you go. It worked for me.

[CanadianGuy]

Yes, it was fascinating to me that after 3 days of taking the 1.25mg Proscar dosage that the testicular shrinkage occurred. Even crazier, and thank the gods it happened, that about a week after stopping it the rush of hormones came back over a 48 hr span and the erections were vicious and plentiful like when I was an athlete in high school.

Stem cells are without a doubt the future to ending baldness, we'll see if Kyocera and the others can make good on their aggressive 2020 timeline.

Update

just stopping by for a quick update, everything is normal with me no ed or any problems like that. Think ive been back to normal for 5-6 weeks now and no more heart palpitations as well.
Hair does look thinner but hey what u gonna do, id rather my dick work than a good head of hair.
Hope everyones good and i might stop by again to see if anyone updates.
Just to clarify i stopoed propecia and took sides 3-4 weeks to properly go away.

[Cantbelieveit]

Im glad that ur getting better coppersocks, sucks that u feel that ur having such highs then the sides comeback a bit. It does sound like ur on the mend though, im still going strong i feel that im back to normal now but still dont wanna jinx myself.
Still having some heart palpitations but they seem to be calmingvdown a bit.
Id say just keep doing what ur doing mate and hitting the gym might work, its meant to up ur testosterone.
Look forward to ur reply and hopefully it ll be a better one.
I ll be back to post again.
P.s Inbrugge ive not seen a doctor about anything so im sorry but im no help with ur question mate, hopefully we ve started the thread back up again so it mightbbring in new people who may be able to answer ur questions. Best of luck pal.
