    Default Increased Sex Drive from Finasteride?

    First off, I apologise to any guys that have experienced decreased libido after finasteride. I understand this post is something that might frustrate you. But I feel like I need to ask this because I really do feel like finasteride had an increased effect on my sex drive. And to be honest, the fact that finasteride is affecting my sex drive is quite concerning to me. I'm thinking that if the drug has the capacity to increase sex drive, maybe it has the capacity to decrease it too?

    I'm really curious has anyone else experienced increased sex drive from finasteride? I've been taking finasteride for 2 years now. I remember the very first week I took it I got absolute concrete erections - erections so hard that I really felt like the drug was the reason for it. About 2 months ago, I woke up with an erection that wouldn't go away. Even after masturbation the erection wouldn't go away (which was incredibly concerning at the time). This had never happened to me before.

    I really hope I don't receive a torrent of abuse here, but has anyone experienced harder erections/increase sex drive after using finasteride?

    Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

    I have been on fin since december 2016 and have in my opinion had a raised libido since then, but it can also be in my head. This whole ordeal with hairloss is very stressfull and jerking off is a way to lower stresslevels. Safe to say is also that after approx 13 months on fin my hair has continued to detoriated, guessing i have had an upregulation, but i will probably never be sure, and i will probably continue with fin hoping i will reap some kind of benefit in the future.

    How is your hair currently and compared from the start?

    Thanks for the reply!

    Sorry to hear fin hasn't helped you out as much as you would have liked. To answer your question, I think my hair is pretty much the same now as it was 2 years ago when I first started taking fin. My hair might be just very slightly thicker, but not by much. I didn't really regrow that much hair, fin has mainly helped me from losing more hair. My main problem is my receding temples, and fin didn't regrow any of that. But like I said I think it's slightly thickened up my hair. And fin has definitely halted further hair loss as my hair hasn't changed in 2 years.

    All in all my fin experience has been positive.

    That is because it increases testosterone, it will diminish with time. But I take testosterone with propecia to avoid decreased lubido

    I am feeling the same dude. I have a really ... crazy sex drive rightn now, and I think it has to be due to finasteride. I have been taking it for the last couple of weeks, and since the last week I am like a sex addict, I do not see anything besides boobs asses and so on and so forth. I have to watch sooo freaking much porn and masturbate very much as I do not want to look like an addict in public. Actually, I have already browsed all the top onlyfans creators accounts and I can tell you that it is even better than porn.
