Concerns about Propecia and permanent erectile dysfunction..

[Lewis Hamilton]

I read about that too. I think it's either BS, or a select few guys are just super unlucky and have one hell of a bad reaction to the drug. All I know is that the dermatologist that gave me my prescription said those reports are overblown.

In my personal experience as a 20 year old, my libido/ erectile function has remained unchanged, except for a week-long dip at the very beginning.....and I'm fairly convinced that was just a placebo effect from all the fear mongering....I was very nervous.


but then again I have only been taking 1/4 - 1/5 tablets Proscar (depending on how much time I want to invest in cutting the damn pill) every other day.

I also do 5% minox every other night on the same days I take my pill, and Nizoral 1%
........nearly 3 months into this combo and I can confidently say my hair loss is slowing ....so if your like me (not visibly balding yet...as far as I can tell) maybe you should consider taking it every other day. Hell, maybe every three days.

your cost AND risk of sides should go down....

With all due respect there are many factors. The basics are these: the younger you are the less the side effect systemically and cumulatively as a)you've had less time on it as you're young, and b) the human body is far better at recovering say in its 20's versus its40's. It's also well known that men start to lose available testosterone once they get over 35 (hence sales of Viagra etc).

Anyway, the side effects are real and they will wreck your life.

Disregard my advice at your peril.

And before loads of morons come on slating me as a scaremonger I should point out I used Propecia for over 12 years and have had extensive endocrine and other tests, so I know what I'm talking about.

Your right Chrisis it's not easy lol? I was thinking the same thing about the 1mg but it's cheaper this way so I went with it.

If you've shown ANY sides get off asap. Even if you think its improving.

It's a ticking timebomb.
