I am 38 year old. I have been married I think nearly 15 years. My sex drive was what I considered to be normal. Normally 2 or 3 times a week. Anyway, I started using Proscar about 3 months ago, and I had read about Finasteride effecting men's sex drive etc. However, taking Proscar did not have any "noticeable" change in my sex drive". So anyway, I wanted to get the best result that I can from HT, so I decided I might as well go for the best "Propecia". I have now been using propecia for about 2 weeks I think. As far as I can see it has started effecting my sex drive, and ability to maintain if you know what I mean. Normally maintaining for me has never been an issue. I did not believe going from Proscar to propecia would have such a big effect. By the way as a side note, I am also using Regaine.
I have decided to stop using both propecia and proscar from tomorrow as I have already used today. I would have just liked to continue with Proscar. However, I am not a scientist, and I don't know what is causing this effect. On the one side, I want to just go back to Proscar, but another side of my just says to stop both completely. Losing sex drive will have a big effect on my marriage so i can't risk it.
I am looking for feedback from people who have used both. I am not here to scare monger. I know with most people propecia has no ill effects etc. However, something has had an effect on me, and only thing that I can think of is moving from Proscar to propecia.
Any good constructive advice is really welcome, especially from anyone who has switched brands like me. What I don't understand is, they both contain Finasteride, how can one have an effect and another not! Also, when I was using Proscar, there could have been so many other variables. I am lost. I am not sure what to do.
