    Hi

    I had exactly the same problem as you when I 1st took fin and I got immediate side effects. I went to several doctors about the side effects and one of them was very helpful as he had come across it before.

    The 1st thing is DONT panic. You haven't been on fin long enough for it to cause any long term issues.

    Stop taking fin immediately and after 2 weeks you will start getting erections again. After a month you will be 95% back to normal.

    If you want to help things get back to normal a bit quicker then take zinc tablets (about 25mg to 50mg a day for 3 or 4 days), eat healthily, avoid excessive alcohol intake, and exercise. But be warned it does take about 2 to 4 weeks to start getting back to normal and you might not have any improvement in the next 2 weeks - but you WILL get back to normal after 2 weeks as your DHT levels start to recover.

    You can also take Viagra tablets which will help you get erections in the next 2 to 4 weeks and will mean you spend less time panicking about it whilst your body recovers.

    If after 2 or 3 months off fin you want to give it a second shot then I would recommend taking no more than 0.1mg of a tablet every 4 days (bite a tiny amount off the corner of the tablet with your teeth). And then after a few weeks upping it to 0.25mg twice a week. Your body like mine is very sensitive to this drug and so all you need is a tiny dosage spaced days apart.

    I hope this information helps. Try not to panic and good luck!

    That sucks mate.. Check into RU58841, the mechanism is way more efficient than finasteride imo and just as powerful if not more. However you might get side effects on it too. Your options are quite limited though at the moment. Good luck!

    Also note that any untested substance (such as RU) comes with significantly more risks.

    Quit fin for a month or something like that.

    if you want to give it another shoot at a lower dose and try complement w/ epilobium (natural aromatase inhibitor) and zinc.

    I also got sides at 0.5mg in like 3 hours after taking the fisrt pill, left fin for 3 weeks and went back to normal.

    Then I try 0.25mg, my libido was ok but I get some nippels/chest pain.

    Now at 0.25+epilibium+zinc my libido is perfect and my nipples back to normal, try any aromatase inhibitor.

    How long have you been doing this method?
    What is your current dosage?
    What are your results with you hairloss?

    Thanks
