    The one medication I believe may be effecting my hair is Trazadone. I have discontinued using it. I have now encountered a new even more concerning problem and was hoping for some insight. I have been taking finasteride for maybe half a year and a couple of days ago I realized my erection was and continues to not be at 100%. This is concerning because of all the horror stories. I have decreased my dose from 1mg to .5. Will this still be as effective and should I be concerned about "permanent" side effects? I strongly do not want to discontinue taking it and if these side effects are indeed permanent, why stop taking it now. This may not sound rational, but that is how I feel. Thank you all for your replies and hopefully someone can help with my new mpb issues.

    You can't totally blame the fin for this problem but on the other hand it could be part of it..Really hard to say...(NPI) I would probably do what i did and stay on the 1mg fin but just get some Cialis-works like none other. That way you can maybe have hair and erections both...start with an 8th of a pill and titrate upwards from there.

    I always wonder why more guys don't use Cialis when they develop weak erections from fins. I haven't tried it yet because the prescription I got was $230 for 6 pills, maybe that's why. As far as the OP guy goes with the streaks in his hair, I would be concerned too. No one seems to have any ideas as to why, but could it be the hair cutter messed up? IDK

    Markusbc, did you also notice your erections were weaker than usual and continued using fin? If so did they continuously get weaker or did the weakness remain the same if that makes sense?

    Thanks

    Why are you coming HERE for medical advice? Talk to your doctor!!! You are on other meds... so there could be adverse side effects... TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR!

    I have talked to two different doctors about both issues. Many doctors do not specialize in finasteride or hairloss, even dermatologists. I want to get as much information on the topic as I can through as many perspectives as possible.

    So what did these doctors say about the streaks on the back of your head?

    I don't know if you're taking trazodone for sleep or as an anti-depressant however I would suggest speaking to your doctor regarding discontinuing trazodone if you haven't already.. Stopping it all together is not the best for your mental health. Hair loss is not a side affect of this medication.

    I stopped using finasteride because I was getting sexual side affects. My interested in sex was low and my erections weren't as strong.

    So you won't tell us what these doctors said about the streaks in your hair? But you'll ask a bunch of strangers on this site? I think you just got a bad hair cut and now you found something else to harp about. You do have issues...
