    oh FFS I do wonder why I am taking this stuff.

    Was talked into it by people on here. Not sure why ppl promote something that can cause your **** to die.

    Reporting back.... Im approaching the 5 month mark on beta sis and SP. Around the 3rd month, I had some major shedding that lasted for about 2 or 3 weeks. I thought within weeks or a couple months I would be completely bald at the rate my hair was falling out. I work on a computer all day and when I looked down at the keyboard, there would literally be hundreds of strands of hair there by the afternoon. Really had me freaked out and I almost stopped taking this combo. No matter what, I wasn't going to take propecia again so I figured just ride this out and see what happens. Now, i'm around the 5 month mark and I believe I still have the same amount of hair as I did when I stopped taking propecia 5 months ago. The one thing I find odd is about a month ago, I have all these gray hairs popping up everywhere. Not just in the temples, but on the top of my head. I'm not sure if this is a side effect or if these are new hairs regrowing without any pigmentation. (wishful thinking). I'm only 32 and never saw a gray hair on my head till a few weeks ago. Maybe it's natural, but the timing seems odd. And as far as erections go, I can't tell you how glad I am that I stopped taking propecia. In hindsight, I realize that erections were never at 100% when I took propecia. Going soft during sex was common and probably happened around a 3rd of the time. Not one time have I experieced this since I've stopped taking propecia.

    Hi guys. I wanted to give my 2 cents. I have been taking propecia for over a year. the hair loss stopped a lot. but I developed gynecomastia on 1 side of the chest and started the second. I didn't no it was a side effect. the doctor didn't know either and dismissed it at 1st. I stopped taking it. If this can happen there is no way I want a sexual side effect. I'm only 29. Going to try other alternatives. its disheartening because it was working. such is life. health is more importment remember that folks.

    Default Scared

    Dont know if anyone still reads this but im here so people stil might.
    Been on propecia for 2.5 months only sides i had was semen was a bit watery and balls ached for a few days, ive had no issues getting strong erections or maintaining them until yesterday when i was watching some porn and wasnt really getting a strong erection. Now today i cant even get an erection which has never happened to me before now. Its like a switch has been flicked it was that fast. Needless to say im really really scared and upset at the moment, im not going to take propecia anymore. Im praying and hoping that this is very temporary as i dont know what i ll do if it isnt.
    Im 29 years old by the way and also i think propecia may be causing me to have heart palpitations as it pretty much started after i started taking propecia.
    It did bring back some of my hair to a level i was happy with but id give it up instantly to be my old self again.
    Its still early days but im just scared that ive ruined my life, im even about to start dating the girl of my dreams and now dont know what im going to do.
    I ll try to update what happens to me but this is to also help people who are conflicted whether to take propecia or not, id say dont do it, just not worth it.

    Default update on scared

    Ok i got a boner this morning so thats a bit of a plus, id say it was about 85% of what it normally is.
    Ive fully been scared off propecia im not going to use it again, rather have a D that works than hair.
    So gonna go cold turkey and throw the rest of the propecia away, hopefully i ll be back to normal really soon and have no relapse or what people have been describing as a crash.
    I ll try to keep this thread updated for others to read.

    Still updating.
    Watching porn still doesnt really get me a real erection the way it did like a week ago, manual stimulation is needed to get there or there about. I think the load of my semen is less than what it notmally was .
    Erection probably stil 85% so not the best, still necer gonna touch propecia again and im going to by some vitamins that aid production of testosterone because i lnow for a fact it wasnt a mental issue at least to begin with.
    Now everytime i try to get an erection i worry can i get one or will i get one so that might be effecting me now to be honest. Hopefully the day will come where i just get a raging boner without thinkig about it, hopefully one day soon.
    Gotta stay positive i guess.

    Default update scared

    Ive just realised that ive taken propecia for 3.5 months not 2.5. O forgot about the first months prescription i was only counting what i had in my 3 month prescription. So was on it longer than what i thought, so potentially done more damage to myself that what i first realised.
    I can get boners from watching certain porn so that seems to he working again, erections might be at 85-90% but not rock hard. It probably depends upon how excited i get, it would probably be really hard if i had a lady friend here lol but until then i guess i wont fully know.
    Scared for what may still come as the crash that people have talked about but ive also read many stories of people noticing ED problems and stopping straight away and having the problems go away in a few weeks. I stopped the instant i realised my erections was in trouble so hopefully i caught it in time but if i havent then sure enough that would just be my luck as im an unlicky person most of the time.
    I know i keep updating but its sort of for myself as well so that i can document what happened to me as well as warning others so i hope i wont have to keep updating this for much longer and everything goes back to normal, fingers crossed.

    Update on whats happenening so far. Things seem to be heading back to normal as of right now, morming wood has returned and i can start to get boners bybjust thinking of sexual things which wasnt the case a few days back. So hopefully i keep improving and again i ll never touch propecia again for as long as i live.

    Hi Cantbelieveit, I think I'm in the same boat as you, if not worse. Been on it four months with no sides. Last saturday I tried to rub one out to no avail. I kept taking the drug till Monday and I've had two boners since then, both times to watching porn early in the morning. My libido is non existent and I couldn't get it up to porn this morning. I'm extremely worried right now as my energy levels are steadily decreasing also and I can barely get out of bed for prolonged periods of time. I'll let you know how I go.
