Propecia Killed my Erection

Did you get better optic eye?

Dr Dan,

I've been on Propecia for 11 yrs and within the last year or two started experiencing lower libido, weaker erections, etc. Be only 35 yrs. old I thought this was too early to be an age related problem and figured it had something to do with the long term usage of propecia. I spoke to my doctor about the issues I was having and he suggested we do some blood work to see if my testosterone was normal. It ended up coming back a little low so he prescribed a low dosage of Axiron(test gel) to help get me back to where I need to be. It's been a week now and I feel incredible! My libido is coming back, my mood is improved, and I have energy again.

At this point in my life I wasn't ready to give up the propecia since it has worked well for me and I've been able to keep a majority of my hair. My question for you is will taking the test gel effect the propecia in a negative way? Since the gel is being applied to the skin will it produce DHT and in turn get to my head? I know propecia is a DHT blocker but will it block whatever is bring applied to my skin. I don't think my doctor would have prescribed it to me if it wasn't safe but in your opinion does this program okay?

Thanks for any info you might have on this subject.

I have been using finasteride for 1.5 years , I used propecia for 6months and then Finpecia. Except the lack of results regarding my hair, no problem with sex.

Propecia Sexual dysfunction cure

Use the link above and see for yourself. Claritan (Loratadine) has been clinically determined to solve erectile dysfunction in men. I suffered from sexual dysfunction for many years after discontinuing propecia and stumbled upon this by accident. I tried Claritan for an allergy and the next day I noticed that I had regained full erectile function. Try it please and never give up hope.

Good bump! I think more people suffering from sexual sides from finasteride use should try loratadine and see if they in any way resolve.

I was on propecia for about 5 years and I would've swore I had no side effects. 75% of the time i could perform no problem, and the times i couldn't, I blamed limpness on tiredness. Now, 2 months later and off of propecia, I realize I hadn't performed at 100% for years!! I'm 32 and I swear i feel like a teenager again. It only took about 5 days off of propecia to notice the difference. I've been taking a combo of Beta Sisterol and Saw Palmetto complex and so far so good. Still early but I haven't noticed any additional hair loss.

Could you clarify what you mean when you say that you feel like a teenager again? i.e. you've come of propecia and sides have subsided?

Did you buy your SPC and beta sis online, or local?
Thanks

this increase is due to the saw palmetto and beta sis.

in the coming weeks monitor your hairline, and libido, i suspect it to drop around the 2nd or 3rd month.

The first month i took saw palmetto, I felt like I was 15 again too. It was insane the first month. Then things went back to normal. But in my case the SPH cause my thing to sky-rocket the first month.
