    Right now, libido is through the roof so are the erections. I wasn't sure if this was because I stopped propecia or if this is natural or if the effects of saw palmetto and beta sisterol are playing a role. So what did happens after the effects wear off? Is libido down to average levels or below average? Did hair loss accelerate?

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

        bought them online at walgreens.com. I noticed a couple weeks ago they sell the beta at my local grocery store so I will be buying there from now on just for convenience.

            it is very most likley the effects of saw pallmetto and beta sis.

            monitor your hairline, shed levels/scalp itching and sebum levels, in the next few weeks, and report back...because you jumped on the saw pal and beta sis it could accelarate your hair loss.

                ED

                I got Claritin and took one, no change. Didn't have guts to take more.. It's a good find indeed, but I will try to find other ways. Going to do a check up on my prostate.

                    Is this a sudden thing that can happen, could I wake up one day and no longer be able to get an erection?

                    or does the erection gradually weaken?

                      Both situations occur. Some men find that the change happens instantaneously where others find that there is a gradual decline.

                        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.

                          To all the side effects naysayers, you might want to listen to this medical professional who did a study.....

                            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.

                                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.
