    Default First three days on finasteride

    Hi everyone,
    Just got on finasteride on doctors recommendation. Suggested to get 5mg and split in half and take mon wed Fri. I felt a bit anxious about side effect but dr seemed confident.
    I got to chemist and this checkout girl starts giving me anxiety; she kept asking if I'm sure I want to do this and if I had concerns or if I was aware about the side effects and that I could be impotent. I just ignored her to the best of my ability.

    I split the pill and had 2.5mg.

    Like twenty minutes later my heart starts racing for like a minute and I start feeling funny and zoning out watching videos. I ignored all this and five hours later or so tried to see if everything was working down there.

    It took a long while to get it up and I felt like I had lost a bit of erection strength and ended with ow ejaculate volume with watery consistency. Balls started feeling itchy too. Sleep that night was a bit disrupted and I was having a bit of lucid dreaming.

    Second day morning I try to wack one off and I could still ejaculate but still low ejaculate and seemed a bit watery. I told myself to keep busy and I went about my day. Had itchy balls still. Felt like I was struggling to get turned on by attractive girls. At night I tried to wack another one and I seemed to struggle to get it up with my hands but i was able to get off to porn but I still felt erection wasn't 100% and minimal ejaculate.

    Third day, decided that I'm going to only take 1/4 of the 5mg dose. Took it and didn't think much. Felt better throughout day was able to get turned on by a few girls. Came home and wacked off without porn, but ejaculate was just watery. Still itchy balls. I feel like I might stick with 1/4 dose and see my doc later.

    I know most of this is in my head and I'm just just thinking things. And probably other factors like lack of sleep and physical exertion that could be contributing to my erections But I was wondering whats normal to expect and feel on this journey. Any tips. I Have a paranoid personality it's ridiculous.

    Cheers,

    My glans went completely numb after 6 days of 1mg/day. Also no libido and complete ED.

    And I had absolutely no concerns about the side effects going in so it definitely wasn’t just in my head.

    It’s important not to exaggerate the dangers of side effects but it’s also important not to dismiss them when men report them.

    It’s been two weeks since I stopped taking it and I am hoping my sides will resolve over the course of the next weeks or months.

    Try adding Horny Goat Weed and zinc will help with sides effects. You could try Topical Finasteride as that’s what I use, less to 0 side effects.

    Check here Topical Finasteride:
