severe ED after only 6 days of 1mg finasteride

[roy1]

Hey everyone,

I’m 36 years old. I took 1mg finasteride for 6 days and I went from having a high sex drive and frequent, firm erections to completely losing my libido entirely and being unable to get an erection. On day 6, the head of my penis went completely numb. That freaked me out and I stopped taking it that day.

It’s now been 2 weeks since I stopped but the side effects persist. It’s really concerning.

Has anyone here had a similar experience but fully recovered over weeks or months? I could use some positive anecdotes, as the internet is full of negative anecdotes that are currently scaring the crap out of me.

Thanks.
