Taking the plunge; My Finasteride Progress

[Hurts]

After over a year of ambivalence I've decided to bite the bullet and take finasteride. I will take 0.25mg or 0.5mg per day (still undecided), I will be very weary of sides and discontinue should I encounter any (special attention will be paid to semen quality, I don't want to be infertile).

Some additional details:


The finasteride I'm taking is generic, by an indian company called "Genpharma"
Bought from www.4RX.com (redirected to by gothair.co.uk)




Age: 22
NW: 1-1.5
Condition: Thinning since 18, Shed a lot in the shower
Sex drive: Low libido as no current girlfriend, ejaculation remains at once or twice a week.
Penis size: (Only joking)

Pics will be posted soon (looking for pics of me with short hair)


I have some questions for those who have had 0 side effects, what time of day do you take the drug?

Thanks and wish me luck!

You will need 1.5-2.0mg for first 2 weeks, then down to 1.0mg after that.
Its cheaper to buy Proscar 5mg tablet and split it in 4.
Try www.proscarbaldness.com Cheap and quick with prescription.

I am officially quitting fin as of today. Side effects have gotten extremely bad over the last 3 weeks. Now I'm finding it a challenge to get an erection. I had planned to taper off it but I think I'll quit without any further ado as I don't want to be putting any more of this shit into my body.

My hair seems to have noticeably gotten thicker with the use of fin but not massively, I'll post a recent pic of my hair from the top (my hair is quite long at the moment) in my next post.

The first 3-4 month of using finasteride gave me quite a nice period of not having to worry about my hair or hair loss.

From the 4-5th week of starting fin I was getting very mild side effects (I was doubting whether I was even getting side effects) where my erections were slowly yet progressively getting weaker and not being able to achieve morning erections. I decided to make a compromise and carry on with the drug as i felt this was a rather insignificant side effect.

The side effects are purely sexual. Thankfully it hasn't effected me mentally or physically (other than sexually) yet.

I am now in "recovery mode". I hope I don't "crash" like they all say on propeciahelp.com and recover from this fully. I will update this thread in the coming days/weeks/months regarding my recovery.


PS I'm selling my finasteride pills if anybody wants them, send me a messege. There are still 27 left. Same branding as the ones on the first page of this thread.

Thank you
