Packing in the fin...
So after around 5 & half months of being on finpecia , I've decided I need to quit this stuff , I want to be able to feel like a man again , when I first read up about propecia I read the horror stories , I'm not saying mine are terrible but something is not right and its due to what I'm taking.
Reasons for quitting -
Have virtually stopped Wanking just don't feel the need ?
No erections through-out the day
Urinating an awful lot , which is proving a pain at work.
No sex drive
I've been dosing at .5mg everyday when I wake up , My hair still looks the same only thing it may have done is stopped me from loosing hair , I never went through a shed which was good. Now I have a few questions -
Can I stop cold turkey ?
do you think i will shed a lot of hair ?
Is there any thing I should take to bring my body back to normal ? I'm currently working out at the gym 4 times a week
I'm still using Regaine foam and Nizoral and will continue to as these prove to be effective enough , I spoke to my doctor earlier today & he has also said to me to come off it , I will have a blood test in a few weeks to see what's going on with my hormones , he also spoke of spiro saying it was very good ?
Thanks guy your input would be much appreciated ...

Hi Benson
If you have decided to come off the drug, you could try reducing your dosage, to taper off and minimise negative effects. I would speak to an IAHRS doctor to advise you. Sorry it didn't work out. Would you consider Rogaine, Laser Therapy, PRP,etc?

I think i'll quit it soon too. My dicks just not as strong anymore and It's getting worse. I'm concerned.

if i were you, lower your dosage by half in week 1, then take one every other day for another week, then one every 2 days for another week, and slowly come off it.

Guys,
For the record I want to post my experience with starting Propecia 3 years ago now..
Started a few months before I turned 22 then started with weak side effects about 3-4 months in such not really feeling the urge to wank,no morning erections, and my ejaculation seemed a bit weaker. But I was so shit scared of going bald that I didn't care and told myself that they were just my body adjusting to the drug. A couple of months later and my sex drive was booming again and everything was back to normal. Now..3 years later Ive had a hair transplant and Propecia not only thickened my existing hair but I havn't lost any hair since and still feeling strong. Now I get laid alot
So if it means as much to you as it did to me I would maybe hold on until month 7-8 then if sides worsen wean off it.
Good luck

Thanks alot man, yeah I did want to point out actually that a positive, fighting mindset is what I thought, brought me through. Although I can understand it feels impossible to achieve such a state when someone is so depressed. Have faith guys.. Happy new year

Its poison, it gave me horrible side for the 11 months i used it.
0 sex drive
testicle atrophy
half ass erections
tender nipples
Its been a year since Ive been off the med, and I feel way better, My sex drive is up and down, but thats normal. Im able to wake up with the morning erections again. It took about 5 months for the sides to actually go away. I used Viagra a few times, I honestly feel it kick started my erections again. I no longer take the little blue pill, as it is not needed. I will never touch propecia again.
