Two days of finasteride and already having bad side effects. Will it get better?
I'm just wondering if side effects tend to lessen on finasteride after a period of time? It's really just the sexual side effects I am worried about. I take quarters of 5mg finasteride tablets, so I do end up taking a bit more than the recommended dose. I wonder if I should just pay a bit more money for 1mg tablets of propecia.
I have also been on antidepressants the last 8 years (which I need, there is no alternative) and a lot of my sexual side effects are from that.
Anti depressants (before Finasteride)
- Reduced sensation
- Low libido
- Some loss of sexual function
After finasteride
- Further reduced sensation (maybe 20%)
- Lower libido (20% again)
- Further loss of sexual function (again, 20%)
At the moment I don't really have any spontaneous daily erections, maybe I get 2 or 3 semi-erections.
I AM able to masturbate to pornography and ejaculate to it, no problems there. I wonder if this means I can perform sexually? I don't know.
Anyway I would appreciate some answers to any of these questions. I'm seeing my doc about this after another week.
Regards,
seacat.
