0.5mg Propecia for 3 days... Side effects?

[Xafegh]

Hi,

Last week I started taking propecia.

I had 1mg tablets but I cut them in half and took 0.5mg a day instead.

I immediately started feeling a bit negative towards the drug and immediately started to not be able to get an erection. I wasn't feeling too keen for sex and seemed to just feel totally off sex.

I had done a lot of reading and thought I should stop taking the drug (after only 3 days of 0.5mg) and hopes thigs would be fine.

Now a week later, I'm still not getting a full erection . I took a girl home the other night and I was turned on and things were working, but still not to the max.

I wake up most mornings with an erection, but this week they haven't been at... How should I put it.. Full strength.

I'm just a bit worried. Almost 99% this is just my mind playing tricks on me becaue I took so little propecia for such a short period of time.

Just wanting some advice to help my worries and wondering how quick sides would be there before going away.

Oh wut, I dunno but 3 days... kinda makes me think it's in your head.

Yeah I agree,

Just wanted to know how long sides would take to go away usually?

As i say, I was with a girl the other night and it was in working order, like I could get an erection but I think it was in my mind that I was thinking that it wasnt properly there.

Your DHT levels do start to lower after 3 days, so it could be caused by the medication. However, there's also a good chance it's in your head as well.

Keep in mind that side effects tend to be the worst up front, like within the first month or so. After that, your body copes with the changes in hormone levels and will usually return to normal.

As I say I'm sure it's in my head but it freaked me out a little so that's why I stopped taking them so soon.

it not in your head. stop immediately!

I'm still having side effects. I took the pill for 16 days and I quit over half a eyar ago. Still severe ED and no libido at all.
