Bad Side Effects Within 3 Days On Finasteride! Help!

[Chris Evan]

I've taked finasteride for 3 days with biotin 10,000mcg
I feel my erection is weaker than before and doesn't last as long as before
My orgasm as well wan't good or strong
but it's weird as well that I actually see a really good improvement at my hair as well
What should I do now? are the side effects gonna keep going worst?
Is it my body adjusting to the new dht levels?
Also I'm using generic finasteride so I can't cut the pill into 2 to reduce the side effects
If I'm going to take it each other day Is it going to be less effective and still working?

While you may see sides quickly, there's no way u can see hair improvement in 3 days.

I see that my thin hair got a lot better actually maybe it's placebo whatever

I actually took finasteride in the past for 1 month and 20 days didn't experience sides but then switched to dutasteride for 2 days in the second day got weak erection and low libdo and bad orgasm
then i stopped after the 2nd day and after stopping for 2 days everything went back to normal, erections were good again, libdo and everything

so do you think my dutasteride story is related maybe to how my body adjust to new dht levels?
also what do you think of taking it eod instead? is it going to be effective in lowering the chance of the side effects and still going to work?
hope you help me, thank you

Just split the pill in half . Even get a cheap electric scale so you can measure each half . Your hair isn’t any different yet - it’s all in your head . I would say use .5mg and see how the sides change / don’t change .

I'd say this is 100% in your head.

I think maybe, I tried to jerk off again to test my self my erections were fine.
maybe the first time was placebo cause of thinking about the side effects

I’m not one to say sh*t is in your head... but on this one, it’s most likely in your head

If you can jerk off but can't get it up with your gf/wife, it's in your head.

Not true. Jerking is a very mechanical way to stimulate the penis. Much more than the actual act of copulating which heavily relies on stimuli (visual, olfactory, sensorial etc.) and, of course libido besides the physical stimulation. Jerking off relies heavily on intense physical (and more often than not visual) stimulation only. A good quality erection should yield strong and lasting erect penis that does not softens during intercourse.

I would not downplay the risk of sides but if you are committed to halting hair loss and willing to take risks then Finasteride seems your best option. While sides may or may not be "in your head" (lasting sides most likely are not in one's head) any results sooner than ~3 months are wishful thinking.

I see what you're saying, it makes sense.
