I have had decreased sexual drive since I started taking propecia 3 years ago. It is there but decreased. Erections are not as easy or as hard as before. I need to add that I had a heck of a drive and although in my 30s I could go 4 times in a row frequently, no exaggeration.
Less semen. Also watery and less white. It has gotten better than when I started. It took a good 9 months to recover from the initial shock.
In any case about a year ago I successfully switched from propecia to ¼ proscar. Nothing to it. Everyone should do this to save money. I did not loose hair as a result.
Then about 5 month ago I started experimenting with reducing the dose to reduce the side effects. I first started cutting the proscar to 6 pieces. That went quite well. No problems. Sexual drive improved slightly. 2 months ago I started cutting propecia to ¼ pieces. Definite improvement in sexual drive and semen. I am still not where I was before I started taking this but close enough. There might have been a slight reduction in my hair at top of my head. So now I am on 1/3 propecia. I will soon switch to proscar and go to 1/10 pieces (need the sharpest knife you can get) or even 1/12 if I can cut it that small. It appears that the right balance for me is somewhere between ½ to 1/3 mg where I get minimal side effects but also get the benefit.
I am experimenting to find the right balance. I theorize that if I have had the sexual side effects chances are that I do not that high a dose. After all the 1mg dose was as result of simple experimentation and certainly different people respond differently.
Anyone else experimenting with this?
