Alright guys,
So I've been on proscar 5mg (cut in 4) for 1.5 months now.

After just 1 week on proscar, I already had noticed a decreased in my libido.
I personally always had a rather high sex drive, not having sex for a couples days would drive me crazy. haha, some of you know what I mean.

Well for more than a month, my libido has been pretty much dead.
I mean, I can always get an hardon when I really get into it,

But I don't have that 'urge' for sex anymore, even without having sex for a whole week.
This is kindof sad, considering it also kills the desire to litteraly 'jump' on your girlfriend.

Should this get better with time, or am I stuck with this side effet as long as I take proscar (1.25mg a day).
I was thinking about switching to propecia (which would bring me down to 1mg a day). What your guys thought on the idea.

Thanks for your help guys, it's a bit embarassing to talk about this.

Switching to propecia will not change a thing.
Stick with it, I'm on 1.25mg proscar as well, it took me about 3-4 months to get my libido back up. Give your body time to adjust..
