i started taking propecia around allmost year ago.
after 3 months i had lowered libido on 1mg.
so i went down to 0.5 and stil got sides.
5 months ago i did a stop in propecia for a month and got 70-80 recovered.
but than i did something stupid.
i came back on 0.25 eod.
when i was on 1 mg a day i could still get it on!
now i cant get it on at all.
i quited this friday.
im scared ill loose it forever.
and i reay feel the pain of that guy who killed himsef 2 weaks ago.
atm its realy hard 2 get and erection(for sure i dont have morning wood)
im currenty working out 3 times a weak in the gym (lifting) which i heard is good thing for recovery?
also taking 2 kinds of multivitamin daily that gives me around 40 mg of zinc.
any thing i can do to get recover faster?
finasteride is a nightmare dont be stupid like me and quit when ur morning wood is gone!
edit:
forgot to say. i find it very hard fall a sleep for me when on finasteride.
all the peoples i know say i look tierd.

zinc picolinate 50-100mg 5 days a week.
Vitamin D3 - atleast 1,000iu daily

L-arginine 1000mg daily

is a good start.

Look you have tried it and it didnt work out for you. Get off that crap its not worth the anxiety and stress its causing you. Do you want to go through life feeling like that everyday? If hairloss is really that bad that your willing to damage your body and suffer for it then you need to see a doctor like i did. I quit finasteride due to sides also. I dont regret taking it but i do regret ignoring the signs that its just not working out for me and doing more harm than good. I've nothing against finasteride but its not for everyone. Look at alternative treatments that wont cause you problems.

By the way stopping and starting finasteride and changing doses will also thow your hormones out of wack. It takes time for your body to adjust. It took me two months for my body to go back to normal from quiting finasteride.

follicle84-
you are right.
now i see that.
i think one of the main reasons i didnt quit was because a lot of peoples told me,
"its all in your mind"
"if you think about sides youll get them"
and etc.
im gonna see a doctor like i suggested.
Mens Rea-
ill get into it,
thank you a lot.

i wanted to ask,
when shuold i start a treatment with RU?
shuold i wait few months?
i had great sucsses on finasteride btw.
so great that it made me blind to the sides.

I would wait until you are side effect free from finasteride then go onto Ru that way you wont get confused with which treatment is giving you sides. Also i'd do some research into ru before you buy it. You have to make it into a topical solution yourself and its quite expensive to buy plus oral consumption is ill advised. If you already know all this then i wish you all the best.

quick update:
sides are gone!
im still taking zinc and vitamins.
life without finasteride are a lot better!
im using 4ml a day of liquid topical spironolactone (trying to maintain until i get my ru)
adding muscle mass is easier 2.
i guess im from the "luckier" finasteride useres!
for thos who dont have morning wood, low libido
quit finasteride now!!
it starts with less libido and problems with morning wood.
dont be stupid and quit when this sides starts!
i think what realy helped me is the heavy lifts in the gym. (and the zinc)
hope you wont get through what i did,
jonathan.

Are you sure it isn't all in your head? Side effects with RU are very rare, in fact, I'm not sure if I've heard of anything other than people complaining of headaches.
