I Got E.d. From finasteride, Should I Just Quit?

[John Burd]

Hi, I started finasteride 4/1/19. I had no side effects until about a month ago. Now it's hard to get an erection. I can masturbate, but I can't get hard during sex or it's hard to keep it. I now think about it too much. I take 1mg of finasteride daily. Should I just stop or can I lower my dosage to like .25mg. Or would stopping until it comes back and then do .25mg, be the best option? Or just stopping forever? I'm weirdly calm about it right now.

You could try lowering the dosis or just sitting it out. Just know, the longer you ignore the problem the chance for it to become permanent. Your call.

Yes, try lowering your dose for a month or two. If it does not get better, quit immediatly.
