I have to stop taking finasteride.

[Knendell]

I have been taking 1.25mg a day for a few months and erections are too difficult. Anyone have any suggestions before stopping?

Yes, try reducing your dosage to .50, although that might be hard if you already cut into quarters...

p**rn works but it still takes a minute. I am worried with the real deal it will be even worse especially if the lights are off or whatever.

If I go to .5mg how long would I expect to see a change if it were to happen?

you may want to ween off slowly.

sex > hair

I have been stepping the dose down and think I am making a c*m back. Its getting easier to get an erection but still not like before but it has only been a week. I think I will stay on 1/8th of a finasteride tablet a day for a while. I think I have read it is still very effective in that dose.

an eigth of 1mg finasteride or 5mg?

 

[Knendell]

1/8th of 5mg.

I know how you feel man. I was on finasteride for 2 years, trying to convince my self there were no side effects.

During this time I have had a steady girlfriend, so my loss in sex drive I attributed it to being with the same person for a long period of time. I stopped finasteride about 2-3 month ago and let me tell you everything is way more better.

Now I am not saying this is for everyone, but my effects were some what hidden, I mean I could get an erection when I needed to, but I often just didn't feel like having sex. In fact, I would use the "I have a headache".

Anyways I just thought I would let you know. WHen I first started I had similar experiences, I would actually find it difficult to get an erection. People told me to stay on it, and the side effects would disapear. It no longer became difficult, but my Labido was gone.

are you for real or are you spamming?

1/8th of 5mg.

I dropped from 1/5 to slighly less a couple of days ago, maybe 1/7 or 1/8. Going to try it for a couple of weeks and see if this ball ache subsides.

 

[Jm0311]

damn is there anyone????! that doesnt get sides from finasteride? this is discouraging for me

 

[Knendell]

I have gotten much better since dropping to .5mg or so. So I guess I will stay on finasteride and hope for the best.

What Norwood are u?

 

[Knendell]

I am at the point where the front is very thin but can be hid to a certain degree adn diffuse down the center of my head. I think I am a Norwood 3.5ish. Wish I could have known about these things a few years back but if I can keep what I have for a few more years and slow down the progression I will be happy. I don't think rogaine is an option because it would be much worse to lose the hair in a few short months than over a year per say.

 

[Jm0311]

yea im about a Norwood 1.5 or so..i think..trying some topicals out now
