I Stopped finasteride / Propecia Side Effects With L-arginine!

[dotsona]

Hey Guys,

I have great news, and I am sure this is not new to all but I thought I would share anyway. I have had finasteride sides for awhile (2 years to be exact), low ibido, low semen, unable to keep erections going etc. I could still get erections they were just weak and sex just didn't feel as good.

However I recently learned about l-arginine (the vitamin) and holy crap its amazing. I have 0 sides now, and some of the best erections of my life! I just take 1000mg a day (in the morning) and finasteride at night (Why you ask? To me its like tricking my brain because I think alot of sides are placebo effect). Now this might be a placebo effect I am not sure, but I have read that l-arginine has been called "natures v****" and I must say its pretty awesome. I was at the point of giving up finasteride but I have now completely done a 180. I just thought I would share that.

Best,
Andrew

Don't you think fighting off symptoms with a supplement is a bad idea? it won't stop the long term damage being done to your body.

Not really, its found naturally in the body and is pretty safe. I think alot of finasteride sides are from the placebo effect to be honest. I know there is alot of debate on that but the studys showed the 2 percent taking the finasteride sugar pill also had sides (and 2 percent on real finasteride had sides) so im not to worried. Its not that I couldnt have sex before but this vitamin really enhanced it. Whether or not its placebo or real I dont care, I just know its working for me.

I know all about L-arginine, i used it in the past to help the impotence finasteride has left me with.

Generally, dimming down symptoms with any other supplement/ drug is a bad idea if the route cause can be treated. The root cause in your case is using finasteride.

Everyone knows that the Merck studies are bullshit. I am sure that placebo does play a part in side effects that some men experience ON the drug but that doesn't explain the hundreds of men that are suffering horrific problems OFF the drug.

Have you seen that Merck have updated the labeling to account for PERSISTENT erection problems?

Have you seen the suicides? have you seen the new study on persistent side effects? do you think they are placebo?

I will say though in that document it says reported side effects (which isnt really based on clinical or scientific data) I am guessing they were pressured to add that based on all the reports on propecialhelp.com

In regards to cancer 53 men out of (most likely) millions of men who use finasteride were found to have breast cancer which isnt statistically significant (also these men were on 5mg finasteride)

Do I think the prolonged sexual sides you are talking about are real? Yes I believe they are but I still think it is a small number of men compared to the amount that use finasteride world wide safely.

I agree. Do what you have to do. Good luck.
