I took propecia for 2 months am I likely to have sides after taking it?

[asdf1234]

for the first week I took 2mg a day (1x2) and then cut it to 1 a day and then dropped to .5mg a day and then evenually took .5mg twice a week and then stopped. I stopped about 2 months ago. I'm not sure I'd its depression or sides that is causihg my lack of drive. I orgasm maybe once a day on average.. Some days twice and some days hot at all. About a year ago it was about 2-3 times a day (before I took the drug)

Highly highly highly unlikely.

I would like to agree with the above poster, asdf1234, but unfortunately my experience with Propecia (as far as sides go) was, and continues to be an issue. I have been off of it for many months and I still have problems. Some people don't seem to want to believe it, but it must be easy for them to doubt people reporting the sides since they are not. I am beginning to wonder if the number/ percentage of people adversely affected is greater than what is in the reports of those studies Merck quotes.

If you want to talk about it or hear more of my experience with it, PM me or just reply here. Have to admit though, I really do think it was giving me positive results hair-wise...

I personally think 2mg a day is too much, I'm currently on 1mg a day. Some side effects can be stemmed from reading about other's horror stories too, so although it may be hard to do, try to stop reading about them.

I read about a guy who was suing Merck a couple of years ago for ruining his sex life, and they found out he was actually taking 5mg a day, instead of 1mg. His doctor prescribed him 5mg tablets with the instruction to cut them into fives.

1 mg is too much, 2 is dissaster

yep and the kicker is i already have pelvic floor dysfunction so im off of it for the forseeable future. im currently paying for physical therapy to resolve pelvic pain right now and this stuff is known to possibly tighten the pelvic floor. please feel free check my other threads on other matters as im pretty concerned and havent seen one of my questions asked here before.

My doctor prescribed me to take one 5mg tablet a day, if I hadn't of been more informed he would have ruined my life.

Any dosage above 1mg inhibits roughly the same amount of DHT. During the trials for Proscar, people were given upwards of 50mg (IIRC) daily for weeks and they didn't have any issues. There is no overdose or toxicity risk with this drug. You would probably die from the fillers in these pills before the actual medication had any additional negative effect on your system. Many people take 5mg for hair loss, and tens of millions of men worldwide have taken 5mg for BPH over the last 20 years. In terms of effect, both dosages are essentially the same.

Where would you get 2mg from? As far as I know, Propecia only comes in 1mg (and 5mg for Proscar).
