Hey,

So I'd been taking finasteride for a few years and despite having ED problems I'd kept taking it, partly due to vanity and partly due to not having anyone stable gf wise so I would just take 1/2 a kamagra when needed.

However, I got the kick a few weeks ago so am now 100% off finasteride for 2 weeks and counting, except 1 small dose I took last week to help the weening off process.

I'd been taking 1mg Propecia, then 1mg generic proscar (5mg cut into 1/5ths), then roughly 0.2mg (basically the proscar cut into as small big as I could get it!).

I also use Nizoral 2% once or twice a week, leaving it to sit for 20 mins or so. I used to take loads of ED supplements like zinc, maca, l-arg, horny goat weed etc but stopped b/c, like I said, I didn't have anyone regular so would just 1/2 green pill dose when it was time to go.

Now I've stopped finasteride I'm struggling to find what a good regime for me would be so please can anyone help me out here. As I said, I quit finasteride b/c of ED side effects, basically without constant direct stimulation I'd lose it, so I don't want to take anything that's going to hit my ED, I want that to return to normal, fingers crossed, so don't want to take anything that might interfere with that.

The problem is I don't know what to take, let alone what to take that won't cause ED/libido sides.

Can anyone please help me out here. I'm in the UK btw.

I might re-start taking some of my vitamins (beyond the multi vit I currently take) just to give my body a nutrition kick in this post-finasteride age it 's entering. I've got things like Vit C, D, E, Iron, fish oils, zinc, ginko, st j's wart. etc. Not got any L-arg might pick some of that up again. I think I was also taking MSM at one point. Also gonna re-start the exercise in a fortnight after a big job gets done.

Any thoughts please? Remember please must not affect ED, can't go back to that horrible land! (Well technically still there as only 1 to 2 weeks off finasteride but hoping for an improvement!).

if it's just ed you might as well use v****. if it's libido they i suggest shaving your head or buying a wig.

There is nothing you can do except minoxidil and nizoral, and maybe a low dose saw palmetto but that could also cause sexual dysfunction. Keep us posted if you recover or not. Good luck.

how bad was your ED/libido? Could you get it going on your own while watching movies?

Did any of that stuff you took work?

Did you ever have any bloodwork done to see if anything was really out of wack?

How old are you?
