Keep coping bro, the internet is full of doctors talking about PFS.
Definitely seen this a lot and believe it's real. Anecdotally feel symptoms are worse the younger they started on finasteride. Clomid has helped on a few pts with lower T / FSH/LH levels...

And I’m 100% certain this effects older guys as well...it’s just more obvious in the younger guys who typically have no co-morbidities.
(
so the typical cope of "you're just getting older bro" is nothing more than that in this Doctor's eyes, pure cope)

Post finasteride syndrome is so real!
Hundreds of patients coming to
#sandiegosexualmedicine with this. Often have low t. Make sure to check dht also! Some recommend andractim, available in Europe (and online). Shockwave therapy for ED. Can take years to get better for some!
There are even doctors themselves who have PFS like this one:

Finasteride has been added to the 'list of drugs to avoid in 2021' by a French Medical Journal
Translation from the
Journal 'Drugs to be Avoided for Better Care 2021 Report'
'Finasteride 1mg, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, has a very high efficacy in modest androgenic alopecia in men: it increases hair density only slightly on the top of the head (by about 10%), and only for the duration of the treatment. It exposes particular sexual disorders (e.g., sexual dysfunction in erection and ejaculation, decreased libido), depression, suicidal ideation and cancer of the breast. When a drug is the chosen option, local minoxidil used with care is less dangerous.'
(Finasteride is on page 6 of the journal)
The journal is called Prescrire, a medical journal that 'addresses developments in diseases, medications, and in medical techniques and technologies' and 'contains no advertising'.
According to their
website their 'editors are healthcare professionals, specially trained in Prescrire's editorial methods and free from conflicts of interest. Exacting quality control procedures are applied to all editorial content.'
