limp with virtually no libido. HELP!

[nativeremedies]

I have been off propecia for a month, and now trying .5 every other day.
Seeing how that goes for a month.

I am also going to take my propecia just before I go to bed. Not that should matter but whatever

I have a similar problem with taking 1mg or 1.25mg daily. I am 27.
Personaly I don't think anyone should be worried about taking Propecia. The sides if you do get them, go away in a couple of weeks once you stop taking Propecia.

Gingko Biloba helps me.

I'm 25. It's strange, I had an overactive sex drive before taking propecia. Also, the only 3 people I know personally who take it also had sexual sides and they're my age. Im not trying to be a scare-monger, it just seems that the statistics are off a little.

well a sample size of 3 means nothing, and the fact that you guys know you are taking the drug, and ahead of time knew of possible sides... it's amazing what the mind can do to the body when taking an actual drug or placebo...

 

[SweatHorse]

wow that is amazing. what is less amazing however is how a drug that supresses a hormone that affects sexual function sometimes has an adverse affect on sexual function in those who take it.

it is hot these days!

I can’t believe there are people telling this poor soul it’s in his head. And he's 21? Are you mad??? It’s not in your head. In fact, if you are having these problem you should stop because it can be long term or even permanent. The endo system is extremely delicate and not even the best endocrinologists or those in the scientific community know exactly how hormones effect sexual function. I just went to a top endo who believes fully how finasteride can damage your system and doesn’t understand why there isn’t a more detailed and serious warning on the label. You should get some blood work done and get off it.

 

[SweatHorse]

I wouldnt believe it myself if I didnt have it. That's an interesting notion though, that it's all in my head. I guess that applies to my watery and practically non existent semen when I do manage to effectively achieve orgasm.

next time my flaccid 25 year old wang is in a hot chicks mouth, Ill just remember that its all in my head.

 

[westcovinajoe]

If you are this uber-confident of your sexual system's destruction by a little propecia, then I recommend you sue the makers of the drug.

I think you are wrong, but who knows, maybe a jury will buy it.

Joe.

Joe.

20% of ALL cases???? I wonder what the percentage would be in a study concerning only people ON HORMONE ALTERING DRUGS like finasteride?

Probably like 6000% dude.

Hey I think we all should use honey, or lotus flowers or whatever for baldness. It's gotta be all natural right?

Propecia is so dangerous. :roll:

Joe.

 

[SweatHorse]

i may just be beating a dead horse

but the point is to effectively combat the side effects. im certain that the sides will go away if i go off the drug, but we who have sides also want to keep our hair.

and joe,

i gave you the benefit of the doubt before, but now its quite obvious that you are a moron. so, maybe you should keep your legal advice to yourself.

 

[rkim]

"im certain that the sides will go away if i go off the drug"

I wouldn't be so sure. I was in the same boat. Didn't believe those that claimed long term or permanent sides. Thought they were such a small minority or they were mistaken. Then boom it happened to me. I don't know how long it could take but I'm over 6 months off finasteride and still experiencing sides. You'll think I'm mistaken but I assure you it's happening. My endo said he's seen many patients in the same boat. There are websites with many people suffering long term (years). They're all crazy? I know a lot of people can tolerate finasteride. I'm not saying it's all bad. But it does have the potential to be.

hey man, some guys have problems even at 25... you are probably one of them, and once it happens once, it keeps on happening... i have never even heard of somebody not having "practically non existent semen" on this board, or reported in any trials...

are you on any other drugs? SSRIs?

Your DHT levels return back to normal within 30 days... the drug has a 4 hour half life... like westcovinajoe said, sue Merck if you really think that this drug has done permanent damage to your physical body

 

[SweatHorse]

yes, i am certain that its the drug that is the cause of my disfunction. i had a super high libido. less semen is a side effect, it is happenning to me. im not on any other drug. i lead a very healthy lifestyle and i am in very good shape.

im not going to sue merck. i am now taking generic proscar and dont have records of my prescriptions, plus i want to continue taking the drug. for god sakes dont take legal advice from joe.

 

[westcovinajoe]

Not only can't you take a joke, but you can't discern what is good advice and what isn't.

If you have been damaged by Propecia you should sue.

Unless of course you have an agenda other than that which you have mentioned.

Joe.

 

[SweatHorse]

What legal theory do you suggest I sue under, the Limp Dick Doctrine? I have a side effect that is listed on the package, that's my assumption of risk. My only chance at a viable law suit would require that I not take finasteride anymore, have a record of prescriptions for the drug, conduct another double blind study to maybe show that Merck intentionally misrepresented the percentage and/or severity of side effects and produce evidence of my current flaccid shlong.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I would like to present Exhibit A: my client's lifeless, pathetic 25 year old dick."

open and shut case.

 

[westcovinajoe]

No wiseguy, you swear up and down that even though you quit taking Propecia your sex life has been harmed.

So...

If you truly believe this to be the case, you have a duty to sue not only for your own compensation, but for the protection of other men who may lose erections as well.

There have been crazier lawsuits before to be sure, such as a couple who sued saying tile grout ruined their sex life.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/?feed=Q ... exlife.xml

I admire people who are willing to stand up and do more than whine and complain if they truly feel victimized, and as I remember you do.

You take pill, you suffer damage, you sue.

Or maybe you are not telling us the whole story as has often been the case here with Propecia=ED posters in the past.

By the way, saying you had an overly-high sex drive would not be an indication you are normal, rather an indication you are not. Perhaps Propecia should not be used in those with hyperactive sex drives.

We won't know though unless you follow through with your claims.

Perhaps you should contact Merck. I have written them in the past and found them to be helpful, such as the time someone claimed to have inside information as to Propecia's safety record.

Joe.

 

[bubka]

i mean, going from a "super high libido" to "dysfunction"..., there are so many different factors to add up besides propecia, which you claim has had permanent physiological effects is pretty bold...

i don't think it is uncommon at all for guys to lose libido at 25... and obviously hair is more important to you, or it's not that bad, because you still take the drug

i am not trying to argue with you, it's just these blanketing statements which one person can label the entire drug with

 

[SweatHorse]

joe, please refer to my previous post about you being a moron.

Bubka, I wouldnt describe attributing sexual dysfunction to a pill whose side effect is that, a blanketing statement. When I went off the drug for a couple weeks my sex drive slowly crept back.

Im just repeating myself now.

 

[westcovinajoe]

You keep taking a pill that you believe prevents you from having sexual relationships and you refuse to call or write the makers of the pill and I am the moron.

Keep whining and doing nothing about then I guess. I wonder why you even posted here since you have no interest in anything anyone says that you don't already agree with...
