Minor ED Issue

[tellersquill]

I’ve been on propecia for around 6 weeks and I am now considering ending this medication. If I am honest I am conflicted about this decision – over the last three weeks all hair loss has stopped and for all intents and purposes the drug is working.
Unfortunately, these past few weeks has also led to growing symptoms of the dreaded ED. At the moment I have lost morning wood, feel smaller when flaccid, and find I need to manually stimulate now before sex. Fortunately I can still achieve an erection during sex but I am concerned that this too may become an issue.
I really want to keep using but I’m scared of losing my sex life.
Has anyone carried on using the pills and the symptoms just disappeared? Or, should I stop using propecia and stick to minoxidil and nizoral?
Please help

i feel you bruh, i had to stop too, as much as i dont want too i need my manhood, and i need to be able to perform when banging a b**ch, i had an embaressing episode with a girl i recently started dating and really dont want it to happen again, it sucks having a naked girl in front of you and you struggling to keep it up.

I'm on my second attempt and I originally stopped because of ED. It has started to come back but this time I am going to wait a few more months to see if it goes away and if not I will just suck it up.

Body may adjust over time. Don't panic.

All I can say is, I struggled with ED earlier in life, and it was almost entirely anxiety-driven... so I feel almost grateful for that experience going into my Finasteride use. I have noticed fewer morning erections but overall I'm still as functional as ever. I just have to believe that a ton of the ED experienced on finasteride is psychosomatic, just because it is THAT simple: you expect you won't get it up, you feel a little heat in your cheeks about it, and sure enough, it's not happening. Completely self-fulfilling.

I'm not saying the side-effects aren't real. Just that attitude IS THAT POWERFUL, and you won't be able to differentiate sides if you don't relax about them and expect the best.

The only issue I had was that my nipples became very sensitive :innocent:

Instant Reaction to Finasteride

I've always had a very high libido. I'm only 35. I don't have too much hair loss, but wanted to prevent anymore. I've tried taking 1.25 MG a day on and off over the past couple years. Each time, my erections became softer the very next day. The amount of semen was reduced and watery. I didn't
ejaculate with the same force and I barely had any desire to masturbate. Plus, I had no morning erections. This was my third attempt at using it. It really affected me. Luckily, things go back to normal in about a week, after I stop taking it. This drug is scary and I don't plan on trying it again. I'm glad to return to my normal horny self.
