Suffering mildish ED from finasteride or in my head?

Hey, just a quick back story I'm 20 years old, currently an NW2 but I'm losing a lot at the moment. I've been on 0.25mg of finasteride for only 5 days but even after the first day I've found it harder to achieve and maintain an erection. Is this likely or is this issue probably in my head? Should I continue finasteride with caution or immediately stop?

Oh and I haven't really noticed any other side effects, head seems fine, I don't feel tired and as far as I can tell my ejaculate is more or less the same.

Thanks.

reduce the dosage for a while. At 20 you can prob go with even half that dose and be fine with less sides.
In a week Id say thats quick but you never know. For months upon first starting finasteride I couldnt keep my boners down, every gave me wood, it was crazy.

I would not go on too much longer. Iwould give it a short period of time, maybe a few weeks maximum, and if you do not begin to feel "normal" on finasteride, then discontinue.

You should use finasteride with caution. There is no side effect from it. It is due to any other reason.

From the first minute I took my first ever load of finasteride I felt my c*** go numb and had to work hard to get an erection. That was literally within a minute of me taking it that I felt that numbness down there. As months have gone on the numbness has gone but I still have problems with ED right now 7 months on. I've just had a few days off from finasteride recently and libido has picked up a fair bit already. When all sides have gone I plan on starting again but cutting my dosage from 1.25 mg right down to 0.5... maybe even slightly less if I can. 0.2mg is meant to be sufficient enough (I found this info out late on). Either way I expect this little problem to lift soon. By the end of this month you should be noticing that it'll begin to smooth itself out.

I don't think you can get sides from after one day of using it, I strongly believe that's physiological.
My brother also started using finasteride and he started experiencing ball ache after two days of use.
I told him to stop so that's that, I would definitely be careful.

The post above me Is complete rubbish omg...
Never heard anything so silly.
