Hello,
I recently tried to take Propecia as a means of halting and perhaps reversing my receding hairline. I had heard the horror stories but was largely informed by my dermatologist as well as my general doctor that my fears about developing sexual side effects and other physical problems were unfounded.
Unfortunately this does not seem to be the case, as I have developed what I would call a moderate case of erectile dysfunction along with a host of other symptoms including slightly decreased sensitivity and watery semen as a result of my intake of this medication. I stopped using Propecia about 2 weeks ago now, and foolishly, opted to take nutrafol, a herb blend that includes saw palmetto, for perhaps 4 more days before I realized that Nutrafol may be worsening my symptoms.
So all in all I would say it has been approximately 10 days since I discontinued all DHT blocking supplements. I have since suffered from great terror in realizing that I may have made a grand mistake, and no longer fear losing my hair as a consequence of this new dilemma.
I suppose I am posting just to see if I still have a chance of recovery, I feel as though I had a "crash" about a week ago, but have made modest improvements that seem to fluctuate since then. My mental clarity has increased morning erections have returned periodically.
I know it is mere conjecture, but any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
