I was on Propecia for two months, and quit at the end of January. It’s now the end of March and I’m still suffering from side effects, and have a few questions just to get a sense of where I am.
I get erections during the night, but they’re only about 50%. I can usually get an erection if I put in the effort, but it’s not as hard as it used to be and it doesn’t last long once I stop masturbating/fantasizing. I still get some movement when I just sit and think about sex without physical contact but it’s not fully erect and doesn’t last long. I haven’t had an orgasm in a few days and I’ve found that I feel some arousal, but again, no erection without physical contact.
No brain fog or gynecomastia. I had pain in my testicles and prostate but that has stopped. My testicles are hanging like they used to before propecia unless it’s cold.

I’m curious if this is where you guys are, or if most people have completely lost the ability to have an erection.
-
I started losing my hair again about a month ago, do most people begin to lose their hair again? I’ve seen a few posts in which men have said their hair hasn’t started falling out again.
-
Any supplements you could recommend over the counter like zinc, etc.? I’m not too eager to begin taking any heavy medical treatment right now.
-
I went to the Doctor and my testosterone was normal; what tests should I get if/when I go back and what doctor (urologist?) should I see? I live in Massachusetts, are there any good doctors around here? I can’t imagine going much farther than Pennsylvania right now.
I’m sorry if I was supposed to post this information somewhere else, I’ve been going through these boards the last few days and there’s just so much different information. I’d really appreciate if someone could just give me some answers all in one place.
