I took propecia for about 5 years. I am 28 years now.
I can honestly say It was one of the worst experiences of my life. Second only to my fathers dead when I was child.
It has taken me 4 years to recover.
I had all the horrible things
The things I was suffering from was erections.
Maintaining erection.
Decreased sensitivity in penis
weaker sometimes no erection.
pain at the tip of my penis which i thought was prostatis.
pains in my fingers and toes.
I was suffering from fatigue
I felt depressed.
brainfog
insomnia
The things I did to help was I used free life coaching youtube.com/user/askbrentsmith
youtube.com/watch?v=9GonM4GctIg
david deangelo etc
I meditated try this www.calm.com
I went sprinting up hills once a day
I joined a 5 aside football team
and I bought a cheap bench press and worked out everyday
to cure sleep problems i got this amazon.co.uk/The-Effortless- … 1456492543
And I ate really healthily.
I took 5-HTP supplement for brain fog
I also recommend quitting porn or and masterbation - reddit.com/r/NoFap/
Porn and masterbation over load you with dopamine which leads to not easily getting erections.
Through all of these I linked I learnt to control my mind and train my brain to have positive thoughts which led me to not need to take viagra anymore. I believe its also about the person youre having sex with. if they’re a decent person they will be patient with you and understanding. This alone will make you feel relaxed which yourself to have erections.
It took me about 4 years to get better. I believe time does cure this problem but you must stay positive and not focus on propecia everyday. Keep yourself busy .
I was so depressed and lost and now I am on the other side. I still have symptoms, like a bowels problems and orgasms are getting better but are still not completely better - but I keep a positive state of mind.
Please try these things I have suggested. Sometimes you just have to believe.
Life Coaching can be looked down upon but sometimes when something as traumatic as what has happened to us has happened; sometimes you just need to let someone tell you what to do. To regain the basic things in coping with life.
A lot of people are very negative on this website so I dont really check it much. though its brilliant for the support, but filter the negative stuff.
I now have a beautiful girlfriend and we live in London and I make money out of playing music.
Hope all this helps - ofcourse I get really depressed sometimes but I never thought I would have come this far. This is a horrible battle but if it wasnt for this forum and finding positive stories I would not have overcome it
