Back to normal except sex drive!

Symptoms Sexual
#1

Hey folks, I’m new here!

I’m 19 and took propecia for about 4 months this summer. I stopped in November and things seemed to get back to normal in most respects. My erections are now at full strength and reliable, they feel good and all. It took some time though, I didn’t get better after 2 weeks or anything which was worrying. Anyway, although that aspect of things is improved I still have some problems with my sex drive, I just don’t feel as horny as I used to. I’m thinking it might possibly be to do with worrying so much about it. I should also mention that while on propecia I did experience a virtual disappearance of ejaculate, which is back to normal now after a few months.

Does anyone know what this might be caused by? I must stress that everything is fine except my general libido. Any input would be welcome!

Any mental side effects like slurred speech, dissociation, cognitive impairment, anxiety, tripping over words, loss of wit, loss of personality? And did you do anything to help yourself recover or just let time go by? When exactly did you stop Propecia? I’ve been off since July 25th and while I have no sexual or physical side effects my mental ones make me sound retarded.

Nothing I have noticed with respect to mental side effects. When my erections started to get a bit funny I was a bit stressed out so that might have caused some social anxiety but that’s passed now. My semen was basically non-existant until I stopped, which was a bit scary too! Anyway I stopped at about October 28th I think. Things didn’t get better in a sharp way, it has been gradual. First my semen was okay, now my erections during an arousing experience are good but I still don’t seem to have the same all around horniness. I didn’t do anything really, just tried to relax and tell myself everything was going to be okay. After the semen came back to normal I was quite happy that things seemed to be mending and maybe being relaxed because of that helped with the erections? I’ll certainly keep posting my progress with respect to the libido thing. Hopefully it will resolve over time like everything else has.

p.s. Sorry to hear about your mental side effects, that must be really trying!
